5.5. CONTROL OF COMBUSTION
The stove has an inflow on the front of the firebox that permits the
entry of the primary and secondary air required for combustion. The
settings for the air input are displayed in Fig 15.
PRIMARY AIR
The Primary air is controlled between the air register setting fully open
(A) to centre (B) position. At position (A) the primary air is at
maximum input. The primary air is reduced by pushing the air register
in until position (B) where the primary air is closed.
Between positions (A) and (B) the Secondary air is at maximum input
and cannot be reduced.
The air register should be moved to position (A) for lighting the stove.
Once the flame in the fireplace stove is burning well, push the register
until the knob reaches the centre position (B).
SECONDARY AIR
The secondary air input is only controlled between the air register
settings centre (B) and fully closed (C). At setting (B) the secondary air
input is at maximum. To reduce the secondary air push the register in
until it reaches position (C) where it is closed.
The Primary air input is closed between positions (B) and (C).
In normal conditions of use, dirt deposits on the glass at
lighting, but disappears as soon as the combustion chamber
is hot enough.
The use of damp or treated wood emits a higher quantity of
smoke than normal that can dirty glass faster. Also the low
performance of the flue pipe can jeopardise glass cleanliness
since smoke remains in the combustion chamber longer than
normal.
5.6. EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
If for any reason the stove fire needs to be suddenly and quickly put
out or a fire in the flue pipe needs to be put out, proceed as follows:
The equipment door must be kept closed.
Disconnect the power supply and do not use water (shock
hazard).
Contact the emergency services.
