3- 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
thewood,how to lightit and use it on a daily basis.
ALWAYSKEEP INMINDthatthe stovegenerates 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.
HANDLES
To open the hearth door, turn the lever in a clockwise
direction until the open position ("Ten To" position on the
clock) and gently pull outwards.
To close it, keep the lever in the open position ("Ten
To" position on the clock) close the door, by exerting a slight
pressure and turn the lever gently in an anti-clockwise
direction until the closed
position ("Twenty To" position on the clock).
To open the ash pan door, turn the lever in an anti clockwise
direction, from the horizontal closed position to the vertical
open position, and gently lower the door.
To close it, reverse the operation. Keep the lever in the
vertical position, close the door, by exerting a slight pressure
and turn the lever gently in a clockwise direction until the
horizontal closed
position.
FIRST LIGHTING UP
Important at first start: may come off a few drops of
condensed water from the stove, produced by the humidity
of the environment where the stove
was stored.
It is very importantthat the firsttime the heater is lit, it is
done so slowly.
This is for the following reasons:
a) Stabilise cast iron parts.
b) Harden the joint sealant putty.
Advise:
• We recommend that the first loads of fuel be
small.
• To generate draw, heat the chimney by introducing
some burning paper in the gap between the front
and the deflector, directing it toward the chimney.
• While lighting for the first time, ensure the room where
the heater is located is well
ventilated as the paint work may let off some fumes.
• Keep the stove on for a few hours at this
intensity.
