INSTRUCTIONS OF USE 13
3.
no longer appear when the appliance has
been lit three or four times and has
adapted to its flue. If it does not disappear,
then check the flue draught (length and
diameter of the flue, flue insulation,
airtightness) and the humidity of the wood
used.
3.4. Safety
Do not store combustible materials
beneath the appliance.
3.5. Loading fuel
In order to load firewood, open the
firebox door gently, preventing the sudden
entry of air to the firebox so that smoke
does not enter the room that the appliance
is installed in.
Perform this operation with the glove to
prevent burns to the hands.
The maximum load height is 2 logs with
diameters of approx. 10 cm.
The minimum interval between loads
for nominal heat output is 60 minutes.
Always load with the nominal amount
(see table in section 1.1).
For minimum burning (e.g. at night), use
thicker logs.
When the firebox is loaded, close the
door.
Be careful when placing logs in the firebox
on appliances with vermiculite interiors.
Vermiculite is a fragile material and may
crack if knocked.
3.6. Operation
The appliance should be operated with
the door closed.
For safety reasons, never close all the
appliance’s combustion-air intakes.
Primary-air intake
By opening this inlet, air enters the
firebox via the firebox grille.
Secondary-air intake
By opening this inlet, air enters the
firebox via the top of the firebox door.
IMPORTANT: Keeping the secondary-air
intake open helps keep the door glass
cleaner for longer.
Double-combustion air intake
Air enters the combustion flame,
making for more efficient and less polluting
combustion because post-combustion
takes place, burning the particles which
were not burned in the first combustion.
This increases the performance of the
appliance and reduces emissions.
The double-combustion air intake is not
adjustable, it is always open.
IMPORTANT: The appliance is exposed to
extreme changes in temperature and may,
as a result, make noises when in operation.
These noises are a natural result of
expansion/contraction of the parts which
make up the appliance. Do not be alarmed
by noises of this kind.
In order to obtain maximum output,
open all the air intakes to the firebox and
in order to obtain minimum output, tend
towards closing them. For normal use, we
recommend you close the Primary Intake
and leave the Secondary 20% open.
