VERY IMPORTANT
As a complement to this document, please read the "INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL FOR WOOD BURNERS" supplied with the appliance
carefully.
INSTALLATION ADVICE
The depression in the flue must be between 6 and 12 Pascals. This value can be checked when heating using a pressure gauge. A draught moderator is
almost always needed to regulate the draught to the recommended values.
USE ADVICE
Only use recommended fuels: Dry wood (moisture less than 20%) cut at least 2 years previously (Ash, hornbeam, 5 years for oak - pine and resinous
woods are prohibited).
The ash pan must remain permanently in the appliance except when being emptied. Use the heat-resistant glove to open and close the door. It may be
necessary to stop the mechanical ventilation extractor to prevent smoke blowing back into the room when the door is opened.
Commissioning.
The first few times the appliance is used, there will be an odour of paint: ventilate the room to limit this inconvenience or carry out a first burn
outside the house before installing.
During the first hours of use, we recommend a moderate fire to allow the entire appliance to dilate normally.
Lighting:
Place scrunched up paper on the grate (or 1 or 2 pieces of fire-lighter) plus about 3 kg of tinder (very dry small branches or thinly chopped wood).
Light the load, close the appliance door and fully open the air intake. When the wood is in flames, you can load your appliance and begin reducing
the air intake, making sure:
•
That the reduced air does not put out the flames. If this were the case, re-open the air intake for a little longer.
•
That the firing up of the load is not too intense (with most flames reaching the top of the combustion chamber). If this were the case, reduce
the air intake.
The door can be left partially open to facilitate the lighting phase, in which case the appliance should be kept under surveillance.
"Rated power" and "extended combustion" operation:
"Rated power'' use requires re-loading every 30 to 45 minutes using small amounts of wood. This especially efficient and environmentally friendly
operating mode should be preferred.
The appliance can also be operated using "extended combustion" when reduced power and longer autonomy are needed.
Rated power:
This can be obtained:
with a 1.5 kg load of wood in the form of 2 hard wood half logs (= one split log)
o
with a 12Pa draught
o
load renewed every 30 to 45 minutes on a bed of embers approximately 3 cm thick
o
o
by putting the firing rate control in the "Rated power" position".
Activity may be reduced as a result of unfavourable combustion conditions, unsuitable log shapes or the use of hard or damp wood. These
slowing phenomena, which are neither exceptional nor totally foreseeable, result in a reduction of the flames (the fuel forms an arch and is
no longer in contact with the embers), the gradual loss of the stock of embers and the cooling of the insert. They are accompanied by a loss
of power and efficiency.
To avoid this: carefully open the insert door, rearrange the load on the bed of embers using a poker to move the fuel taking care not to
allow any embers to fall from the fire box, then close the door. Activity resumes as soon as the door is closed.
Extended combustion
This can be obtained:
with a 6 to 7 kg load composed of 1 to 2 large diameter, non-hard, split logs.
o
with a 6 Pa draught.
o
by putting the "firing rate" control in the "Extended combustion" position, after having guaranteed and maintained the firing of the
o
load.
by letting combustion continue until a reduced bed of embers is obtained designed to guarantee the lighting of a new load.
o
This operating mode makes it possible to have reduced power and a 8 hour autonomy without reloading.
Whatever the operating mode used (Rated power or Slow combustion), make sure each load of wood lights as soon as it is
placed in the appliance and that it continues to burn. If this does not happen, open the "firing rate" control to the
"lighting" position for a few moments until the wood lights properly:
