3 - USING THE STOVE

Once your stove has been installed and connected
to the chimney, you are ready to light the fire.
Although your stove is easy to use, the combustion
process of solid fuels is complicated, as it involves
several factors and it takes time and experience to
understand the process.
Before lighting your stove for the first time, please
take time to become familiar with the different
control systems and parts of the unit, how to
choose the wood, how to light it and use it on a
daily basis.
ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND that the stove generates
heat and, therefore, keep children, clothing,
furniture... at a distance to prevent burns from
direct contact with the appliance.
Below, we have included some advice on your
stove and on its use. Please read with care.
Door handle
To open the door, turn the handle upward to the
open position, and gently pull.
The door can open up to 180º
To close, turn the knob to the open position, close
the door, press slightly and turn the handle gently

Once an ideal combustion rate has been achieved,
adjust the vale to prevent excessive air intake,
which will cause excessive combustion levels and
temperatures.
The intermediate position is usually the ideal
adjustment, depending on the quality of the draw
of the chimney installed and on the type of fuel
being used (hard or soft wood) (Fig. 3).
Ash pan
Very important!
Only handle the ash pan when the stove is cold.
Always avoid opening the ash-pan if your stove is
in operation.
If, for some reason, you find it necessary to open
it, open the stove door first to prevent excessive
combustion.
To clean the ash, lift the blind grill located at the
bottom of the stove.
Use a tool (brush) to sweep the ash into the ash-
pan.
The ash-pan is removed from under the stove tray
(Fig. 4).
To remove the ash-pan from its position, pull the
handle gently to release it. Once you have emptied
the ash, replace the ash-pan and push it into place
firmly so that it is locked again.
