3.3 - VENTILATION OF THE AREA IN WHICH THE APPLIANCE IS TO BE INSTALLED

• The appliance needs air in addition to the air required by the statutory air change rate. This is obligatory when the dwelling includes mechanical ventilation.
• The air intake should give directly to the outside or should be located in an area ventilated to the outside; it should also be protected by a grille.
• The air outlet should be as near as possible to the stove. The user should be able to close it off when it comes out directly into the room. While the appliance is being used, make sure that it is free of any obstructions.
• The air intake section should be at least equal to one-quarter of the section of the smoke flue with a minimum of : - 50 cm² for use with the door closed only
• It may be necessary to stop the extractor of the mechanical ventilation so as to avoid smoke coming back into the room when the door is opened.

4 - STOVE OPERATING CONDITIONS

4.1 FIRST LIGHTING

• Once the chimney is implemented and the stove set, observe the drying time of the materials used for the construction (2 to 3 weeks).
• Do not connect the stove to a pipe linked to several appliances.
• After first lighting (see paragraph 4.4.1), make a moderate fire for the first hours by limiting the stove's load (a 15cm diameter log) (air damper half-open).

Progressive heating of all the elements in the chimney and normal stove expansion.

• During the first hours of use, the stove may produce a smell of paint: ventilate the room to limit its effects.
• Preparation of the C07709 to increase the capacity of the chaffing dish (see Fig. 11):

In the case of a back connecting; it is possible to dismantle the pipe cache of the chaffing dish, in order to increase its volume, proceed as defined below:

Lift the A cover to remove it. Remove the 2 B back screws from the decoration of the C chaffing dish. Remove the decoration from the chaffing dish. Remove the D cache pipe. Reassemble the decoration to the chaffing dish. Reassemble the top.

4.2 FUEL

4.2.1 Fuel recommended

Hardwood logs with a maximum length of 56 cm: oak, hornbeam, beech, chestnut, etc.

Maximum loading height: 25 cm.

We recommend using very dry wood (maximum 20% humidity), i.e., 2 years dry storage following cutting, in order to obtain higher yields and avoid sooting the smoke duct and the windows.

Do not use resinous woods (pine, fir, spruce, etc.), which involve more frequent maintenance of the stove and the flue.

4.2.2 Forbidden fuel

Any other combustible than wood is forbidden, in particular coal and its by-products.

Burning kindling, canes, slats, straw, cardboard, liquid fuels is dangerous and should be avoided.

The appliance should not be used as a waste incinerator.

4.3 USING THE HANDLING DEVICES AND THE ACCESSORIES

• Air inlet damper (Fig. 3): move using the poker.
• Door handle: move using the poker (Fig. 5) or an oven glove.
• Scaper (Fig. 4): for ash removal and appliance cleaning.

Don't take the risk of burning your hands, use the fire irons.

LIGHTING REGISTER (Fig. 3)

Lighting position is obtained by moving the damper directly with your hand: this position must only be used when the stove is "cold". It cannot be maintained more than 30 minutes. You must keep a close eye on the stove during the lighting stage. To reach this position, you must follow the following steps:

Operation No. 1:

• Push the air inlet damper's operating knob ② to the end point corresponding to the locked "Lighting Position".

Operation No. 2:

• Lift the unlocking index ① located to the right of the adjustment damper.

Operation No. 3:

• Hold the index in high position with the right hand and push the operating knob ② to the right with the left hand: you are in "Lighting Position".

After lighting the appliance, to return to normal, intermediate or reduced burning position (see Fig. 3), use the poker to push the air damper operating knob as it may be hot.

4.4 USE

4.4.1 Lighting

• Open the air damper to lighting position (Fig. 3).
• Place crumpled paper on the grating and very dry kindling wood (twigs), then larger cross-section cut wood (diameter 3 to 5 cm).
• Light the paper and close the door (leave it partly open to accelerate lighting up).
• Once the "kindling wood" load is burning, open the door, load the appliance with the recommended fuel and use the regulation devices to obtain the burning required.

4.4.2 Operation

4.4.2.1 Periodic and continuous use

• The intermittent use of the appliance requires a reload every 45 minutes. This type of use is particularly recommended as it is environmentally friendly.
• The apparatus may also be used in continuous mode when periodic use is not possible or when reduced burning is required. In this case, maximum heat output can be maintained for 3 hours and with a slow combustion rate, and a low heat output, the burning period can extend to 10 hours with a 9 kg load.

4.4.2.2 Fireduct

• The burning required is obtained by using the control devices (see § 4.3) and selecting a load matching your needs, i.e.: . For maximum heating, load the appliance with 3 logs of approx. 10 cm diameter (air damper open) (Fig. 3).

Use this position only temporarily, to heat the rooms following prolonged absence.

