3 Instructions for user
The manufacturer will not be 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.
3.1 Fuel
This appliance is not an incinerator.
Use hard wood logs, which have been cut for at least
two years and stored, under a ventilated shelter.
Use hardwood that have a higher calorific value per cu
metre (Yoke-elm, oak, ash, maple, birch, elm, beech,
etc.). Large logs must be split and cut to an useful
length (50 cm), before being stored in a sheltered and
ventilated place.
•
Recommended fuel
Firewood :
Hornbeam
•
Suitable fuel
Firewood : Oak, ash, maple, birch, elm, beech, etc.
•
Prohibited fuel
Any form of coal and flued oil !
“Green wood”. Green or damp wood reduces the
appliance efficiency and soils the glass, the internal
walls and the flue (soot, tar, etc.).
“Recovered wood”. Railway sleepers, telegraph poles,
offcuts of plywood or chip board, pallets, etc. Burning
treated wood 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.
F
Green wood and recovered wood can cause a chim-
ney fire.
3.2 Lighting
Figure 5
-
Open the air regulation flap (rep. B1)
-
Open the main doors.
-
Place on the grate on scrunched up paper, some
brushwood and some hardwood of small diameter,
-
Set light to the paper and close the glass doors.
-
When the wood is well lit partially, load the appliance
without excess and close the main doors (rep. A).
At the first lighting, the fire must be progressively
increased to allow the various parts to expand normally
and to dry up.
When the fire is lit for the first time, the appliance may
give off fumes from the new paint. This is normal but
ensure the room is well ventilated during the first few
hours operation.
