  • Page 9: Using The Appliance For The First Time

    Cuatro-3 90 USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME GENERAL Allow your home to dry properly, after you have had your chimney breast modifi ed or newly built. Walls which have not been allowed to dry properly are a magnet for dust such as any smoke particles created when stoking up the appliance or suddenly opening the door.

  • Page 14 Cuatro-3 90 • Check whether the ashtray is completely empty. • Report any defects immediately to your dealer. • Remove enclosed documents and components from the appliance. • Check the function of the Perma Air ® convection fan (optional) using the wall dimmer switch.

  • Page 15: Use

    Cuatro-3 90 5.1 VENTILATION If wood is to burn, it needs air. For each kilo of wood that you put on the appliance (door closed), 10 - 15 m of extra air is needed. That means about 35 m per hour! Depending on how the appliance has been installed, the combustion air will either be drawn directly from outside or from the living room itself.
  • Page 16 Cuatro-3 90 When setting the appliance, turn the locking all the way to the right. If necessary, leave the door ajar for 10 minutes. Do not open the door wide, as the window will remain cold. If the door is shut during this time, smoke will condense on the glass and form soot.
  • Page 17 Cuatro-3 90 Weather conditions In order to reduce pollution and any other inconvenience, we advise not fi ring up the appliance when there is no wind, or in foggy/misty conditions. Smoke development Your appliance has been designed to be used with the load/observation door closed.
  • Page 18 Cuatro-3 90 Increasing the draught: • Remove the fl ue gas fl ap by lifting it slightly, tipping it backwards and removing it. • Bend the strips, L and R, on the retardant plate (brake plate) holder completely backwards. As a result, the opening for the discharge of the fl ue gases increases.
  • Page 19 Cuatro-3 90 5.4 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.
  • Page 20 Cuatro-3 90 5.6 GENERAL HEATING TIPS • Burn dry wood only. Damp wood not only burns poorly, it causes more pollution in the appliance (window), the chimney, your room (when opening the door of the appliance, for instance) and the environment. Wood can only be classifi ed as dry if it has been stored under a Dutch barn for at least two years (not covered with plastic).
  • Page 21 Cuatro-3 90 OUTPUT In practice, combustion is all about loss. This entails: • Loss through excess heat leaving the chimney, rather than going into the room. • Loss through insuffi cient combustion, such as CO (carbon monoxide) and soot particles.

  • Page 22: Fuel

    If this happens, there is a risk of fi re. It may also damage your appliance and chimney. BARBAS will not assume liability for damage caused by overheating. Burning one layer of wood can lead to varying outputs. When used correctly, one load will burn in around 45 minutes.

    Cuatro-3 90 MAINTENANCE • Emptying the ashtray • Regularly check how much ash is in the ashtray. • Make sure the ashtray is never more than ¾ full. If the ashtray is more than ¾ full, it can obstruct the fl ow of air to the appliance.

The Barbas range does not have any appliances that can be connected to central heating installations. We do not advise attempting it!! At what temperature does the convection fan cut in?

  • Page 27 Cuatro-3 90 How do I know if I’m heating correctly? Follow the instructions in this manual. The fl ames should play softly across the wood and the wood should burn evenly. Once the fuel has been burning for a short time, the smoke from the chimney should be almost translucent.
  • Page 28 Cuatro-3 90 Do I have to take any extra measures if the room I am heating has an extractor fan (mechanical ventilation)? If the combustion air comes from the living-room: A fl ue gas fan is required for permanent extraction of the area in which the appliance is placed.
