Dear customer,
Early in the twentieth century, Henri-Paul Pellaprat*, French Grand
Master Chef, wrote:
“True values and just principles
never diminish with age”
At the begining of this new millenium, and for the years to come, the
above phrase is, and shall remain, the guiding principle of our com-
pany.
Authenticity without artifice and innovation in the respect of time-
honoured traditions are the guiding forces behind each step in the
creation of each of our cookers.
Which is why every cooker we build has a soul.
With every recipe, the versatility and conviviality of your cooker will
become more and more apparent, along with the added touch of
warmth and atmosphere it lends to your home.
This booklet not only provides instructions for use, but also several
rules to follow which will facilitate the maintenance of your “La
Cornue”.
We thank you for your trust.

Bleu. Public training officer, Chevalier of the Agricultural Order of Merit.

SECTION FOR USERS Ignition. Loading
Using a liquid detergent with ammonia, remove the protective varnish covering the
appliance's cast-iron top.
The stove should be first used at very low heat for several hours. On the other hand,
if the chimney, having not been used for some time, is cold and damp, you may have
draught problems. It is therefore recommended that you burn wood in the appliance to
warm up and dry out the chimney and initiate the draught.
If, after several days and despite these precautions, the appliance still does not work pro-
perty with the appropriate fuel, call in a specialist to check the installation.
For coal, remove the round hatch using the tongs.
In the case of use with wood, you will need to remove the front and rear firebox plates
(see page 6) which will enable 50 cm logs to be inserted into the firebox. These plates will
be reinserted when using coal.
SECTION FOR USERS
1. BEFORE INITIAL IGNITION
2. INITIAL IGNITION
3. LOADING THE FIREBOX
Place letter B of the round hatch (for wood),
C (for coal) opposite the arrow located on the
fire plate.
For wood, remove the fire plate using the
tongs.

Lighting the stove SECTION FOR USERS
Open the oven door and pull the direct outlet control ring on the front towards you (you
will notice that this ring itself holds the door slightly ajar if it is unscrewed one quarter
turn, the burner resting on the front).
Open the air control lever fully by adjusting the adjustment lever in position "4".
Place crumpled paper and kindling intertwined in the firebox grate, without packing it
down. Lift the whole lot slightly and light the paper using a match then cover with a thin
layer of coal or logs. Close the loading hatch or the fire plate.
As soon as the fuel is well lit, load the firebox, push the direct outlet ring back in, adjust
the air control lever to the desired level (low for the first operation).
Loading the firebox 3/4 full provides, depending on the fuel used, the operating times spe-
cified in the table under OPERATIONAL FEATURES.
To run the stove on coal, close the secondary air inlet damper by pulling it towards the
front of the appliance.
To run the stove on wood, open the secondary air inlet damper by pushing it towards the
back of the appliance. You can then use 50 cm logs.
Once the cleaning and loading have been done, the loading doors and hatches must always
remain firmly closed.
If you leave the firebox or ash pan door open, you risk burning at abnormal speeds which
may have serious detrimental effects.
Wait until the remaining embers are just glowing before loading.
Load the firebox three quarters full.
Adjust the air control lever to between 0 and 1 according to the chimney draught.
To resume burning in the morning, open the air control lever fully. De-ash after several
minutes and reload. Do not forget to put the air control lever back to the appropriate level
for the desired output.

SECTION FOR USERS 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.
