•
When the loading of small parts of wood is well lit,
open the door, load the appliance with the
recommended fuel.
7.4.2 - Working
•
The wanted speed is obtained in moving the
different components (see Fig. 18) and in choosing
a load corresponding to the needs.
•
To get a slower speed for a longer period, load on a
hardly glowing bed of embers.
•
To get a rapid blaze, restart the fire with small parts
of wood, load with logs, possibly maintaining the
door slightly open for a few minutes to accelerate
the
blaze,
keeping
surveillance, then close the door. This operation
allows to accelerate the restart, especially if the
wood is humid.
•
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 (only
C07932).
- 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
o
normal speed running period.
Favour uses with small loads.
o
•
After a running with a slow speed, the window can
get dark because of a slight bistre. This deposit
normally disappears in a higher speed pyrolysis
running.
•
The combustion chamber must be always closed
except when reloading in order to avoid any excess
of smoke.

- The scraper allows to make the ash removal of
the grate (Fig. 20).
- 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.
7.4.4 - 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
under
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
(Fig. 24).
•
In case of a chimney fire, put the air intake damper
in a closed position.
8 - ADVICE ON CHIMNEY-SWEEPING AND
STOVE AND SMOKE FLUE MAINTENANCE
The mecanical sweeping of the smoke flue is
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 :
- Dismantle the deflector
if forward (Fig. 15 and 16).
- Let the back part of the du deflector
and take it out (Fig. 17).
- 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
optimal
convection route..
If you detect any irregularities : have your appliance or
your installation repaired by a professional.
