air control in the middle position, move the air
control lever to the left about 10 mm. (See figure

FAST
COMBUSTION:
chamber completely with wood placed on a bed
of hot embers or in a fire that is burning actively.
Open the main air control fully by moving the lever
to the left. (See figure below). A high combustion
rate once or twice a day for 35 to 45 minutes heats
up the chimney flue completely. This will help to
minimize creosote build-up.

HOW TO PREVENT OVERHEATING
Overheating means that the stove reaches a
temperature that is higher than that usually
achieved during the fast combustion rate
described in the previous COMBUSTION RATE
section.
Take care to avoid excessive overheating, as this will
damage the stove. The symptoms of frequent
overheating will be deformed components, short
combustion times, "snoring" noise in the stove or
chimney and discolouration of the chimney flue. A
correctly
installed
recommended fuel and is operated as described in
this manual should not overheat.
Excessive draw, inappropriate fuel and mistakes
when using the stove may lead to excessive
combustion rates. Correct an overheating situation
as follows:
• EXCESSIVE DRAFT: Contact your local dealer
to take a reading of the draw. Any draw that
exceed 25 Pa shot requires a valve in the
chimney flue. Some installations may require
more than one valve.
• INAPPROPRIATE FUEL: Do not burn coal, kiln
dried wood, wax logs or other wood that is not
natural.
• INCORRECT USE: Check that all ceramic seals
are in good condition. Replace worn or
compressed seals. Do not use the stove with the
front door or the ash pan door fully or partially
open.
If you suspect that your stove is overheating, stop
using it and contact your dealer immediately.
Damage caused by excessive overheating is not
covered by the warranty. The consequences of
excessive overheating may include warped or
burned internal parts, cracked refractory panels,
discoloured or warped external parts, and damaged
enamel finish.
OVERHEATING SYMPTOMS WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY!
