Operation N°1 :
- Push the Air inlet damper's operating knob to the end point corresponding to the locked
"Lighting Position".
Operation N°2 :
- Lift the unlocking index located to the right of the adjustment damper.
Operation N°3 :
-
Hold the index in high position with the right hand and push the operating knob to the right with
the left hand : you are in "Lighting Position".
After lighting the appliance, to return to normal, intermediate or reduced burning position (see Fig. 3),
use the poker to push the air damper operating knob as it may be hot.
4.4 USE
4.4.1 Lighting
- Open the air damper to lighting position (Fig. 3).
- 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
9 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 (air damper open)
(Fig. 3).
Use this position only temporarily, to heat the rooms following prolonged absence.
. For intermediate heating, use a smaller load : one or two logs (air damper half-open) (Fig. 3).
. For a long-lasting heat output with a slow combustion rate, use 1 or 2 non-split logs with a diameter
superior to 15 cm (air damper closed) (Fig. 3).
- 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.
