•
Adjust the speed changes (going from a normal
speed to a slower speed for example) before
loadings in the embers'combustion stage, to let the
appliance and the smokes' flue progressively
change speed.
•
In order to avoid smoke blowing back and falling
down of the ashes in the room when you reload, the
opening of the door needs to take a few
precautions :
- Stop the ventilation in order to avoid vacuuming
the ashes that might fall before the appliance
- Open slightly the door, pause for a moment to
start the draught corresponding to the running with
a open door, then slowly open the door.
•
The continuous running with a slow speed,
especially in milder weather (unfavourable draught)
and with humid wood, leads to an incomplete
burning which favour bistre and tar deposits:
Alternate slow speeds with some returns to

After a running with a slow speed, the window can
get dark because of a slight bistre. This deposit

The combustion chamber must be always closed
except when reloading in order to avoid any excess
of smoke.
6.4.3 - Ash removal

The air used for the combustion of wood comes
from under the grate when the air intake damper is
open. This air also ensures the cooling of the grate.

performances and to avoid damage of the grate
under the the effect of overheating, it is also
necessary to avoid its obstruction in proceeding in
regular ash removal and the clearing of the ashes.
- The scraper allows to make the ash removal of
the grate (Fig. 1).
- The ashtray- fixed under the grid - is easily
removable by pulling it out thanks to the cold
hand.
•
The level of the ashes must never reach the cast
iron grate of the appliance.
6.4.4 - Safety regulations
•
Never throw water to put the fire out.
•
The window of the appliance is very hot : be careful
you don't get burnt notably children.
•
The appliance gives out important heat through
radiation : don't put materials nor heat-sensitive
objects within a distance inferior of 1,50 m to the
window.
•
Empty the content of the ash pan in a metallic or
inflammable container kept for this use only. The
ashes which look like cold can actually be very hot,
even after some cooling time.

•
Don't place easily inflammable materials in the
environment of the appliance and in the place
where you store wood.
•
Particularly, don't store wood under the appliance
•
In case of a chimney fire, put the air intake damper
in a closed position.
6.4.5 - Blower
- Use (Fig. 21) :
Choose a ventilation speed :
Let the appliance heat.
Choose the automatic running (A) or manual (M) with
the selector 14.
In M position : forced on and off of the vent. This
position allows a immediate starting of the blower and
asks for a manual stop.
In A position : automatic working of the vent quand
when the appliance is completely hot, generally in the
hour that follows the lighting. Its running is stopped
the appliance is cold, generally at the extinction of the
fire.
To enjoy both the immediate starting and the automatic
stop, use the M position at the ligting stage, then
change to A position once the appliance is hot. It will
stop automatically in that case.
7 - ADVICE ON CHIMNEY-SWEEPING AND
STOVE AND SMOKE FLUE MAINTENANCE
7.1 - Sweeping:
The mecanical sweeping of the smoke flue is
optimal
compulsory, it has to be made a few times a year and
one sweeping has to done during the heating period. A
certificate has to be established by the professional.
For sweepings, you'll need to:
•
Remove the deflector (Fig.23) :
- Dismantle the deflector
if forward.
- Let the back part of the du deflector
and take it out.
- To put the deflector back: proceed in the reverse
way of the dismantling.
•
Check thoroughly the condition of the appliance
paying
elements : seals and locking components, support
parts (door, frame).
•
Check the condition of the smoke flue and the
connecting pipe : all the connections must show
good mecanical holding and must have kept their
smoke-tight features.
•
Vacuum the inside of the hood to avoid any
accumulation of dust ; clear if necessary the hot air
convection route..
