INSTRUCTIONS OF USE

3.
If you notice water around the
appliance, this is produced by the
condensation of the moisture in the wood
on lighting the fire. This condensation will
no longer appear when the appliance has
been lit three or four times and has
adapted to its flue. If it does not disappear,
then check the flue draught (length and
diameter of the flue, flue insulation,
airtightness) and the humidity of the wood
used.
3.4.
Safety
Do not store combustible materials
beneath the appliance.
3.5.
Loading fuel
In order to load firewood, open the
firebox door gently, preventing the sudden
entry of air to the firebox so that smoke
does not enter the room that the appliance
is installed in. Perform this operation with
the glove to prevent burns to the hands.
The maximum load height is 2 logs with
diameters of approx. 10 cm.
The minimum interval between loads
for nominal heat output is 60 minutes.
Always load with the nominal amount
(see table in section 1.1).
For minimum burning (e.g. at night), use
thicker logs.
When the firebox is loaded, close the
door.
3.6.
Operation
The appliance should be operated with
the door closed.
For safety reasons, never close all the
appliance’s combustion
-air intakes.
Primary-air intake
By opening this inlet, air enters the
firebox via the firebox grille.
Secondary-air intake
By opening this inlet, air enters the
firebox via the top of the firebox door.
IMPORTANT
: Keeping the secondary-air
intake open helps keep the door glass
cleaner for longer.
Double-combustion air intake
By opening this inlet, air enters the
combustion flame, making for more
efficient and less polluting combustion
because post-combustion takes place,
burning the particles which were not
burned in the first combustion. This
increases the performance of the appliance
and reduces emissions.
IMPORTANT:
The appliance is exposed to
extreme changes in temperature and may,
as a result, make noises when in operation.
These noises are a natural result of
expansion/contraction of the parts which
make up the appliance. Do not be alarmed
by noises of this kind.
In order to obtain maximum output,
open all the air intakes to the firebox and
in order to obtain minimum output, tend
towards closing them. For normal use, we
recommend you close the Primary Intake
and leave the Secondary and Double
Combustion Intakes open.
3.7.
Removing ash
Following
sustained
use
of
the
appliance, it is necessary to remove the ash
from the firebox. Remove the ashpit box
when cold or using something to prevent
yourself from getting burned (glove).
Never throw hot embers into the
rubbish.
Access the ashpit by opening the door
on the appliance.
