• IMPORTANT! The total height of the load must
not exceed 50% of the height of the
combustion chamber.
• Keep the stove closed during combustion to
prevent smoke from escaping and only open
it to load it.
Daily use
After the first ignition, your stove is ready for daily use.
Your fireplace's heat needs will determine how often you need to
load wood.
If your stove is cold we recommend always lighting it slowly.
Caution: do not overheat.
Overheating means that you have been running your stove at
too high a temperature for a long time. Avoid this as it can
damage your stove.
Overheating is the result of excessive draft caused by one of
these reasons:
• Chimney too large.
• Improper maintenance of the stove which can
produce air infiltration.
• Inadequate fuel that produces high temperatures.
• Door not closed properly.
ATTENTION!
While the fireplace is in operation, the ash pan door must
remain closed.

4- CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Your stove is an appliance subject to extreme temperatures
and the corrosive effect of combustion residues. Its regular
maintenance is essential for its duration and better use. We
therefore recommend carrying out the following checks
frequently:
DURING THE SEASON OF USE
• Inspect the chimney. Clean the soot and tars if
they have started to accumulate on the inside
walls of the stove.
• Check
what
tightly and adjust them if necessary.
AT THE END OF THE SEASON
• Inspect and clean the chimney.
• Vacuum the inside of the chimney
and then inspect.
•
Soot and tars (creosote) accumulated on the walls of your
stove reduce its
yield.
• Inspect the door seals and replace them if they do
not give a perfect seal.
• For painted stoves, repaint the cast iron parts if
necessary and use heat-resistant paint for this
purpose.
CLEANING
Cleaning should always be done when the stove is cold.
Ash removal
These stoves are equipped with an ashtray located under the
bottom of the hearth.
Take out the ashtray and empty it of ashes.
Empty the ashes into a metal container and
immediately take him out of the house. If it's
necessary, clean the ashtray housing.
Painted parts
These parts must be cleaned with a completely dry cloth to
prevent them from oxidizing.
