4 - USING THE STOVE

Once your stove has been installed and connected
to the chimney, you are ready to light the fire.
Although your stove is easy to use, the combustion
process of solid fuels is complicated, as it involves
several factors and it takes time and experience to
understand the process.
Before lighting your stove for the first time, please
take time to become familiar with the different
control systems and parts of the unit, how to
choose the wood, how to light it and use it on a
daily basis.
ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND that the stove generates
heat and, therefore, keep children, clothing,
furniture... at a distance to prevent burns from
direct contact with the appliance.
Below, we have included some advice on your
stove and on its use. Please read with care.
Door handle
The front door allows you to access the inside of
the hearth to load the wood logs in your heater
and to clean it, and it provides a view of the fire
through the glass. To open the door, lift up the
control handle up to the position (as on a clock)
of 10 o'clock and pull from the door. To close the
door, push the door against the frame lowering the
control handle to the position (as on a clock) of 8
o'clock. (Fig.2)
Ash pan door handle
Open this door when you need to remove the ashes
from the heater. To open the door push the control
handle slightly out until the closing latch is freed
from its pocket. (Fig. 3), and without releasing it,
lower the door lightly downwards, until the door
leans against the stoppers located under the ash
pan drawer. (Fig. 4).
In order to close it, the process is the other way
round. Lift the door holding it from the control
handle upwardly till the closed position and slightly
pressing in the direction of the heater as far as the
closing latch fits into the initial location. (Fig. 5)
