Ash pan
Very important!
Only handle the ash pan when the
stove is cold.
Always avoid opening the ash-pan if
your stove is in operation.
To clean the ash, lift the blind grill
located at the bottom of the stove.
Use a tool (brush) to sweep the ash
into the ashpan.
The ash-pan is removed from under
the stove tray
(Fig. 4).
To remove the ash-pan from its
position, pull the handle gently to
release it. Once you have emptied
the ashes, return the ash pan to the
ash drawer, pushing it into place to
create a seal.
Do not forget to replace the cover in
the bottom of the fire box.
4 - LIGHTING UP AND USE
Important at first start: may come off a few drops of condensed water from the stove, produced by the
humidity of the environment where the stove was stored.
It is very important that the first time the heater is lit, it is done so slowly.
This is for the following reasons:
•
Stabilise cast iron parts.
•
Harden the joint sealant putty. Advise:
•
We recommend that the first loads of fuel be small.
•
To generate draw, heat the chimney by introducing some burning paper in the gap between the
front and the deflector, directing it toward the chimney.
•
While lighting for the first time, ensure the room where the heater is located is well ventilated as
the paint work may let off some fumes.
•
Keep the stove on for a few hours at this intensity.
•
IMPORTANT! The total height of the fire load should not exceed 50% of the height of the
combustion chamber.
•
The heater must be closed at all times during combustion to prevent smoke from leaking out.
Only open to add fuel.
Daily use
After lighting up for the first time, your heater will be ready for daily use.
Your heat requirements will be obtained based on the frequency and the amount of firewood you load.
When your heater is cold, we recommend lighting it up slowly.
Overheating.
Overheating means that you have operated your heater at a excessively high temperatures for a long
period of time. This can damage your appliance and, therefore, it is a situation that must be avoided.
