6.2 - FUEL

6.2.1 - Recommended Fuel

Hardwood : oak, honbeam, beech, chesnut, etc.
It is advisable to use only well-seasoned wood with a maximum moisture content of 20 %, i.e. 2 years dry storage
following cutting, in order to obtain better efficiency and avoid sooting smoke pipe and glasses.
Do not use resinous woods (pine, fir, spruce, etc.), which involve more frequent maintenance of the insert and
flue.
For a constant burning, load as described in § 2 – Nominal heating output.
For an intermediate burning, reduce the load.
For a long-lasting fire at low speed, use one or two unsplit logs (diameter superior to 15 cm).

6.2.2 - Prohibited fuels

All types of fuel other than wood are forbidden, in particular coal and its by-products.
Do not burn household refuse, plastics or by-products, greasy materials, waste made of manufactured wood,
agglomerated products, painted or varnished woods ; all these are sources of pollution and risks of sooting.
The appliance should not be used as a waste incinerator.
Flare-ups from small pieces of wood, vine shoots or similar, bits of plank, straw and cardboard are dangerous and
must not be used.

6.3 - USE OF CONTROLS AND ACCESSORIES

- Thermostat knob : may be hot, so must be handled with the poker. Set on position 0 to 8 according to required
speed.
Example :
Position 8 : normal burning
Position 3 et 5 : intermediate burning
Position 0 : slow burning
Door handle : vertical rotation using the poker. Down : closed ; up : open (Fig.16).
-
- Poker : required for moving logs inside the insert according to the combustion, also needed to operate the
thermostat knob, the door handle, and to close the ashpan door.
Scraper : for ash removal.

6.4 - USING THE APPLIANCE

6.4.1 - Lighting
Set thermostat knob on position 8.
-
Screw up some paper and place it on the grate along with some very dry kindling, then some bigger split
-
wood on top (diameter about 3 to 5 centimetres).
- ight the paper and close the doors (or leave them slightly ajar so that the fire catches more quickly).
L
When the kindling is alight, open the doors and put in the wood recommended above.
-
6.4.2 – Operation requirements
6.4.2.1 - Operation in closed hearth mode
The burning rate is adjusted by choosing a suitable load according to your needs and acting on the
-
thermostat (refer to § 6.2.1. and 6.3).
- Only re-load when all the flames have died down to leave a bed of embers. In particular, if you require
a long staying time at slow burning rate, load into a bed of embers that are barely glowing. The return
of fire will be slow but more certain than in an open hearth.
