Regulating draw
The cooker is supplied with a sliding valve that can be installed in the wall to increase
and reduce the diameter of the chimney and, hence, regulate draw (fig. 11).
The log door and the ash cover are provided with sliding valves that regulate secondary
and primary air intake, respectively.
Direct draw
In order to avoid smoke leaking due to deficient chimney draw (when cold), we
recommend opening the direct draw hatch before lighting the cooker. Pull the control
(button) located on the front, beneath the hob frame. Push the control until it touches
the front, once the chimney is hot.
Lighting for the first time.
When lighting the hearth for the first time we recommend a slow fire for 3 to 4 hours.
This will help stabilise the different components and avoid any possible breakages.
1.- Enamelled front, hob frame and sides.
Preferably clean when the cooker is cold. Use a damp cloth dipped in soapy water and
then dry.
Avoid using strong detergents or abrasive products that may damage the enamel
All brass hinges should be cleaned in the classical manner using specific products of
this purpose.
Polished top.
To preserve the aspect of this top, clean frequently with a powdered detergent and a
metal scouring pad and then dry. Be careful not to damage the enamel frame.
Ash
When this operation is required, remove the grille and move the ash to the ash pan.
Empty the ash pan in a metal container and immediately remove from the house.
Soot
The cover that has to be removed to clean soot is at the bottom of the front section.
This cover is used to clean soot that may have accumulated at the bottom of the cooker.
