LIGHTING
Now that you have completed the installation of the appliance according to the
recommendations, you are ready for the lighting!
1.
Place papers and small wood in the appliance.
2.
Before lighting, be sure that the chimney is warm enough.
3.
When the fire is well lit, gradually add bigger wood logs until an ember bed is
formed.
4.
You can then control combustion by closing or opening the air intakes (a rod
pulled down indicates a closed air intake). The wood will burn more quickly if the
air intakes are opened to the maximum and more slowly if they are only slightly
open.
Do not charge the appliance beyond the bricks
.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES AND MAINTENANCE
We recommend to open the air intakes completely and to maintain an intense fire from 10
to 20 minutes per day.
Verify the accumulation of creosote every week that you use the appliance until you
know at which frequency it must be cleaned (minimum once per year). Remove every
creosote deposit in order to prevent chimney fires.
The cleaning of the heat exchanger, of the chimney flue pipe and of the pulling fan, if
necessary, is particularly important at the end of each winter season in order to reduce the
corrosion made during the summer months and caused by the accumulation of ashes
(they must always be in good condition.) To clean the heat exchanger, remove the top
bricks, clean them and then replace the bricks at their place. Do not remove the stainless
steel pipes.
Do not alter or modify the air intakes of the appliance in order to get a stronger fire.
To clean the glasses, J.A. Roby Inc. recommends using products sold for this purpose or
an oven cleaner. Avoid cleaning with abrasives or when the glass is hot.
The Mystere wood appliance is provided with an ashtray under the door. To empty it,
remove the steel cap (in the middle of the appliance) and glide the ashes into the ashtray.
Do not forget to replace the steel cap.
