First Usage - RAIS/attika New PILAR Manuel D'utilisateur

English
Secondary air is the air, added to the gas combustion zone, meaning air, which contrib-
utes to the combustion of the pyrolysis gasses (preheated air, used for cleaning the glass
and combustion). This air is sucked through the damper and is pre-heated through the
side channels and then emitted as hot scavenging air onto the glass. The hot air rinses the
glass and keeps it soot-free.
Tertiary air at the back of the burning chamber at the top (2 rows of holes) ensures the
combustion of the final gas residues and particles before leaving through the chimney.
The pilot nozzles are placed in the back plate and front of the combustion chamber. They
ensure that the bed of glowing embers is fed with air and therefore holds a high tempera-
ture. It provides a quick start when refuelling and ,. reduces the risk of fire going out.
CleverAIR™ ensures an optimal air mixture and a clean combustion at any burning phase.
Due to the bi-metal regulated burning automation an incorrect operation is excluded.

First usage

A careful start pays off. Start with a small fire, so that the wood burning stove can get
accustomed to the high temperature. This gives the best start and any damage is avoided.
Be aware that a strange but harmless odour and smoke concoction may emanate from
the surface of the stove, the first time you fire up. This is because the paint and materi-
als need to harden. The odour disappears quickly, but you should check the ventilation
and draught, if possible. See also, the IMPORTANT warning notice below about persistent
fumes.
During this process you must be careful not to touch the visible surfaces/glass, and it is
recommended that you regularly open and close the door to prevent the door seal from
sticking.
The stove may also produce "clicking noises" during heating and cooling, caused by the
large temperature differences which the material is subjected to.
Never use any type of liquid fuel for kindling or maintaining the fire. There is a danger of
explosion.
The stove gets very hot when in use always wear protective gloves when tending the
stove.
If the stove has not been used for a while, follow the steps as if you were using it for the
first time.
IMPORTANT - Warning Note!
Properly installed, operated and maintained this appliance will not emit fumes into the
dwelling. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent
fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does
persist, the following immediate actions should be taken:
1. Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
2. Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.
3. Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required.
4. Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been
identified and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.
