5.4.2 - Working Requirements

5.4.2.1 - Closed
•
Use the damper to adjust the stove to the rate at
which you want the wood to burn (see § 5.3). The
amount of wood you put in depends on the heating
rate you require :
- For maximum heat, put in 3 logs with a diameter of
about 12 cm.
- For medium heat, just put in one or two logs.
- For a longer heating period at low heat, put in one or
two non-split logs with a diameter greater than 15
cm.
•
For a very long heating period at reduced heat, put
the logs on top of embers that are giving off very little
glow.
•
To get the stove going quickly, put in some kindling.
If necessary, leave the door ajar for a few minutes
(keep an eye on the stove) and then shut the door.
This will speed burning up and is especially useful if
the wood is at all wet.
•
While the embers are recatching, before reloading
change the damper control (e.g. normal to low) so
that the stove and the smoke flue can gradually
adjust.
•
To avoid any smoke being discharged or ash falling
into the room when recharging the fire, the following
precautions must be taken when opening the door:
- Switch off the fan to avoid drawing in ash which
may then fall from the front of the appliance.
Open the door slightly, wait a few moments for
-
the draught to be established in open door mode,
and then slowly open the door.
•
In mild periods and if using wet wood, slow burning
at low speed can result in incomplete burning wich
causes deposits of soot and tar. To avoid this,
alternative between low and normal speed.
•
When the stove has been working at low speed, the
glass may get slightly sooted up. Any soot will
usually be bumt off when the stove is working at a
higher speed.

5.4.2.2 - Ash Removal

•
The air used for burning the wood comes in under
the grate when the damper is open. The incoming air
also cools the grate. So in order to ensure the best
performance from your stove and prevent damage to
the grate through overheating, it is essentiel to empty
out the ash so as to keep the grate clean.
- Use the scraper to remove ash (Fig. 8).
- The ash pan, located underneath the grate, is easily
removed using the poker.
•
The ash level should never be so high as to reach
the cast iron grate.

5.4.2.3 - Safety Rules

•
Never try to extinguish the fire with water.
•
Be careful of the glass, which gets very hot. Keep
children away from it.
•
The stove gives out a lot of heat through the glass,
so keep materials and heat-sensftive objects at least
1.50 metres away from it.
•
Empty the ash pan into a special metal or otherwise
inflammable receptacle used only for this purpose.
Ashesthat might appearcold can stili bevery hot,
even if you think they have had enough time to get
cold.
•
Do not put easily flammable materials near the
appliance or in the wood store.
•
It is especially important not to store wood under the
appliance.
6 - SWEEPING AND MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS : STOVE AND SMOKE FLUE
Mechanical sweeping of the smoke flue is obligatory.
This should be done several times a year and at least
once during the
concerned should provide the necessary certificats.
For sweeping :
•
Remove the deflector :
- Lift the deflector
10).
- Lower the back of the deflector
(Fig. 11).
- To replace the deflector, follow the same steps in
reverse.
•
Carefully check the condition of the appliance, and
more especially smoke-tightness : seals, fixings, and
door and frame.
•
Check the condition of the smoke flue and the
connecting pipe ; all fittings should be in good
mechanical condition and be smoke-tight.
•
Clean the extractor fan inside the hood to get rid of
any dust and if necessary clearthe hot air convection
system.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

•
Clean the glass with a damp cloth. If necessary, use
a household cleaning product provided it complies
with user instructions. Wait until the stove is
completely cool before cleaning.
•
Periodically clean the secondary air intake :
