HEATING
1. When loading the furnace, lower the kindled pieces of wood and place them at the center of the combustion
chamber before adding new logs.
2. Do not overload. Air must circulate freely in the upper part of the combustion chamber in order to obtain an
efficient operation of the appliance. Please note that a small hot fire will produce much less residues than a large
smouldering one.
IMPORTANT: WHEN RELOADING, PUSH AWAY THE ASHES AND COALS THAT COULD
OBSTRUCT THE HOLES LOCATED BELOW THE DOOR INSIDE THE FURNACE.
EARLY SIGNS OF OVERFIRED FURNACE:
1. Roaring fire.
2. Chimney connector is glowing red.
3. Extreme heat coming from the furnace. If this occurs,
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR
, shut-off the air inlet opening
completely, and wait until the glow has completely subsided.
WOOD AS HEATING FUEL
We recommend that you burn seasoned hard wood only.
There are two important factors to be considered when choosing a type of wood: the moisture content and the
wood density. Hardwood, such as maple, oak and beech will provide better results because of the high density and
minimal tar produced during combustion. It is highly recommended to use wood that has been dried at least six
months.
Do not use coal as heating fuel in this appliance.
PROCEDURE TO OPEN THE LOADING DOOR
TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF SMOKE SPILLAGE, CRACK THE DOOR OPEN 1”
AND WAIT ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE OPENING COMPLETELY.
THE PURPOSE IS TO STABILIZE THE PRESSURE INSIDE THE FURNACE.
ALWAYS KEEP THE DOOR AND THE ASH DRAWER CLOSED
(except for lighting and maintenance).
