SELF-CLEANING OF THE WINDOW
Your appliance is equipped with an integrated glass pane cleaning system (“Airwash”) which uses hot air to
minimalize the marks on the glass pane. If you use a dry fuel, a large part of the tar deposited on the window will
burn and disappear when the appliance is running at a high temperature.
If marks appear on the glass pane (after a long, slow burning fi re for example), follow this procedure to quickly
clean the glass pane:
•
Set the UPPER AIR SUPPLY control to maximum.
•
Set the LOWER AIR SUPPLY control to a quarter open. This setting
allows a little air to enter under the fi re as well as the usual preheated
air used for wood combustion.
•
Once the majority of the marks have disappeared, reset the controls to their original positions.
SETTING THE MINIMUM AIR INTAKE
The minimal setting is found to the right of the control buttons.
It allows you to increase, decrease or completely close the
minimum air inlet when burning a slow fi re in the appliance.
Adjust it in accordance with the pull of your chimney if
necessary.
The minimum setting screw is situated behind the control
panel.
Using a cross-headed screwdriver, tighten the regulating
screw clockwise) to decrease or to completely close the
minimum air intake.
Turn it anti-clockwise to increase the minimum air intake.
EMPTYING THE ASHTRAY
To avoid an overfl ow of ashes, empty the ashtray
regularly. However, a fi ne layer of ash on the grate helps
the combustion of the wood and retains heat.
It is advisable to empty the ashtray when the appliance is
not in use. To remove the ashes, drop them from the
hearth into the ashtray through the grate with the tool
provided.
WARNING: THE ASHTRAY MAY BE HOT. USE HEAT RESISTANT GLOVES.
•
Open the little door and the door to have access to the ashtray.
•
Using the tool provided, put it in the hole in the ashtray intended for it.
•
Pull the ashtray out from its holding.
•
Empty the ashtray and put it back in its holding.
•
Place the ashes in a metal container. The container must be placed on a non-fl ammable fl oor, and far
from any fl ammable materials. Wait until the ashes are cold before throwing them out.
