REQUIREMENTS
APPLIANCE
This 'closed appliance' is a real heating appliance :
•
High output.
•
Slow speed running for a long period of time.

6.1 - First lighting

•
After the building of the fireplace and the setting up
of the appliance, a drying period of the materials
used for the work has to be respected (2 to 3
weeks).
•
After the first lighting (see paragraph 6.4.1), make
a moderate fire in the first hours limiting the loading
in the appliance (a log of ∅ 15 cm) with the air
intake damper in an intermediate position (Fig.
20) : progressive rise in temperature of all the
elements of the fireplace and normal expansion of
the appliance.
•
During the first uses, a paint odor can come out
from the appliance : ventilate the room to limit this
inconvenience..

6.2 - Fuel

6.2.1 – Recommanded fuel
Hard wood : oak, hornbeam, beech, chestnut tree, etc...
in log of 50 cm long.
Maximum loading height: 20 cm.
We recommend you to use very dry wood (20 %
maximum humidity), that is a 2-year store under shelter
after cutting, to get better outputs and to avoid the
darking of the smoke flue and of the windows.
Avoid the use of conifers (pines, firs, spruces...) which
ask for a more frequent cleaning of the appliance and
the flue.
6.2.2 – Forbidden fuels
All fuels except wood are forbidden, especially coal and
its by-products.
Fires with twigs, twinings, small boards, straw,
cardboard are dangerous and banned.
The appliance must not be used as a waste incinerator.

6.3 - Use of the operation parts and equipment

Door handle : it must be handled thanks to the cold
hand.
Air intake control lever : it must be handled thanks to
the cold hand.
Cold hand : it is used to handle the pull knob of the air
control, and the door knob. It is also used to pull out the
ashtray.
Scraper : it is used to remove and to arrange the logs in
the fireplace according to the combustion.
Do not burn your hands uselessly. Use the accessories.
FOR THE
The lighting postion is obtained through moving the
damper directly with the hand : this position can only be
used when the appliance is 'cold' and in making the
following operations (Fig. 20) :
•
•
•
After the lighting, to come back to normal speed
position, intermediate speed or slow speed, use the
poker which can be hot to push the damper.

LIGHTING DAMPER
Operation n° 1 :
Push the primary air adjutment damper to the right
up to a stop which corresponds to the locking of
the'lighting position'.
Operation n° 2 :
Lift the air intake damper.
Operation n° 3 :
Maintain the damper in its high position and push it
to the right : you are in ' lighting position'.
Put the air intake damper in lighting position (Fig.
20).
Place crumpled paper and small and very dry parts
of wood (twigs) on the grate, then place branches
of split wood of a bigger size (∅ 3 à 5 cm).
Light the paper and shut the door (leave it slightly
open to accelerate the lighting in avoiding any
blowing back outside the appliance).
When the loading of small parts of wood is well lit,
open the door, load the appliance with the
recommended fuel.
The wanted speed is obtained in moving the
different components (see Fig. 20) and in choosing
a load corresponding to the needs.
To get a slower speed for a longer period, load on a
hardly glowing bed of embers.
To get a rapid blaze, restart the fire with small parts
of wood, load with logs, possibly maintaining the
door slightly open for a few minutes to accelerate
the blaze, keeping
surveillance, then close the door. This operation
allows to accelerate the restart, especially if the
wood is humid.
Adjust the speed changes (going from a normal
speed to a slower speed for example) before
loadings in the embers'combustion stage, to let the
appliance and the smokes' flue progressively
change speed.
In order to avoid smoke blowing back and falling
down of the ashes in the room when you reload, the
opening of the door needs to take a few
precautions :
the appliance under
