UNIVERSAL-6 70
Ventilation
When using the appliance, ensure a good supply of fresh air, particularly if the combus-
tion air is drawn from the room itself. Turn on the fl ue gas fan if the fl ue is fi tted with one.
Spare parts
Any replacement parts must be new, original parts. Use of non-original/reconditioned
parts will invalidate your warranty.
Modifi cation
Do not make modifi cations to your appliance.
Any alteration to your appliance, of whatever nature, will also invalidate your warranty.
Only open the door for fi lling and lighting the appliance and for removing the ash. Keep
the door shut at all other times.
Continuous stoking while burning wood logs with the primary air supply
open (combustion air supply slider is right over to the " + " position) (air
through the grate) causes a fi ercely white-hot fi re that can damage the
grate and other parts of the appliance.
5.4 HEATING ECONOMICALLY
The most environmentally-friendly and economic way of heating with wood is to have
your fi re hot but calm. The ash should appear to glow a soft red-orange and should not
glow like a blacksmith's fi re. Fires like that burn quickly and intensely, leaving little time
for complete combustion.
Your appliance is at its most economical
• Using dry and clean wood (as described further in Chapter 6).
• Always ensure even combustion. Stoke with the primary air regulator closed.
To do this, place the combustion air supply slider in the centre position.
• The bed of the fi re should be homogeneous, and the fi re must have easy access to
air. Position the blocks of wood (loosely and evenly) horizontally on the bed of ash,
so that they are separate and several centimetres away from the walls.
5.5 CLEANING THE WINDOW
After several burning hours, a light deposit may form on the inner side of the window.
Once the appliance has cooled down, this deposit can be removed using glass cleaner
or ceramic hob cleaner.
