OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7. To locate the bae in its regular position
follow the indications recommended in the
instructions to dismount the bae.
How do I remove the ash from my stove?
The rebox of your stove has a slotted base so that the ashes produced by the combustion of the
rewood will be deposited in the ashtray.
Check that your stove is cold and proceed to empty the ashtray in a non combustible container,
preferably with a layer of sand on the bottom of it.
Take the ashes outside the house to a safe location. Remember that live coals can remain lit for up to
36 hours. The ash of untreated wood makes an excellent fertilizer for your garden.
IMPORTANT
Always maintain a bed of ash on the inside of the rebox as this
will make the accumulation of live coal and reloading easier.
How do I clean the glass on my stove?
One of the appeals of your Bosca stove is the visible re. However, often this is limited because of
spots that appear on the glass of the stove. To avoid this follow the instructions below:
-The main cause of spots on the glass is directly associated to the use of rewood with high humidity
content together with maintaining the Primary Air Control on “minimum”. Avoid the occurrence of
both by buying dry rewood and storing it correctly and maintaining the Primary Air Control in the
"intermediate" position.
-Periodically clean the glass of your stove with Bosca Glass Cleaning Cream.
CHIMNEY FIRE
What is a chimney re?
Soot and residue resulting from the combustion of rewood are deposited on the ue. These
are called creosote, which is a fuel. Under certain circumstances, the interior of the ue catches
re producing extremely high temperatures that may reach such a level that the ue turns an
incandescent red color.
Incandescent creosote emanations may appear on the upper extreme of the ue.
What should I do in the case of a chimney re?
- Stay calm. A properly installed ue in which the correct materials have been used
should resist the situation without problems.
- Close the door of the stove well and close the Primary Air Control. The re on the
inside of the ue will most probably go out in ve minutes. Do NOT open the door
of the rebox nor of the ashtray until 30 minutes after the chimney re is
extinguished. Otherwise, the re could reignite.
- Keep an eye on the ue, especially in the area of the roof space.
- Remove any fuel that may be near the ue.
- If the situation prolongs excessively or if you suspect the installation was not
properly executed, call the re department immediately.
- Do not use your stove again until it has been checked by a certied technician.
How can I avoid a chimney re?
- The key to avoiding a chimney re is to keep your stove’s gas exhaust system clean.
- To keep the ue clean, your stove must function with a vigorous re. Avoid using your stove
with ameless smoking re.
- Use dry rewood. Humid rewood reduces the temperature of the re and increases the
possibility of a chimney re.
- When reloading your stove, avoid cooling the existing re. Place the Primary Air Control on
“maximum” and try that the new logs heat fast. Only after this has occurred should you adjust
the Primary Air Control to the“intermediate”position.
