10 - COMBUSTION REGIME
SLOW COMBUSTION: move the air control
lever fully to the right (see figure below). This
regulates the air intake to its minimum range. Slow
combustion is not recommended for extended
periods of time, as this can cause the formation
and accumulation of creosote in the chimney.
Frequently inspect the chimney if you regularly use
slow combustion rates.
MEDIUM-SLOW
primary air control lever in the slow position, tap
the lever to the left, a little less than 10 mm (see
figure below). A medium-slow combustion rate is
the typical configuration and is preferable if we
do not pay much attention to the stove. With this
combustion range, small amounts of wood burn
for a long time.
MEDIUM COMBUSTION: with the primary air
control lever in the slow position, move the air
control lever to the left until it is in the centre (see
figure below). This position, while burning 3,7 Kg
of Birch with a humidity level below 20% for 60
minutes, was used by an independent laboratory
to obtain the data on Power and Performance
detailed in the specifications plate located on the
back of the stove. (These data are the average
obtained after conducting various tests).
COMBUSTION: with
MEDIUM-FAST COMBUSTION: with the primary
air control in the middle position, move the air
control lever to the left about 10 mm. (See figure
below).
the
FAST COMBUSTION: load the 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.
