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:
During the combustion phase of the volatile part of the wood , it is essential to avoid operation without full fire, failing
which the appliance and the chimney flue will be soiled and effluents harmful to the environment and health will be
released into the atmosphere.

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" (10%
open position) and "slow combustion" (closed position).
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.
Chimney damper: Its control is located over the door. It is always closed unless the draught is too weak. Always open it before opening the
insert door (back draught risk).
CARE ADVICE
After long idle periods, check that the flue is not obstructed before lighting.
When having the chimney swept, have the appliance checked by a qualified technician who will:
fully clean the appliance, check the connections of the different parts and the deflector position which is sloped and rests on the throat at the top and
is held down at the back.
if necessary, replace worn parts (door seal in particular)
SAFETY
When in use, all the appliance surfaces are hot: Beware of burns!! Avoid installing the appliance in a location where there is a lot of passage.
If a chimney fire were to break out, first close the loading door, then the primary and secondary air intakes, then immediately contact your
local fire & rescue services (In the UK, dial 999).
Never load the appliance with more wood than indicated in the "use advice" (i.e. less than half the combustion chamber height). Using the
appliance as an incinerator is prohibited.
The use of non-recommended fuels or fuel not adapted to it, including liquid fuels, is prohibited.
The combustion chamber should always remain closed, except during re-loading. Do not overheat the appliance.
