3.4. Re-fuelling
The appliance must function door closed and top
plate correctly set up.
The burning rate can be adjusted by the air control flap
(# B, fig. 7). Experience will show you which settings
are best for your situation. The lighting flap must be
closed (# C2, fig. 7).
-
The airwash system works with the top airslide. When
the top airslide is full open the system works at its
strongest efficiency.
-
The more closed down the airslide is, the less effective
the airwash will be (when shut down completely, the
airwash system can not function).
Loading the fuel :
-
It is advisable to wait for the fire to be reduced to hot
embers before re-loading. The door should also be
opened slowly when re-loading.
-
The minimum reloading interval for nominal heat
output is 0,45 hours.
-
For a briskly burning fire, there should always be at
least two logs in the fire. The fire will burn better if
there are several logs.
-
For a slower burning fire (for example, at night), select
larger logs.
-
Close the loading door.
-
Open the lighting flap for a while (# C1, fig. 7).
3.5. Instructions for use with solid fuel
3.6. lighting
-
Slide the top air control (# B1) to the right. Open the
lower spin wheel.
-
Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate
with a reasonable quantity, if necessary, of dry kindling
wood. Place a small quantity of solid fuel on top.
-
Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper
and close the door.
-
When the fire is burning fiercely, add further fuel.
-
When the stove body is hot, close the top air control by
sliding to the left.
-
The burning rate can now be adjusted by rotating the
lower spin wheel.
3.7. Re-fuelling
-
Open the lower spin wheel.
-
Open the glass door and add fuel.
-
Leave the lower spin wheel open for a few minutes to
allow the initial volatiles in the fuel to burn.
-
Adjust the lower spin wheel to the desired position.
3.8. De-ashing
-
Remove ash until glowing ashes start falling into the
pan (# C3, fig. 7, p. 7).
-
Ashes must be removed before loading the firebox
and when the fire doesn't burn efficiently.
-
Ashes must never be allowed to pile up to the grate.
The grate would not be cool down and could rapidly be
damaged.
-
Empty the ashes when the appliance is cold.
8
-
Empty the ashes carefully with regard to the live
embers.
REMEMBER TO BURN SOLID FUEL CORRECTLY,
AlR SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO FLOW FROM THE
A S H P I T A R E A T H R O U G H T H E G R AT E A N D
THROUGH THE FUEL. IF THE GRATE OR ASH PAN
ARE CONGESTED, THE PERFOMANCE WILL BE
EFFECTED.
If burning solid fuel, always empty the ash pan at least
once a day or whenever it is full of ashes. Never allow
the ashpan to overfill allowing ash to be in contact with
the underside of the grate. If this condition is allowed,
the grate will wear out pre-maturely.
3.9. Maintenance of the stove
•
The appliance must be cleaned regularly, together with
the connecting pipe and the flue pipe.
•
Remove all deposits from the combustion chamber
and clean the grate area.
•
Cleaning of the glass door can be done with a soft cloth
dampened with water and vinegar or potassium ; this
must be done when the appliance is cold ; then rinse
with clear water. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
•
The "Vitroceramic" glass will resists to temperatures of
up to 750 C. Should the glass break due to misuse, it
must be replaced by the manufacturers own product.
•
All the casing parts can be cleaned using a soft cloth
either dry, or slightly damp. In case of condensation or
water splashes clean the parts before they dry out.
•
Check that there are no obstructions before relighting
after a long period of disuse.
•
The appliance must not be used with a flue serving
several appliances.
•
To maintain the grates ventilation free of any
obstruction.
Warning : The appearance of cracks when burning the
enamelled units is quite usual and tends to disappear
when the appliance is cooling down. It should not be
considered as a defect but rather as a patina of the
enamel which does not affect its quality nor its service
ability.
3.10. Maintenance of the Chimney
Very important : In order to avoid any incident
(chimney fire, etc...), maintenance tasks must be
carried out regularly. If the appliance is regularly used,
the chimney should be swept several times per year,
together with the stovepipe connection section.
If the chimney catches fire, you must cut off the flue
draught, close the doors and windows, hatches and
keys and call the Fire Brigade without delay.
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OF THE APPLIANCE
(OR AIR INLET) UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
Chimney condition should be checked at least once per
year by a professional engineer.
