3. Operating instructions
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 use the oven in mild weather
: Under certain
circumstances (e.g. fog and repeated thaw) the
chimney will not draw sufficiently well
and thus be at the origin of asphyxia.
Awaiting
better
weather
circumstances, don’t use any coal
but only wood.
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 operation.
Similarly, the window can become
cloudy by the evaporation of the
water in the refractory bricks. It is
advisable with any new cast iron
stove to avoid having too intense a
fire in the stove for its first few days of
use. The Parisienne is a quality
product which, if used sensibly will
give many years of trouble free
operation, the following advice is
intended to help you enjoy those
years without problems.
3.1. Fuel
This appliance is not an
incinerator.
•
Recommended fuel :
The best fuels for use with the
Franco Belge Parisienne are :
Sunbrite (Small) - Anthracite
(Medium)
Dry Woo. - 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.).
•
Prohibited fuel :
Any form of bituminous coal or
petroleum based coke.
“green wood”. Green or damp wood
reduces stove efficiency and makes
the window, the internal walls and the
flue dirty (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.
