Usage of cooking area and oven
Cooking Area
It is not recommended to cook directly on the stove's top (on the
paint). However, the stove's top part is an excellent cooking area
to work with kitchen utensils such as pots and pans. On the other
hand, you need to bring a special attention to aluminum
components which can melt if left unattended or in contact with
the hottest part of the stove. Temperature above the stove can
largely equal that of an electric element.
We recommend using pots and pans made of cast iron, steel, or
stainless steel when you use the circular lids above the fire.
Elsewhere on the surface area, it is possible to use aluminium
pots and pans.
Use of cooking holes
To cook food on the hobs and to get the direct combustion gases
heat from the holes, use the handle provided with the unit. To do
so, insert the handle in the matching lid hole (1-2) then tilt the
handle and lift the lid (3). Place the lid directly on the stove.
Do not leave the holes in the hob uncovered without pot or pan
for a long period of time. If you do otherwise, air will engulf in the
opening and it will cool down the chimney and diminish the draft
inside the stove. Moreover, smoke might come out from the
openings if the draft in the chimney diminishes too much.
Lids above the firebox
Above the firebox there are two lids nested in one another. One
is 7 inch diameter and the other is 10 inch diameter. ( 1 )
Before removing the 10 inch lid, it is strongly recommended to
remove
the
7
inch
Lids above the oven
Above the oven there are 2 lids. One is 6 inches and the other
is 7 inches ( 2 ). To improve the temperature above the oven
lids the oven damper must be set to the cooking setting.

Optional cooking plate
J.A. Roby offer two enameled cooking plates for your device.
They can be bought at any J.A. Roby's retailers.
One of those cooking plates is intended to be placed above the
fire(1) and the bigger cooking plate is to be put above the
oven(2).
The first one can be used to sear meet or food directly on the
stove while the second one is more suitable for slower cooking.
Both plates offer the additional advantage of reducing the oven
heat loss which ends up rising the oven temperature.
It is recommended to clean-up the enameled plates with water
and vinegar while they are still hot. Rinse the plate with water
before drying it.
