clean the ash pan and the smoke outlet via
the soot cover located below the oven.

INSTRUCTIONS OF USE

CLOSE
The primary air valve is thermostatic and will
close the primary air intake as the cooker
heats up. It will also open the air intake when
the cooker cools down. Users can use the
manual level adjust the thermostat to a
higher or lower temperature.
Regulate draw by means of the primary air
valve. Take into account that excessive draw
will lead to greater wood consumption and to
the overheating of the top.
Never fill the combustion chamber with fuel
completely or leave the door open.
The recommended chimney draw is 1.5
mmac.
Always control oven temperature by means
of the thermometer installed on the door. If
the temperature reaches 250 °C (yellow area
of thermometer), do not introduce more
fuel; close the primary air intake valve by
turning it anti-clockwise.
Any overheating of the cooker, indicated by
oven temperature exceeding 300ºC (red
area on the thermometer), may lead to the
deterioration of the hob and of the enamel
on the base plates.
Once a year, coinciding with the annual
cleaning, or when required, check the
condition of the base sections located below
the glass ceramic top.
If it needs changing, replace it. These plates
are attached to the frame and their
replacement is a very simple operation.
Cooking will take less time if the bottoms of
pots, pans and other utensils are perfectly
flat.
Lighting up for the first time
It is important when lighting the cooker for
the first time to follow these simple
instructions:
- Fully open the direct draw valve.
- Place paper or fire-starter cubes in the
base of the chamber and place some thin
sticks on top (do not light yet).
