Continuous stoking with the primary air supply open (combustion air
supply slider is fully over to the " + " position) (air via rear of wood
rack, with outlet just above the vermiculite bottom plate) causes a
fi ercely white-hot fi re that can damage parts of the fi replace.

HEATING ECONOMICALLY
The most environmentally-friendly and economic way of heating with wood is
to have your fi re hot but calm. The ash should appear to glow a soft red-orange
and should not glow like a blacksmith's fi re. Fires like that burn quickly and
intensely, leaving little time for complete combustion.
Your fi re is at its most economical when:
•
Burning with the door closed. This makes the fi re hotter and improves
combustion.
•
Using dry and clean wood (as described further in section 8).
•
Always ensure even combustion. Stoke with the primary air regulator closed.
To do this, place the combustion air supply slider in the centre position.
•
The bed of the fi re should be homogeneous, and the fi re must have
easy access to air. Position the blocks of wood (loosely and evenly)
horizontally on the bed of ash, so that they are separate and several
centimetres away from the walls.
Note ! :
Keep the bottom at the front as free of ash as possible.
Every 2 or 3 times you replenish the fi re, push the ash at the
front several centimetres towards the back. In this way, the fi re
will be well aerated as it burns.
6.5.
CLEANING THE WINDOW
After several burning hours, a light deposit may form on the inner side of the
window. Once the fi re has cooled down, this deposit can be removed using glass
cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner.
