8.2. MANUFACTURER’S ADVICE
COMBINED USE OF WOOD + GAS
With this solution the traditional wood-burning aspect is maintained; wood does not change either the taste or the
smell of the product
• no cap.
• partition between wood and burner: brick laid on its side.
• wood position in front of the burner; in terms of the door, keep an eye on the wood, not on the wood pile.
Clean the ashes on a daily basis.
REQUIREMENTS FOR A COMBINED USE SYSTEM
The flue dimensions and materials must be suite for the combined wood-plus-gas operation.
Use of the system with wood leads to a significant change in the system, with more stringent regulations that
must be complied with.
If the oven is suited for wood-burning operation, it is also suited for gas operation. The opposite, however, is not
true. In case of flue suited for wood-burning operation, when switching to gas it is recommended to fit a draught
adjustment gate in order to obtain the right consumption and consequently perfect oven operation.
•
Switch on the burner, the wood will soon catch fire spontaneously.
• On the contrary of what happens with gas operation only (oven reaches the set R°, the burner does not
maintain a constant T°), T° continues to increase for 1F+ wood; the burner is likely to be switched off manually
using the switch towards the end of the night or as needed. Management of burner on-off-on.
• Cover the oven loading door.
• Prior to restarting operation, empty out the ashes and put in more wood.
