Dear Client,
Congratulations on your new wood-burning stove, which will be a comfortable source of heat to enjoy for many
years on end. With its unique design you can view the Black Diamond from all corners of the room.
When designing this replace we took particular care regarding the ease of use, the operational safety and the
design. The Black Diamond is developed and produced at our own factory in Netterden (the Netherlands) and is
for the greater part handmade. Only the best materials are used for the construction and comply with current
international standards. This will guarantee that your woodstove has a long life.
The rst part of this user’s guide gives you tips and directions about how to use your wood-burning stove correctly
and safely. The second part of the manual contains the installation instructions and the technical specications of
the Black Diamond. They are of particular importance to the installer.
We advise you to read this manual thoroughly before using your new stove and to keep the manual in a handy

General information
The Black Diamond Black Diamond Compact with duct casing
The Black Diamond is a combination of comfort and ecient heat emission. The large glass panes allow
emission of the heat from the stove directly to the environment to make your room instantly comfortable. The
built-in ue gas deector ensures circulation of ue gases in the interior parts. Combined with the extra afterburning, it means that the ue gases have better combustion and reduce the burden on the environment. You
can regulate the intake of combustion air with the integrated air slide valve and adjust the intensity of the re
and the output of your stove.
Installation
It is common practice for the dealer where you purchased your Black Diamond stove to also take care of
installing it. If this is not the case, please ensure that the installation is done by a certied installer. A certied
installer can also give you the right advice about the ue tube to which the stove must be connected.
Connecting wood-burning stoves by unqualied persons is prohibited, in which case we cannot give any
guarantee about proper functioning of your Black Diamond stove. Please bear the re safety in mind when
installing the stove. See also page 24.
The wood-burning stove is suitable as an extra heat source and does not replace your principal
heating device.
Lighting the stove
Usage early in autumn or late in winter
When the external and internal temperatures do not dier much, a proper chimney draught is a real
challenge. You can help chimney draught get started by burning some wood while keeping all air
inlets maximally open. An abundant air supply speeds up quick heating which in turn increases the
draught in the chimney. Lighting up the stove with only a little wood prevents smoke from streaming
into the room.
The stove will become very hot when you light it and will need at least two hours to cool o. Don’t
touch the stove without protection during ring and for two hours after. Handle the stove always with
a glove to avoid getting serious burns.

Slide the valve in the ue gas pipe open. Slide the
air valve to its maximum position. Open the door
and put some balls of paper or some relighters inside
the stove and place some wood kindling on top. Light
the kindling and leave the door ajar to let in extra air
and, if necessary, slide the ashpan and the shaking
grate a bit open. Once the stove is burning, which
is after about ve minutes, you may close the door
and the ashpan again. Do not place more than three
logs in the stove at a time. Be sure there is always
enough ventilation when the stove is burning. If you
want to temper the re, you must rst close the valve
in the ue tube and then close the air supply and the
shaking grate.
Avoid nger marks
Do not touch the glass of the stove with your ngers. Finger marks will burn into the glass and cannot
be removed later.
It is prohibited to light the stove with liquids like petrol or spirits.
Do not have the cooker hood on in the room where you operate your stove. Never touch the varnished
parts when you heat your stove.
Lighting the stove for the rst time
Discolouration of walls, ceilings and grates
The walls, ceilings and grates may show some discolouration after lighting your hearth. This is caused
by the dust particles that burn in the convection cover. This is a natural process for which WANDERS
cannot be held responsible. To minimize discolouring we refer to the advice given for atmospheric
hearths. Your installer can give you more information about this.
When you light the Black Diamond for the rst time, the hearth must still ‘anneal’ and temper itself. The unit
has a heat resistant lacquer which must burn in the stove at temperatures above 400 °Celsius. This will happen
during the rst few times of lighting the stove and temperatures rise to 600 °C. Though this may give an
unpleasant smell, it is otherwise harmless. It is advisable to keep the stove burning with limited fuel for at
least 6 hours when lighting the stove for the rst 4 or 5 times. Air the room well when the stove is burning.
Make sure that any cooking hood is not turned on when the stove is burning; a cooking hood extracts the
combustion air that the stove needs.
Some deposit may form on the glass panes of the stove when you ‘anneal’ your hearth. You can easily remove
this deposit with a damp cloth after the stove has cooled down. You can also use some cleansing agent for
ceramic rings. Please make sure you do not leave any nger marks on the clean glass. Finger marks burn into
the glass and cannot be removed later.
Newly-built house or recently renovated?
It is advisable to wait six weeks before lighting the stove in a newly-built house that has recently been completed, or in
a space that has recently been renovated drastically. The walls and ceilings still contain gases, softeners and moisture
from plasterwork or paint. The warm air-streams may discolour the dust particles in the space which may stick to
walls and ceilings. Even the moisture in the walls and ceilings will become warm and may cause yellow stains.

Fuel
Wood species and storage
You can use all kinds of woods as fuel as long as it is clean, split and dry. Hardwood like oak, beech and
birch burn slowly, give o much heat and form charcoal easily. Softer woods like spruce, r and poplar
give more ames but less heat and less charcoal.
The best place to store timber is in a windy spot but sheltered from the rain. This is how the logs can
dry in a natural way. Pile the logs on an old pallet or a frame to let the wood dry from underneath and
to prevent the lower logs from being in contact with water.
Wood species Drying time
Fir, Poplar 1 year
Lime, Willow, Spruce, Birch,
Ash, Alder
1,5 years
Fruit trees, Beech 2 years
Oak 2,5 years
The Black Diamond only burns on wood. Do not put more than 3 to 4 kg of fuel in the stove at the time. Always
use clean and cut logs, which have suciently dried. Please see the above list for drying times. Wet wood does
not burn well and gives heavy smoke emission. It may blacken the glass pane of your stove with soot and build
up smut in the ue pipe. This may increase the risk of chimney re.
Fresh, moist wood contains about 50% moisture. Cleaved wood still contains 20% moisture after drying it for
a year and moisture percentage will be decreased to 12 to 15% after drying it for two years. Dry wood gives
nice ames and little or no smoke, and the re will crackle when burning. Wet wood makes a hissing sound,
gives much smoke and only small ames which will considerably dampen the pleasure of burning your stove
and the heat output.
Do not put any paran-containing logs in your stove. When the door is closed, the high heat will
melt the paran from the logs too quickly. The polluted ue gasses which consequently develop will
deposit on and burn in the glass of your stove and cannot be removed later.
Do not use any wood that is painted, impregnated, glued together or processed in any other way. The
ue gases are very harmful to the environment and may aect your stove. It is also prohibited to burn
plastics and other waste matter due to poisonous smoke development.
The best way to burn your stove
All WANDERS’ stoves are designed so that they give a maximum output. A well-lit wood-burning stove can
produce a yield of about 75%. This means that you need less wood for the same amount of heat. Moreover, a
well-lit stove produces less smoke pollution. Below are a few tips to give you optimum pleasure:
• Always burn your stove with its door closed; this will improve the output within 8 to 10 times. When the
door of the stove is open, the chimney will draw more air than is needed for proper combustion. The relatively cold air will cool the re. It will also preclude re damage by any sputtering sparks, especially from
softwood.
• Do not put more than 3 logs on the re at one time. Too much fuel at one time thwarts ecient combus-
