the chimney.
During the first ignition, ensure the room is
well ventilated as paint fumes may be given
off.
Keep the Stove on for a few hours at this rate.
IMPORTANT! The total height of the load must
not exceed 50% of the height of the combustion
chamber.
The compact must remain closed during combus-
tion to prevent smoke from escaping. Open it on-
ly during reloads.
When the Stove is in operation, opening opera-
tions should be carried out slowly to avoid fumes
and accidental burns.
The glass is ceramic glass, which radiates heat. It
can reach high temperatures.
For daily use.
Your Stove is ready for daily use, after the first igni-
tion.
The heating needs of your home will determine
how often you must load firewood.
Ignite the Stove slowly if it is cold.
Caution in overheating.
Overheating means you have run your Stove at too
high a temperature for an extended period. This
can damage your Stove and should, therefore, be
avoided.
Overheating results from an excessive draft, which
can happen for one of these reasons:
The air valve has been opened too much for
the type of wood used.
The chimney is too high.
Inadequate maintenance, which can lead to
air leaks.
Ceramic seals in bad conditions.
Inadequate fuel, producing high temperatu-
res.
Door not closed properly.
ATTENTION!
During operation, uncontrolled air intake causes
overheating, which can damage the Stove.
6 -
The Stove has been subjected to extreme tempera-
tures and the corrosive effect of combustion resi-
dues. Regular maintenance is essential to achieve a
longer life and better use of it. We recommend
that you carry out these checks regularly:
DURING THE SEASON OF USE
Inspect the fireplace. Clean off soot and tar if
it has built up on the inside walls.
Verify that the door closes tightly. Adjust if
necessary.
WHEN THE SEASON ENDS
Inspect and clean the fireplace.
Vacuum the inside and inspect it.
Soot and tars (creosote) accumulating on the
walls reduce performance.
Inspect the ceramic cords on the door and
glass. These should be replaced when they do
ot seal perfectly.
On painted stoves, repaint the cast iron parts
if necessary. Use anti-heat paint for this pur-
pose.
CLEANING
Cleaning should always be done when the Sto-
ve is cold.
Cleaning of ashes
These stoves have an ashtray located under
the firebox.
Take out the ashtray and clean it of ashes.
The ashes should be emptied into a metal con-
tainer and taken out of the house immedia-
tely.
Clean the ashtray housing.
Painted parts
They should be cleaned with a dry cloth to
avoid oxidation.
