B.- Primary air regulation.
The flow of air for the combustion is let in using the primary air valves Fig 14
(10).
Note: These valves are turned to permit the entrance of air. When these
valves are turned clockwise they let air in and when they are turned anti clockwise
they let air out.
It is recommended to fully open the primary air valves to allow a sufficient
amount of air to pass through for combustion to help the fire to burn and to prevent
the formation of tar.
This must be done when the fire is first lit so that the chimney heats up
rapidly preventing condensation and the formation of tar (soot).
It is very important that plenty of fuel is used to light the fire but afterwards
you can regulate the amount of fuel according to the amount of heat you want.
Once the chimney has heated up you must regulate the flow of air to the
combustion area.
The chimney should be heated on cold days, in winter, particularly
early in the morning after a frost. To heat the chimney put paper on the
wrought iron deflector and set it alight. Repeat this operation as many times
as necessary until the chimney is hot.
TAKE CARE! If you are going to handle the applicance when it is
alight, either to regulate its combustion or to refuel it, you must protect your
hands using heat proof gloves as all the parts of the chimney get very hot
when it is in operation.
The CRETE stove is not designed to be used with a shared chimney.
The first time you light your fire you should open the windows to get rid of any
smoke and odours which could be produced when the solvents in the protective
paint, or any other material, are burned.
A.- Glass panes in the doors.
1- Cleaning
2- Foam based glass cleaners are quite effective.
Never attempt to clean the glass while the stove is lit. We recommend the
use of HERGÓM glass cleaners when the glass is cold
2. Replacement
In the case of accidental damage the glass must be replaced by another
pane of glass of the same specifications. Please contact our agent so that he may
supply you with the correct pane of glass together with the instructions for its
assembly and joins.
A.- Cleaning out the ashes.
Using a protective glove pull out the steel grill and remove the ashes with a
special vacuum cleaner for removing ashes which you can buy from any good
stockists.
lV.- CLEANING.
