Heating At Low Thermal Output (During Transitional Seasons); Emptying The Ash Drawer; Cleaning The Ceramic Glass Panel - HASE Valencia B.12 Manuel D'utilisation

8. Heating at Low Thermal Output
(during Transitional Seasons)
You can vary the thermal output of your Valencia by
adjusting the quantity of fuel used.
NOTE!
Do not attempt to slow down the com-
bustion by reducing the air supply. When
heating with wood, this can result in an
incomplete burning process and pose the
risk of an explosive like combustion of the
accumulated wood gases (defl agration).

9. Emptying the Ash Drawer

As a safety precaution, please make sure that you
only dispose of ashes once they are cold.
The ash drawer contains the mineral components
of the wood (approx. 1%) as combustion residues.
Lift the fi re grate and tilt it towards the back (fi g. 5).
The furnace ash dump can then be removed (fi g. 6).

10. Cleaning the ceramic glass panel

To clean use the included protective glove with an
extra long shaft. This protects you and your cloth-
ing from getting dirty.
We recommend a proven and environmentally
friendly cleaning method:
Ball some up paper towels or newspaper, moisten
the ball, dip it into the cold wood ash, rub the panel
with it and then wipe the glass with a clean, dry
ball of paper.
NOTE!
Only use wood ash from split logs for this
cleaning process. Wood briquettes can
contain additives, which may scratch the
surface of the ceramic glass.
A common, retail glass detergent may also be used
for cleaning. When cleaning the seal and steel sur-
faces we recommend that you spray the glass de-
tergent on a cloth and not directly on the pane.
