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
(Humidity < 20 %).
-
Hardwood has a higher calorific value per cu metre.
-
Large logs must be split and cut to an useful length,
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.
Warning !
Green wood and recovered wood can cause
a chimney fire.
3.2. Lighting
-
Open the air regulation flap
3
.
-
Open the flue damper and the loading door
4
.
-
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 door.
-
At the first lighting, the fire must be progressively
increased to allow the various parts to expand
normally and to dry up.
-
When the wood is burning correctly, close the flue
damper and close partially the air flap.
Please note :
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.
