3.1 (lighting the stove) .Light the fuel and close the loading door. Wait
for
embers to form. When the stove has started to burn well, load 2 logs
and
place the controls on the "nominal burning speed" position (Table 3.1)
. It
is better to load the stove in several goes rather than too much at once.
On lighting the stove, a "thermal plug" may form in the smoke flue. The
latter must be heated up gradually before obtaining a normal draught.
3.4.2. Reloading
Reload the stove when there is a just bed of embers and the flames
have died
down. Open the door slowly (with the glove) so as to avoid smoke
billowing into the room or embers falling out. Open the draught adapter
(optional). Reload and close the door again. It is preferable to load in
several goes rather than too much one at once. Place the wood towards
the back of the stovebox, to avoid embers falling out. 2 firewood logs
(about 1,5 kg per hour) are enough to reach normal burning speed.
3.5. NOMINAL SPEED
Set the controls as indicated in table 3.1. The quantity of fuel deter-
mines the intensity of the stove. The correct operation of the stove
depends on a sufficient supply of fresh air. To reduce maintenance, use
the stove at nominal speed whenever possible.
3.6. LOADING THE STOVE
Load in several goes rather than too much one at once. Place the wood
towards the back of the stovebox, to avoid embers falling out. 2 firewood
logs (about 2.5 kg per hour) are enough to reach normal burning speed.
3.7. SLOW BURNING SPEED
Spread the embers evenly, load 2 or 3 logs, let the stove start to burn,
then close all the controls so that the logs are consumed slowly. The
length of time the stove lasts will depend on the quality of the wood and
the draught. If possible, keep the glass air control open. After using the
stove on slow burning speed, make a strong fire to heat up the flue and
dry out the condensa¬tion caused by the slow combustion.
3.8. INTERMEDIATE SEASON
Avoid using the stove on slow burning speed for long periods. The
temperature of the smoke is not high enough, and the latter cannot be
evacuated before it condenses in the flue. More creosote will then build
up in the flue and the appliance itself (inner walls, glass).
3.9. IN CASE OF AN INCIDENT
In the event of an incident in the house (chimney fire, a fire starting in
the
house, very high winds,…), quickly close the loading door and close
all the
controls on the stove. Do not pour water on the firebox. Call the fire
service.
