USING WOOD>ADDING LOGS
To prevent smoke fumes from entering the room while adding wood
and to ensure a rapid recovery of the hearth, do as follows:
•
Refi ll the appliance only when there is no longer an ember bed.
•
Set the UPPER AIR SUPPLY to maximum
•
Open the door slowly and leave it ajar for 30 seconds. Then open it completely
and place the fresh logs onto the embers.
•
Close the hearth door. While the fi re starts up again, set it to the desired
intensity with the UPPER AIR SUPPLY control (or use the remote control: press
the – button).
USING WOOD>CONTINUOUS FIRE
With quality wood such as oak or very dry beech wood, it is possible to have a fi
re burning continuously for 8-10 hours or even more. To build a slow fi re that can
last a long time while at the same time keeping the window clean:
•
Refi ll the appliance in the manner described above. Do not use round pieces
of wood or logs that have not been split as they risk rolling against the glass
pane and dirtying it.
•
Set the UPPER AIR SUPPLY control to maximum
•
Leave it at maximum until the fi re is burning strongly.
(It is not advised to completely close the air inlet, instead leave it slightly open to
encourage the self-cleaning of the glass pane.)
•
Then lower the intensity to almost minimum
•
In the event that your chimney has a strong draw, it would be necessary to
close the air inlet more than with a chimney with a weak draw. See also the
section on "Setting the minimum air intake", page 106.
