Regulate draw by means of the primary air valve (fig. 2). Take into account that
excessive draw will lead to greater coal or wood consumption and to the overheating
of the top.
Never fill the combustion chamber with fuel completely or leave the ash pan cover
open.
Do not place wood or coal near the door.
Recommended chimney draw is 1.5 mmwc. In order to control the operation of the
cooker and to avoid extremely powerful combustion, a 12 gap grille is supplied.
If, once you have installed the cooker, it is unable to reach the correct
performance temperature, open more gaps on the grille until you obtain the
necessary chimney draw. If, in spite of all the holes in the grill, you are still
unable to achieve the temperature, it may be that the draw of your chimney is
insufficient. In these cases, you may purchase a slotted grille that provides
greater passage of air for combustion. This grille is optional.
Always control oven temperature by means of the thermometer installed on the door.
If the temperature should reach 250 C (Yellow area on the thermometer), do not add
further fuel, close the air admission valve to the ash pan and, if necessary, open the
door to the log oven to reduce combustion.
Any overheating of the cooker, indicated by oven temperature exceeding 300 C (red
area on the thermometer), may lead to the deterioration of the hob.
During the yearly cleaning process, or whenever necessary, check the good state of
the under part of the glass ceramic hob. If it needs changing, replace it. This
component is attached to the frame and its replacement is a very simple and
economical operation. Cooking will take less time if the bottoms of pots, pans and
other utensils are perfectly flat.
We recommend a slow fire for 3 to 4 hours when lighting-up for the first time.
This will help stabilise the different components and avoid any possible
breakages.
a) Enamelled front
Preferably clean when the cooker is cold. Use a damp cloth dipped in soapy water and
then dry.
Do not use strong detergents or abrasive products with acid components that
may damage the enamel.
All brass hinges have received a protective coating based on the following features:
Type: Polyester / TGIC
Indoor and outdoor use
Temperature supported: 190+C for 10( and 170+C for 20(
Adhesion in accordance with ISO 2409: 100% 100%
Coat: 40-50 micron
Dampness test in accordance with ISO 6270 1000 hours without losing
adhesion
Salt mist test in accordance with standard ISO 7253: 1000 hours without the
appearance of blisters or corrosion points.
Avoid the use of strong detergents or abrasive products that may damage the enamel.
