• Your stove operated with natural draught, created by the ascension of combustion gases in the

chimney. This movement creates a siphon effect in the stove and forces ambient air to go in the

burner by the holes in its surround. These orifices let air in for combustion.

• For the unit to function properly, it is essential to check the quality of the draught using a draught

gauge. The draught is usually measured in inches of water column.

• Check the minimum draught required of the unit on page 1. The draught mentioned has to be

reached rapidly at a minimum settling (position #1).

• Depending on the model, the draught can be taken by the orifice on the cooking surface. The

measure can also be taken by the orifice on the draught regulator usually plugged by a rubber cap.

The orifice on the cooking surface is still the best area.

IMPORTANT : ALWAYS MEASURE THE DRAUGHT WITH ALL VENTILATION EQUIPMENT

INSTALLED IN THE HOUSE (RANGE HOOD, BATHROOM FAN, AIR EXCHANGER, DRYER, ETC

IN OPERATION.)

column, you will have to adjust the regulator.

• To adjust the draught you have to screw or

unscrew the court weight on the regulator.
