17.7. WOOD HEATING

1. Open the add-on door

Note: If there is already a bed of coals in the firebox, go to pre-heating.

2. Place one or two dry kindlings at the front of the add-on.

3. Place newspaper strips on top of the kindlings.

4. Cover the newspaper with more kindlings and small pieces of dry wood.

5. Add newspaper strips, then light the fire a low as possible and leave the door ½" (13 mm) opened. If you fail

lighting the fire, you might experience a back draft through the air inlets.

1. Once the kindling is well ignited or the coals revived, put 2 or 3 fire logs in such a way that the flames can interlace

between the logs. Then, close the door. It is important to respect these loading sequences so that the wood will

burn from the front to the back of the add-on.

2. Wait 15 to 20 minutes, then proceed with loading the add-on.

1. When loading the add-on, lower the kindled pieces of wood and place them at the center of the combustion

chamber before adding new logs.

2. Do not overload. Air must circulate freely in the upper part of the combustion chamber in order to obtain an efficient

operation of the appliance (secondary burn). Please note that a small hot fire will produce much less residues than

a large, smouldering one.

IMPORTANT: DURING THE HEATING PROCESS, REMOVE THE ASHES AND WOOD THAT COULD

OBSTRUCT THE 1/4" (6.4 mm) HOLE (PILOT) LOCATED BELOW THE DOOR, INSIDE THE ADD-ON

COMBUSTION CHAMBER.

TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF SMOKE SPILLAGE, OPEN THE DOOR 1"

AND WAIT ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE OPENING IT COMPLETELY.

THE PURPOSE IS TO STABILIZE THE PRESSURE INSIDE THE ADD-ON.

• Roaring fire.

• Chimney connector is glowing red.

• Extreme heat coming from the add-on. If this occurs, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Shut-off the air inlet opening

completely and wait until the glow has completely subsided.

ALWAYS KEEP THE DOOR AND THE ASH DRAWER CLOSED

PROCEDURE TO OPEN THE LOADING DOOR

(except for lighting and maintenance).
