-
Slide the air control (# B and C).
-
Open the front door and lay firelighters or rolled up
newspapers on the grate with a reasonable quantity, if
necessary, of dry kindling wood. Place 2 or 3 small
logs on top.
-
Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper
and close the front door.
-
When the fire is burning fiercely, add further logs of a
diameter up to 10 cm.
-
When the stove body is very hot, close the lower air
control (# C).
-
The burning rate can now be adjusted by moving the
top air control to the left (# B).
Experience will show you which settings are best for
your situation.
3.3 Operating procedure
The appliance must function with the door properly
closed
, the burning rate being controlled in using the
secondary air regulation flap (rep. B).
Experience will show you which settings are best for
your situation.
The airwash system works with the top airslide. When
the top airslide is full open the system works at its
strongest efficiency.
The more closed down the airslide is, the less effective
the airwash will be (when shut down completely, the
airwash system can not function).
•
Loading the fuel
-
The door should be opened slowly, avoiding a sudden
rush of intake air, so that smoke does not escape into
the room.
-
The logs must be placed on the glowing embers.
-
For a briskly burning fire, there should always be at
least two logs in the fire. The fire will burn better if
there are several logs.
-
For a slower burning fire (for example, at night), select
larger logs.
-
After loading the firebox, close the main door (rep. A,
figure
7
, page 7).
3.4 De-ashing
-
Ashes must be removed regularly.
-
Ashes must never be allowed to pile up to the grate.
The grate would not be cool down and could rapidly be
damaged.
-
Empty the ashes when the appliance is cold.
-
Remove the ash drawer using the tool provided.
-
Empty the ashes carefully with regard to the live
embers.
