USING WOOD>CONTINUOUS FIRE
With quality wood such as oak or very dry beech wood, it is possible to
have a
fi
re burning continuously for 8-10 hours or even more. To build
a slow
fi
re that can last a long time while at the same time keeping the
window clean:
• Set the UPPER AIR SUPPLY control to maximum
• Leave it at maximum until the
fi
re is burning strongly.
• Re
fi
ll the appliance in the manner described above. Do not use round
pieces of wood or logs that have not been split as they risk rolling against
the glass pane and dirtying it.
• Then lower the intensity to almost minimum
(It is not advised to completely close the air inlet, instead leave it slightly
open to encourage the self-cleaning of the glass pane.)
• In the event that your chimney has a strong draw, it would be necessary
to close the air inlet more than with a chimney with a weak draw. See
also the section on “Setting the minimum air intake”, page 21.

USING WOOD>ADDING LOGS
To prevent smoke fumes from entering the room while adding wood and
to ensure a rapid recovery of the hearth, do as follows:
• Re
fi
ll the appliance only when there is no longer an ember bed.
• Set the UPPER AIR SUPPLY to maximum
• Open the door slowly and leave it ajar for 30 seconds. Then open it
completely and place the fresh logs onto the embers.
• Close the hearth door. While the
fi
re starts up again, set it to the
desired intensity with the UPPER AIR SUPPLY control (or use the remote
control: press the – button).
