ADMITTED/NOT ADMITTED FUEL
The fuels admitted are wood logs. One must use only logs of dry wood
logs should be 30 cm's long and 30 cm's max in circumference.
The wood used as fuel must have a moisture contents lower than 20 %, which is obtained after at least 1 year drying
(tender wood) or 2 years (hard wood) and must be stored in a dry and ventilated place (for ex. under a shed). The wet
wood makes ignition more difficult because it is necessary a greater quantity of energy to evaporate the existing
water. The humid contents has the disadvantage that, with the temperature lowering, the water condensates first in
the hearth and then in the chimney. The unseasoned wood contains about 60 % of H20, then it is not suitable to be
burnt. The following cannot be burnt: rests of coal, cutoffs, parts of barks and panels, wet wood or treated
with varnished, plastic materials. In this case the guarantee on the appliance lapses. Paper and carton must
be used only for ignition.
The combustion of wastes is forbidden by national law on the protection against emissions. This may damage the
stove and the chimney, causing health damages and claims by the neighbourhood owing to the bad smell.
The wood is not a fuel which allows a continuous operation of the appliance, as consequence the heating all over the
night is not possible.

ATTENTION: the continuous and protracted use of aromatic wood (eucalyptus, myrtle etc.) quickly damages the cast
iron parts (cleavage) of the product.

AIR ENTRANCE INTO THE INSTALLATION PLACE DURING THE COMBUSTION
As the stoves take their combustion air from the installation place, it is essential that a sufficient quantity of air is
introduced in the installation room itself.
In case of tight doors and windows (for example houses built according to the energy saving criteria) it is possible that
the air entrance is not guaranteed, compromising the draught, the welfare and the security of the people. It is
necessary to guarantee a further air entrance through a external air intake, to be positioned in the nearby of the
appliance or through air connection towards outside or a near ventilated room, with the exception of thermal units
place or garages (FORBIDDEN).
The air entrance for combustion into the installation place must not be closed during the operation of the
absolutely necessary that in the environment in which the stoves operate with the natural flue of the chimney, it is
introduced as much air as necessary for the combustion, i.e. up to 20 m
The natural recirculation of air must be ensured by some fixed openings on the outside. The size of the necessary
openings for air is fixed by the relevant prescriptions. Ask information to your chimney sweeper. The openings should
be protected with grids and should never be obstructed.
An extraction hood (aspirating) installed in the same room or in a room nearby, causes depression with output of
combusted gasses (smoke, smell). As consequence it is necessary to ensure more flow of fresh air.
The depression in an extraction hood can at worst hypothesis, transforms the flue into an external air intake,
by sucking the smokes of the rooms with dangerous consequences for the people.

LIGHTING
IMPORTANT: the first time that the appliance is lit, there will be an odour given off (due to the drying of the
adhesives of the junction chord), which disappears after a short use. It must be ensured, in any case, a good
ventilation of the environment. Upon the first ignition we suggest loading a reduced quantity of fuel and slightly
increasing the calorific value of the equipment.
To perform a correct first lighting of the products treated with paints for high temperature, it is necessary to
know the following information:
