HOW TO PREVENT OVERHEATING
Overheating means that the stove reaches a
temperature that is higher than that usually
achieved during the fast combustion rate
described in the previous COMBUSTION RATE
section.
Take care to avoid excessive overheating, as this
will damage the stove. The symptoms of frequent
overheating will be deformed components, short
combustion times, "snoring" noise in the stove
or chimney and discolouration of the chimney
flue. A correctly installed stove that uses the
recommended fuel and is operated as described in
this manual should not overheat.
Excessive draw, inappropriate fuel and mistakes
when using the stove may lead to excessive
combustion rates. Correct an overheating situation
as follows:
• EXCESSIVE DRAFT: Contact your local dealer
to take a reading of the draw. Any draw that
exceed 25 Pa shot requires a valve in the
chimney flue. Some installations may require
more than one valve.
• INAPPROPRIATE FUEL: Do not burn coal, kiln
dried wood, wax logs or other wood that is not
natural.
• INCORRECT USE: Check that all ceramic
seals are in good condition. Replace worn or
compressed seals. Do not use the stove with
the front door or the ash pan door fully or
partially open.
If you suspect that your stove is overheating, stop
using it and contact your dealer immediately.
Damage caused by excessive overheating is not
covered by the warranty. The consequences of
excessive overheating may include warped or
burned internal parts, cracked refractory panels,
discoloured or warped external parts, and damaged
enamel finish.
OVERHEATING SYMPTOMS WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY!
REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF ASH
Remove the ash only when the stove is cold. If
the ash is hot, use the protective gloves provided.
Use extreme caution when handling, storing or
disposing of ashes.
The ash pan is located behind the ash pan door
in the lower front section of the stove. The ash
pan collects the ash produced by the combustion
process and allows us to remove the ash from the
stove easily. Clean the ash from the combustion
chamber and do not let it build up too much. If
you prefer, you can leave a thin layer of ash in the
combustion chamber. It is important to prevent the
ash from accumulating around the opening of the
front door as it may fall out or become compact in
the seal channel, preventing the correct sealing of
the door. To remove the ash, sift it through grate.
The ash pan is very easy to remove to dispose of the
ash comfortably. Pour the ask directly into a metal
container with an airtight lid. Do not place any
other item or waste in the metal container. Do not
pour water into the container. Cover the container
and let the ash cool. Never place the ash container
on a combustible surface or vinyl flooring, as the
container may be very hot.
Pending disposal, place the closed ash container on
a non-combustible floor or on the ground outside,
away from all combustible materials, flammable
liquids or vehicles. Store ash in the closed container
until all the embers are completely cool.
If the ash is to be disposed by burying in soil or
otherwise locally dispersed, store in the closed
container until all the ash has cooled completely.
• NEVER place ash in wooden or plastic
containers, in rubbish buckets or in waste
paper or plastic bags, no matter how long the
fire has been out. The embers in a bed of ashes
can maintain high temperatures for several
days after being removed from the combustion
chamber.
