Instructions for the user
The manufacturer will be not responsible for damages on parts of the appliance due to the use of
prohibited fuel or due to an alteration of the appliance or its installation.
Only use replacement parts supplied by the manufacturer
All the local and national regulations, and in particular those relating to national and
European standards, must be observed when using the appliance.
Don’t run the stove in mild weather with coal! Under certain circumstances (e.g. fog and repeated
thaw) the chimney will not draw sufficiently well and thus be at the origin of asphyxia.
Fuel
This appliance is not an incinerator
Recommanded fuel : Wood
-
Use hard wood logs, which have been cut for at least two years and
stored, under shelter.
-
Hardwood has a higher calorific value per cu metre (oak, ash, maple,
birch, elm, beech, etc.). Large logs must be split and cut to a usable
length, before being stored in a sheltered and ventilated place.
Not recommended as fuel
-
“Green wood”. Green or damp wood reduces stove efficiency and soils the glass, the
internal walls and the flue (soot, tar, etc.).
-
“Used timbers”. Burning treated wood (railway sleepers, telegraph poles, offcuts of
plywood or chip board, pallets, etc.) quickly clogs the flue ways (soot, tar, etc.), pollutes the
environment (pollution and smell, etc.) and cause the fire to burn too quickly and overheat.
-
“Green wood” and “recovered wood” can eventually cause a chimney fire.
Prohibited fuel
Homefire and any form of bituminous coal or petroleum based coke are prohibited.
Lighting
a)
Set the controller to position 1.
b) Open the front door.
c) Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate with a
reasonable quantity, if necessary, of dry kindling wood.
d) Open the front door and place 2 or 3 small logs on top.
e)
Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper and close the door and open the air.
Note
When the fire is lit for the first time, the stove may give off fumes from the new paint.
This is normal but ensure the room is well ventilated during the first few hours of operation.
To avoid darkening windows at the starting up, we recommend gathering kindling wood in the
center of the fireplace under the grid.
