4.4 USE
4.4.1 Lighting
- Set the thermostat to maximum pace.
- Place crumpled paper on the grating and very dry kindling wood (twigs), then larger cross-
section cut wood (diameter 3 to 5 cm).
- Light the paper and close the door (leave it partly open to accelerate lighting up).
- Once the "kindling wood" load is burning, open the door, load the appliance with the
recommended fuel and use the regulation devices to obtain the burning required.
4.4.2 Operation
4.4.2.1 Periodic and continuous use
- The intermittent use of the appliance requires a reload every 45 minutes.
This type of use is particularly recommended as it environmentally friendly.
- The apparatus may also be used in continuous mode when periodic use is not possible or when
reduced burning is required. In this case, maximum heat output can be maintained for 3 hours and
with a slow combustion rate, and a low heat output, the burning period can extend to 10 hours with a
12,5 kg load.
4.4.2.2 Fire duct
- The burning required is obtained by using the control devices (see § 4.3) and selecting a load
matching your needs, i.e.:
. For maximum heating, load the appliance with 3 logs of approx. 10 cm diameter (thermostat at a
maximum pace).
Use this position only temporarily, to heat the rooms following prolonged absence.
. For intermediate heating, use a smaller load : one or two logs (thermostat in position 4 for C07783
and position III for C07753, C07784).
. For a long-lasting heat output with a slow combustion rate, use 1 or 2 non-split logs with a
diameter superior to 16 cm (thermostat in position 0 for C07783 and position I for C07753,
C07784).
- To get a long-lasting combustion rate, reload on a merely burning bed of embers.
- For rapid restarting of the fire, add some kindling wood, load the logs, and only if necessary keep
the door partly open for several minutes, without leaving the appliance unattended. Thereafter,
use the controls as per the instructions (paragraph 4.3). This method gets the fire going quickly
again, especially if the wood is slightly damp.
- Change the burning rate (switching from a slow combustion rate to a normal rate for example)
before reloading, during the combustion stage of the embers, to enable the appliance and smoke
duct to change progressively from one burning rate to another.
- To prevent smoke from driving back and the ash from entering the room, at the time of loading,
opening the door requires a number of precautions:
. Open the door partly, waits for the open door suction to start, and open the door slowly.
- Using the stove in continuous mode and a slow combustion rate, especially in milder temperature
conditions (bad draught) and with wet timber, leads to an incomplete combustion and the formation
of tar and soot deposits :
o
Alternate the slow burning periods with returns to normal burning.
o
Burning small loads is recommended
After the stove has been used in slow combustion mode, the front glass may darken because of a
-
slight soot deposit, this deposit will burn off (by pyrolysis) with the next hot fire (higher combustion
rate).
