The operating tool should be used to move the lids, open the door lock-nut, adjust the air-
intake and remove the ashtray.
Keep children and frail people away from the operating unit in order to minimise any risk of
injury.
AIR RENEWAL
The heater uses the air in the room in which it is installed. It is important that this air can
replenish itself in sufficient quantities.
Some of the air is taken in as primary air for combustion and some of it is directed as
“secondary” air in order to augment the combustion and to reduce the deposit of residues
on the glass.
The air that is used for combustion should be compensated for by allowing an intake (air-
vent) of fresh, external air into the room.
LIGHTING AND REGULATION
Open the door – make sure the unit is clean.
Ensure that the shaking grate and front retaining grate are properly in position.
Using usual firelighting material (kindling, firestarters) and a small load of firewood, light the
fire through the front grate. The air intake can be fully open.
Never use fuel or alcohol to light the fire.
When the fire is burning properly, the desired quantity of firewood/ anthracite can be
loaded and the air intake can be suitably reduced.
In cases where there have been extensive wet-works in the installation of the heater these
should be allowed to dry for 4 weeks. This will enable moisture in the possible brickwork
or stonework to evaporate.
To enable proper drying of the building works (after the 4 week period) small, moderate
fires should be lit for the first 10 days. The air register should not be opened fully during this
period in order to keep the fire intensity low.
Air Intake Adjustment:
The operating tool should be used to adjust the air intake valve.
The air intake adjustment is the Spindle on the central front of the door – this air valve is rotated to
adjust the burning rate:
1.
½ turn to 1 turn open is slow.
2.
2 to 3 turns open is moderate to fast.
3.
3 turns and more is fast to very fast.
The unit is sensitive to adjustment of the air control.