. For intermediate heating, use a smaller load : one or two logs (air damper half-open) (Fig. 3). . For a long-lasting heat output with a slow combustion rate, use 1 or 2 non-split logs with a diameter superior to 15 cm (air damper closed) (Fig. 3). - To get a long-lasting combustion rate, reload on a merely burning bed of embers. - For rapid restarting of the fire, add some kindling wood, load the logs, and only if necessary keep the door partly open for several minutes, without leaving the appliance unattended. Thereafter, use the controls as per the instructions (paragraph 4.3). This method gets the fire going quickly again, especially if the wood is slightly damp. - Change the burning rate (switching from a slow combustion rate to a normal rate for example) before reloading, during the combustion stage of the embers, to enable the appliance and smoke duct to change progressively from one burning rate to another.

• To prevent smoke from driving back and the ash from entering the room, at the time of loading, opening the door requires a number of precautions:

. Open the door partly, waits for the open door suction to start, and open the door slowly.

• Using the stove in continuous mode and a slow combustion rate, especially in milder temperature conditions (bad draught) and with wet timber, leads to an incomplete combustion and the formation of tar and soot deposits :

Alternate the slow burning periods with returns to normal burning. o Burning small loads is recommended

• After the stove has been used in slow combustion mode, the front glass may darken because of a slight soot deposit, this deposit will burn off (by pyrolysis) with the next hot fire (higher combustion rate).

The fitting of a suction moderating flap in the connecting duct enables to control the burning, notably slow burning, enabling long lasting heating (see installation manual).

4.4.2.3 De-ashing

The air used for burning the wood comes in under the grate when the damper is open. This air also ensures the cooling of the grating. Therefore, it is vital, to ensure optimum performance and prevent the degradation of the grating due to overheating, to prevent any obstruction by performing regularly de-ashing operations and evacuating the ash :

• Use the scraper (1) to de-ash the grating (Fig. 4).
• The ash pan, located under the grille, can be easily removed using the poker (Fig. 5).
• The level of ash must never reach the stove's cast iron grating : de-ash every 2 to 3 days.
• Remove periodically any ash which spilled accidentally in the ash box compartment.

4.4.3 Safety instructions

• Never throw water on the fire to put it out.
• The front glass as well as other parts of the stove are very hot : beware the risk of burns.
• The stove produces a large quantity of heat by means of radiation through the window : do not place any materials or objects which are sensitive to heat within 1.5m of the windowed zone.
• It is imperative to maintain the loading closed at all times.
• Do not place any easily flammable materials near the appliance.
• Empty the ash pan into a special metal or otherwise inflammable receptacle used only for this purpose. Ashes that might appear cold can still be very hot, even if you think they have had enough time to get cold.
• It is especially important not to store wood under the appliance.
• If there is a fire in the chimney, shut the air ventilation pull handle (Fig. 3).

5 - RECOMMENDATIONS RELATED TO DUCT CLEANING, STOVE AND SMOKE DUCT MAINTENANCE

The mechanical cleaning of the smoke duct is compulsory, and must be performed several times per year, at least during the heating season. A certificate should be handed in by a qualified professional.

At the time of duct cleaning, the following operations must be carried out:

• Dismount the deflector (Fig. 6) and (Fig. 7):

Dismount the deflector (lift the deflector 1, move it forward 2, tilt the rear 3, lower it 4 and remove it 5 through the right-hand side).

• Dismount the rear plate of the hearth, the two lateral hearth plates, the hearth grid and the duct pipe.

(Assembling the deflector: perform the disassembly operation in the reverse order).

• Check thoroughly the state of the appliance and particularly the elements ensuring sealing: locking joints and devices, supporting parts (door, frame).
• Check the state of the smoke duct and connecting duct: all the connections must show proper mechanical resistance and sealing.
• Clean the appliance using a brush and a vacuum cleaner.

In the event of an anomaly: have the appliance repaired or the installation performed by a qualified professional.

After a long off-period:

• Check that nothing obstructs any pipes before using the stove again.

CURRENT MAINTENANCE

• Clean the window using a damp cloth and ash. If required, use an adapted household cleaning product by observing the instructions of the operation manuals. Wait for the appliance to be completely cooled before proceeding with this operation.
• Clean regularly the ventilation guides (Fig. 8):

Using the tip of a metallic object (②), scratch the inner edges of the cast iron to remove the soot which may have formed. Using a vacuum cleaner (①), remove the particles and dust trapped between the door and window (Fig. 9).

These particles prevent the forming of the secondary air layer which protects the window from direct contact with the smoke and completes the combustion of the wood (Fig. 9).

These operations must be performed whenever the window is dirty and systematically following the total extinction of the hearth.

For C07787:

• Check the efficiency of the door latch and, if required, make the following adjustments (Fig. 10):
• To harden door closure:

Successively loosen screw ① and tighten screw ②. Turn both screws 1/4 turn and repeat the operation as required.

NOTE: This operation increases pressure on the hearth door's sealing gasket.

• To soften door closure:

Successively loosen screw ② and tighten screw ①. Turn both screws 1/4 turn and repeat the operation as required.

NOTE: This operation reduces pressure on the hearth door's sealing gasket.
