•
High output.
•
Slow speed running for a long period of time.
5.1 - First lighting
•
Do not connect the stove to a pipe linked to several
appliances.
•
After the first lighting (see paragraph 5.4.1), 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 (see
paragraph 5.4.2) : 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..
5.2 - Fuel
5.2.1 – 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.
5.2.2 – 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.
5.3 - 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 (Fig. 7) : It is used for manoeuvring the door
handle and for taking out the ashes tray.
Scraper (Fig. 8) : 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.
LIGHTING DAMPER
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. 9) :
•
Operation n° 1 :
Pull
the
primary
corresponding to the locking of the "Lighting
position".
•
Operation n° 2 :
Lift the air intake damper.
•
Operation n° 3 :
Pull the lever to its maximum height : you are in the
"Lighting Position".
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.
5.4 - Use
NB: this lighting position must only be used when
lighting your appliance. Once it is lit, the lever must
be pushed back. You risk damaging your appliance
if you do not respect these recommendations. You
are likely to damage your appliance if you do not
comply with these recommendations.
5.4.1 - Lighting
•
Put the air intake damper in lighting position (Fig.
9).
•
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.
•
Push the ignition booster completely back again.
5.4.2 - Working
•
The wanted speed is obtained in moving the
different components (Fig. 1 Ref. 6) and in
choosing a load corresponding to the needs.
-
Pull the knob completely for it to be at
maximum speed (Fig. 9).
-
Push the knob completely back for it to be at
minimum speed (Fig. 9).
-
Choose
intermediary speed (Fig. 9).
•
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,
surveillance, then close the door. This operation
allows to accelerate the restart, especially if the
wood is humid.
