. For a longer heating period at low speed, put in one or two non-split logs a
diameter greater than 15 cm.
For slow burning over a long period, put the logs on top of a bed of embers that are
giving off very little glow.
- To obtain a quick regain, after a slow speed, boost the fire with kindling, make a
loading, place the air adjustment damper in position (A) Fig. 9a and 9b during a few
minutes to speed up the burning, keeping the appliance under close control, then
close the damper. This method gets the fire going quickly again, especially if the
wood is slightly damp.
- While the embers are recatching, before reloading change speed (e.g. normal to
low) so that the stove and the smoke flue can gradually adjust.
- To avoid upsetting while you are reloading, half-open the door, make a small
pause, to slowly open the door. (Do not forget to stop the vent, if need be, to avoid
hovering ashes and smokes).
- In mild periods and if using wet wood, continuous working at low speed can result
in incomplete combustion, which causes deposits of soot and tar. To avoid this,
alternate between low and normal speed.
- When the stove has been working at low speed, the glass may get slightly sooted
up. Any soot will usually be burnt off when the stove is working at a higher speed.

5.4.2.2 Ash Removal

The air used for burning the wood comes in under the grate when the damper is
open. The incoming air also cools the grate.
performance from your stove and prevent damage to the grate through overheating,
it is essential to empty out the ash so as to keep the grate clean.
- Use the scraper to remove ash (Fig. 6).
- The ash pan, located underneath the grate, is easily removed using the poker.
The ashes level should never reach the hearth's cast-iron grid.

5.4.2.3 Safety Rules

- Never try to extinguish the fire with water.
- Be careful of the glass, which gets very hot. Keep children away from it.
- The stove gives out a lot of heat through the glass, so keep materials and heat-
sensitive objects at least 1,50 metres away from it.
- Empty the ash pan into a special metal or otherwise inflammable receptacle used
only for this purpose. Ashes that might appear cold can still be very hot, even if you
think they have had enough time to get cold.
- Do not put easily flammable materials near the appliance or in the wood stove.
It is especially important not to store wood under the appliance (Fig. 8).
