THE DOOR MUST BE OPENED USING THE COLD HAND PROVIDED WITH THE APPLI-
ANCE. BY OPENING SLOWLY, YOU WILL AVOID FUME BACKDRAFTS CAUSED BY THE
DRAUGHT, AS WELL AS POTENTIAL EMBER FALL.
2.5. RELOADING
Open the door slowly (in 2 steps). Slowly add the wood load on the bed of embers.
Close the door. A load of dry fire wood must never be excessive.
The next reloading must not be made less than 3 hours after the previous one. Opti-
mum efficiency is reached with dry wood (less than 20% humidity) of maximum diame-
ter 10 to 15 cm.
For good operation, splitting the wood load must be avoided. It is preferable to
place a full load and allow more time between loads.
2.6. POWER LEVEL SETTING
The air damper at the bottom of the appliance serves to
regulate the operating speed of the firebox, within a
range of speeds between reduced speed and normal
speed. The adjustment is done by positioning the
damper: Ignition position 1 (damper out), Normal
speed : position 2 (half damper)
OPEN FIREBOX OPERATION
2.7. CHOICE OF FUEL
The performance levels announced by the manufacturer are achieved in conditions de-
fined by the current standard, and using dry fire wood (beech, hornbeam,…). Only com-
pressed lignite briquettes may be used as a substitute.
The wood you use must be dry i.e. its humidity rate must be lower than 20 %. In order
to obtain combustible wood, it is therefore essential to use it at the earliest 18 months
after felling and cutting, including 6 months of storage under ventilated shelter.
Wood that is too fresh will lead to bad combustion which causes rapid bistrage of the
chimney flue. Wet wood does not heat. The energy that the wood contains will be used
up to evaporate its excess humidity, and hence lost for the user.
The calorific potential of wood doubles depending on whether it is wet or dry. Outside
this energy consideration, the use of non-conditioned wood as fuel (green or wet)
causes many disturbances : fume backdrafts, glass blackening, duct bistre deposit (risk
of chimney fire).
NEVER EXCESSIVELY LOAD THE FIREBOX WITH FUEL.
IN NORMAL REGIME, THE RELEASED HEAT ALSO DEPENDS ON THE QUALITY
AND QUANTITY OF WOOD USED.
NEVER LEAVE THE DOOR AJAR TO OBTAIN A REGIME SUPERIOR TO THE ONE
THE APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR.
The efficiency is less important. If left unattended, even momentarily or during the
night, operate solely with the firebox door closed.
