3. Instructions for user
The manufacturer will not be responsible for damages
o
n parts of the appliance due to the use of prohibited
fuel or due to an alteration of the appliance or its
installation.
Only use replacement parts supplied by the
manufacturer.
All the local and national regulations, and in
particular those relating to national and European
standards, must be observed when using the
appliance.
Don’t run the stove in mild weather with coal : Under
certain circumstances (e.g. fog and repeated thaw)
the chimney will not draw sufficiently well and thus
be at the origin of asphyxia.
Awaiting better weather circumstances, don’t use
any coal but only wood.
At the first lighting, the fire must be progressively
increased to allow the various parts to expand normally
and to dry up.
Note
: When the fire is lit for the first time, the stove may
give off fumes from the new paint. This is normal but
ensure the room is well ventilated during the first few
hours of operation.
Warning :
properly installed and operated this
appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may
occur. Persistent fume emission is dangerous and must
not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist :
Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
Let the fire out and dispose of fuel from the appliance.
Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if
required.
Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the
fume emission has been identified and corrected. If
necessary seek expert advice.
Note
: It is recommended to use a fireguard in the
presence of children, and also in the presence of old
and/or infirm people.
3.1. Fuel
This appliance is not an incinerator.
Recommended fuel : Wood
Use hard wood logs, which have been cut for at least
two years and stored, under shelter.
Hardwood has a higher calorific value per cu metre
(oak, ash, maple, birch, elm, beech, etc.).
Large logs must be split and cut to a usable length,
before being stored in a sheltered and ventilated place.
Recommended fuel : Coal
Smokeless fuels, including coolite nuts, phurnacite,
ancit and extracite.
Not recommended as fuel
:
“green wood”. Green or damp wood reduces stove
efficiency and soils the glass, the internal walls and the
flue (soot, tar, etc.).
“used timbers”. Burning treated wood (railway
sleepers, telegraph poles, offcuts of plywood or chip
board, pallets, etc.) quickly clogs the flue ways
(soot,
tar, etc.), pollutes the environment (pollution and smell,
etc.) and cause the fire to burn too quickly and
overheat.
“Green wood” and “recovered wood” can eventually
cause a chimney fire.
Prohibited fuel :
any form of housecoal (bituminous
coal) or petroleum based coke.
