Wood Stove insert 700 GA
model 967444
VERY IMPORTANT
In addition to this manual, take care to read the “
INSTALLATION AND USAGE GUIDE FOR WOOD BURNING STOVES
” supplied with the
appliance.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
The atmospheric depression in the flue must be between
6 and 12 Pascals.
This can be measured with a manometer when the stove is in operation.
An
air modulator is usually needed to set the airflow to recommended values.
USAGE GUIDELINES
Use only recommended fuel: Dry wood (humidity less than 20 %), no less than 2 years old since felling (Beech, Hornbeam, 5 years for Oak – Pine and
other resinous woods are not appropriate).
The ash pan should remain in the stove except during cleaning and maintenance. Open and close the door with the heat resistant glove.
It may be necessary to stop the airflow ventilator to avoid smoke coming into the room when the door is opened.
Checks before first use
At first, your stove may give off a smell of paint. To avoid inhaling fumes, the stove should be used for the first time in a well-ventilated room or
outdoors.
Turning on:
Place some crumpled paper (or 1 or 2 fire-lighters) and some dry twigs, small branches or finely cut wood (tinder) on the hearth grid.
Light the tinder, close the hearth door and open the ventilator fully when the tinder is fully lit, load in the wood. It is possible if under supervision,
to leave the hearth door open slightly while lighting. It is recommended to use the stove at low heat initially to allow its components to dilate
naturally.
Non-continuous use or use of a long period (3 hours):
Non-continuous use requires reloading small quantities of wood every 45 minutes. We recommend normal output which is quite efficient and
better for the environment.
Run at lower output to heat for longer periods without having to feed the fire,
Normal output
:
Can be obtained:
o
with a load of 2.4 kg in the form of two hardwood half-logs of (one split log)
o
Airflow: 12 Pa
o
Reload every 30 to 45 minutes on a 3cm bed of embers
o
by setting the output regulator to the “normal output” position
o
By setting the nozzle shutter to the “closed” position.
Actual output may be lower than expected if the fire is improperly built or using wood that is too hard or too damp. If the wood does not burn well
or does not stay in contact with the embers, the flame will die down, there will be fewer embers, and the combustion chamber will cool down. Heat
output and performance will be reduced.
To avoid this, open the hearth door carefully and
rearrange the logs on the embers with a poker. Take care not to allow any embers to fall
out.
Close the hearth door. The fire will build again once the door is closed.
Three-hour slow combustion
Can be obtained:
o
Triple the wood load at normal output using 1 or 2 large-diameter hardwood logs.
o
Airflow: 6 Pa
o
Position the output regulator to “usage for a long period” once the initial load is fully lit.
o
By setting the nozzle shutter to the “closed” position.
o
Let the fire burn until the ember layer is reduced, so any new load of wood lights properly.
This will allow the wood to burn slowly for up to 3 hours without reloading.
