3.3 - VENTILATION OF THE AREA IN WHICH THE APPLIANCE IS TO BE INSTALLED

•
The appliance needs air in addition to the air required by the statutory air change rate. This is obligatory when the
dwelling includes mechanical ventilation.
•
The air intake should give directly to the outside or should be located in an area ventilated to the outside ; it
should also be protected by a grille.
•
The air outlet should be as near as possible to the stove. The user should be able to close it off when it comes
out directly into the room. While the appliance is being used, make sure that it is free of any obstructions.
•
The air intake section should be at least equal to one-quarter of the section of the smoke flue with a minimum of :
2
- 50 cm for use with the door closed only
•
It may be necessary to stop the extractor of the mechanical ventilation so as to avoid smoke coming back into the
room when the door is opened.

4 - STOVE OPERATING CONDITIONS

4.1 FIRST LIGHTING

- Once the chimney is implemented and the stove set, observe the drying time of the materials used for
the construction (2 to 3 weeks).
- Do not connect the stove to a pipe linked to several appliances.
- After first lighting (see paragraph 4.4.1), make a moderate fire for the first hours by limiting the stove's
load (a 15cm diameter log) (thermostat position 4).
. Progressive heating of all the elements in the chimney and normal stove expansion.
- During the first hours of use, the stove may produce a smell of paint : ventilate the room to limit its
effects.

4.2 FUEL

4.2.1 Fuel recommended

Hardwood logs with a maximum length of 56 cm : oak, hornbeam, beech, chestnut, etc...
Maximum loading height : 25 cm.
We recommended using very dry wood (maximum 20% humidity), i.e. 2 years dry storage
following cutting, in order to obtain higher yields and avoid sooting the smoke duct and the
windows.
Do not use resinous woods (pine, fir, spruce, etc.), which involve more frequent maintenance of
the stove and the flue.

4.2.2 Forbidden fuel

Any other combustible than wood is forbidden, in particular coal and its by-products.
Burning kindling, canes, slats, straw, cardboard, liquid fuels is dangerous and should be avoided.
The appliance should not be used as a waste incinerator.
