Reloading. De-ashing
Position the air control lever at level “4”, to revive the fire. After several minutes, de-ash
and then reload.
To reload with coal, open the loading hatch on the top part. Fill to the upper level on the
front firebox plate: do not level out or pack down the coal, on the contrary, always leave
space above the ashes, either at the front or at the back of the firebox.
To reload with wood, open the firebox door and insert logs one by one.
After reloading, close the loading hatch (or firebox door) and do not forget to return the
air control lever to its initial setting as soon as the fire is firmly revived.
Insert the hook of the tool supplied with the appliance into the hole in the de-ashing pull
knob.
Push and pull alternately 6 to 8 times one after the other to shake the grate. De-ashing has
been done correctly if, when opening the ash pan door, you clearly see the glimmer from
the firebox reflected in the ash pan. Push the pull knob back before closing the outer steel
door.
De-ash at least twice a day and in particular when reviving the fire after overnight bur-
ning.
Empty the ash pan when it is two thirds full.
(Allowing ash to accumulate in the ash pan carries the risk of irreparable damage to the
firebox grate).
Close the ash pan door firmly.
FITTING THE GUARD
Take the whole thing in two hands, the right hand on
the rounded iron axis and the left supporting the flap.
Insert this into the opening on the left-hand side of the
oven such that the lower lip of the flap is found on the
outside (of the oven side). Insert the axis into the rear
bearing located at the top left of the oven, turn to the
left and position the axis on the front in the groove pro-
vided for this purpose. Ensure the flap slides well. To do
this, move it forwards and backwards using the protru-
ding guide at the top.
USE OF THE GUARD
When you want a very hot oven (to sear a food for example), you must release the cent-
re of the oven side fully, in other words push the guard flap towards the back of the oven.
To cook over a gentle heat, do the reverse, in other words, slide the flap until it is in the
middle of the oven.
This is easy to do using the guide protruding at the top section of the guard.
