AUTOMATIC REGULATION OF THE SECONDARY AIR: The secondary air enters
through the pipes of the deflector and is spread proportionally in the combustion chamber. The
greater the combustion, the more the heat and, as a result, the better the draught and the better
provision of secondary air.
GRILL SHAKER: This control is located inside the ash tray. Open the door to the ash
tray and using the tool provided, (see Fig. 19.) move the lever forward and back. The upper
grille will move forward and backward, opening and closing the entrance to the ash
compartment and causing the ash to fall into the ash tray. When the door to the ash tray is
closed, the door pushes the lever and this closes the connection between the stove and the ash
tray.
ASH TRAY: The ash tray collects the hot
wood in the fire and conveniently allows the ash to
be removed from your stove. The ash tray is very
easy to take out. When the stove is cold, push the
ash through the grille in the stove into the ash tray
and then remove the ash tray by sliding it out
carefully. After getting rid of the ash, push the ash
tray in to its position and close the door.
Warning!
Do not forget to put the ash tray back into
place.
Never allow your stove to work with the ash
tray and the grille open, as this could overheat and
damage your stove.

2.1.2 - FUELS

Your HERITAGE wood stove is designed only to burn high calorie hard firewood.
For guidance, here are some types of wood with a rough classification with reference to
their heating ability:




The quality of the wood affects the heat produced, the duration of the combustion and the
operation of your stove.
Do not use as fuel wood from the sea; salts contained in it react in the combustion
releasing acids that damage the cast iron and the steel plate.
Soft wood, low in calories, generate high, fast combustions, whereas hard woods, high in
calories, burn long and produce more heat.
The damp contained in the wood also plays an important role in the operation of the
stove. Green woods contain a large amount of damp.
HIGH: Apple, Black birch, Maple, Oak, White ilex, Black beech
MEDIUM HIGH: Ash, Beech, Yellow birch, Maple, Red ilex
MEDIUM LOW: Black ash, White birch, Elm, Norwegian pine, Teak pine,
Cherry, Tamarind
LOW: Pine, Cedar, Fir, Poplar, Linden,
