VERY IMPORTANT
As a complement to this document, please read the " INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL FOR CHIMNEYS AND INSERTS" 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, 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 opening.
Never load the appliance with more wood than indicated in the "use advice" (i.e. less than half the combustion chamber height).
The use of non-recommended fuels or fuel not adapted to the appliance, including liquid fuels, is prohibited.
The combustion chamber should always remain closed, except during re-loading and ash removal.
Using the appliance as an incinerator is prohibited.
•
Checks before 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.
Lighting: Place scrunched up paper on the grate (avoid glossy paper) plus some tinder (very dry small branches or thinly chopped wood). Light the
paper, close the appliance door and fully open the air intake. When the paper and tinder are burning, you can load your appliance. The door can be
left partially open to facilitate the lighting phase, in which case the appliance should be kept under surveillance. During the first hours of use, we
recommend a moderate fire to allow the entire appliance to dilate normally.
•
Rated power: it is obtained with a 12 Pa draught, a 3.5 kg load in the form of 2 hard wood quarter logs, renewed every 45 minutes and the firing rate
control slightly open.
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.
•
3 hour slow combustion: this is achieved with a 6 Pa draught and a load of 4.5 kg composed of 1 large diameter (more than 16 cm), hard wood log,
and by completely closing the firing rate control. First set a reduced firing rate by closing the firing rate control and then load on a hardly glowing
bed of embers.
Continuous operation in slow combustion mode, especially when the weather is warming up (unfavourable draught) and using damp wood, results in
incomplete combustion that favours bistre and tar deposits:
•
alternate slow burning periods with rated power periods.
•
prefer using small loads.
Regulation controls:
Systematically use the tool supplied with the appliance to operate the controls which can be very hot.
Firing rate control: Located on the front of the ash pan, this control is used to modulate the appliance firing rate between "Normal rate" (control
open) and "3 hour slow combustion" (control closed).
Lighting control: Using the firing rate control beyond the "normal firing rate" position provides additional air for lighting. This position is
reserved for lighting and re-starting operations and must not be used for more than 30 minutes as this may cause damage to the appliance and its
surroundings. The appliance must be kept under surveillance the entire time this position is used.
