Lighting the stove
SECTION FOR USERS
Open the oven door and pull the direct outlet control ring on the front towards you (you
will notice that this ring itself holds the door slightly ajar if it is unscrewed one quarter
turn, the burner resting on the front).
Open the air control lever fully by adjusting the adjustment lever in position "4".
Place crumpled paper and kindling intertwined in the firebox grate, without packing it
down. Lift the whole lot slightly and light the paper using a match then cover with a thin
layer of coal or logs. Close the loading hatch or the fire plate.
As soon as the fuel is well lit, load the firebox, push the direct outlet ring back in, adjust
the air control lever to the desired level (low for the first operation).
Loading the firebox 3/4 full provides, depending on the fuel used, the operating times spe-
cified in the table under OPERATIONAL FEATURES.
To run the stove on coal, close the secondary air inlet damper by pulling it towards the
front of the appliance.
To run the stove on wood, open the secondary air inlet damper by pushing it towards the
back of the appliance. You can then use 50 cm logs.
Once the cleaning and loading have been done, the loading doors and hatches must always
remain firmly closed.
If you leave the firebox or ash pan door open, you risk burning at abnormal speeds which
may have serious detrimental effects.
Wait until the remaining embers are just glowing before loading.
Load the firebox three quarters full.
Adjust the air control lever to between 0 and 1 according to the chimney draught.
To resume burning in the morning, open the air control lever fully. De-ash after several
minutes and reload. Do not forget to put the air control lever back to the appropriate level
for the desired output.
