4 - USING THE STOVE
Once your stove has been installed and connected to the chimney, you are ready to light the fire. Although
your stove is easy to use, the combustion process of solid fuels is complicated, as it involvesseveral factors
and it takes time and experience to understand the process.
Before lighting your stove for the first time, please take time to become familiar with the different control
systems and parts of the unit, how to choose the wood, how to light it and use it on a daily basis.
ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND that the stove generates heat and, therefore, keep children, clothing, furniture... at
a distance to prevent burns from direct contact with the appliance.
Below, we have included some advice on your stove and on its use. Please read with care.
Door handle
To open the door, turn the handle upward to the open
position, and gently pull. Use the cold handle if the stove is
hot.
The door can open up to 180º
To close, turn the knob to the open position, close the door,
press slightly and turn the handle gently down to the closed
position (Fig. 3).
Valve for firing and for regulating
coal
Open the firing valve to its fullest extent
when lighting the stove, pulling it gently
towards the exterior (Fig. 3).
When burning firewood it is advisable
to close it completely once the fire has
been lit.
This valve is normally used for
regulating the coal combustion.
Primary air valve - Glass cleaning
Open the valve to its fullest extent when lighting
the stove, turning it to the right.
Once optimum combustion has been achieved, regulate the valve to
prevent too much air
entering, and combustion and too high temperatures.
An intermediate position is generally best, but this also depends on the quality and the draught of the
chimney installed and the fuel type used (hard or soft wood) (Fig. 3)
Secondary Air
The entry of secondary air through the holes on the rear side optimises combustion and regulates
automatically depending on the behaviour or the combustion.
Grate shaker
When coal is used as a fuel it is advisable to eliminate the agglutination of live coals that tends to occur at
the base.
The tool for shaking the grate is a rod with a slot to the right of
the mouth of the housing of the ash box.
To move this tool always use the cold handle for opening in the
position shown in Figure 4.
Push inwards and extract outwards several times in a to and fro
movement to make the slats turn.
Finally leave the slats in the closed position with the rod facing
outwards and extract the cold handle.
Place the cold handle in vertical position with the stop rod
downwards (Fig.5) enables shaking the grate, but the stopper
limits the movement and prevents it from opening completely. This
also avoids pieces of coal clogging the movement of the grate.
