4.1 FIRST LIGHTING
- Once the chimney is implemented and the stove set, observe the drying time of the materials used for
the construction (2 to 3 weeks).
- Do not connect the stove to a pipe linked to several appliances.
- After first lighting (see paragraph 4.4.1), make a moderate fire for the first hours by limiting the stove's
load (a 15 cm diameter log) (thermostat position 4 for C07783 and position III for C07753, C07784).
. Progressive heating of all the elements in the chimney and normal stove expansion.
- During the first hours of use, the stove may produce a smell of paint : ventilate the room to limit its
effects.
4.2 FUEL
4.2.1 Fuel recommended
Hardwood logs with a maximum length of 65 cm : oak, hornbeam, beech, chestnut, etc...
Maximum loading height : 25 cm.
We recommended using very dry wood (maximum 20% humidity), i.e. 2 years dry storage
following cutting, in order to obtain higher yields and avoid sooting the smoke duct and the
windows.
Do not use resinous woods (pine, fir, spruce, etc.), which involve more frequent maintenance of
the stove and the flue.
4.2.2 Forbidden fuel
Any other combustible than wood is forbidden, in particular coal and its by-products.
Burning kindling, canes, slats, straw, cardboard, liquid fuels is dangerous and should be avoided.
The appliance should not be used as a waste incinerator.
4.3 USING THE HANDLING DEVICES AND THE ACCESSORIES
- The thermostat (Fig. 3) :
(7) Thermostat
With the ash box and loading door closed hermetically, the adjustment is performed using the
thermostat knob.
To get the maximum speed turn the handle clockwise.
For slow burning: the index must be set on position 0 for C07783 and position I for C07753,
C07784.
. Adjusting the thermostat flap (Fig. 4) :
Adjustment is factory-set. However, we recommend checking it before first lighting.
For a 20°C room temperature, when the control lever is on position I, the gap between the
supporting plate and the flap must be zero (cold appliance).
However, the flap must be subjected to no thrust, it must lift from its supporting plate when the
knob is set to position 1 for C07783 and position II for C07753, C07784.
If required, to obtain this operating mode, change the flap adjustment by acting upon the
adjustment knob : access inside the ash box compartment.
- The poker handle (15) (Fig. 5) required for opening the ash box door, as well as for oving the
logs inside the stove.
- Opening the Control door (Fig. 6) :
