Focolare 80 Idro Crystal - DSA
SERIES
For a better comfort and corresponding oxygenation of
environment, the combustion air can be directly
withdrawn at the outside through a junction (d. 120 mm
Picture 14 pos.A) which is to be connected with a flexible
pipe (not furnished)for the external air intake. The
connection pipe must be flat with a minimum diameter of
120 mm, a maximum length of 4 m and with no more
than 3 bends. If there is a direct connection with the
outside it must be endowed with a special windbreak.

ADMISSIBLE / PROHIBITED FUELS

The admissible fuel is wood logs. Only logs of dried wood may be used (max. water content 20%).
The wood used as fuel must have a moisture content of 20% or less and must be stored in a dry and airy place (for
example, under a roof) for one year at least (soft wood) or two years (hard wood). Damp wood makes lighting more
difficult, as a greater quantity of energy is required to evaporate the water present. The moisture content also has the
disadvantage that, when the temperature lowers, the water condenses first in the hearth and therefore in the chimney.
Fresh wood contains about 60% of H2O and it is therefore not suitable to be burnt.
The following (among others) may not be burnt: coal, scraps, waste of bark and panels, damp or painted
wood, plastic materials. Burning any of these materials will void the warranty on the appliance.
Paper and cardboard should only be used for lighting. Burning rubbish is prohibited and would damage the thermo-
fireplace and the chimney, by causing health damages and claims from neighbourhood by virtue of smelling disturb.
Wood is not a long-lasting fuel so that it is not possible to have a continuous heating all over the night by the thermo-
fireplace.
ATTENTION: the continuous and protracted use of aromatic wood (eucalyptus, myrtle, tc.) quickly damages
the cast iron parts (cleavage) of the product.

LIGHTING AND FUNCTIONAL TEST

ATTENTION: never light for any reason if the installation is not completely full of water in order to avoid a
serious damage of the whole structure.
Before installing the facing and lighting the thermo-fireplace, it must be loaded and the system filled from the open
expansion tank by means of the natural fall of the water (see chapter 8).
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT LIGHT THE FIRE IN THE THERMO-FIREPLACE IN THE TOTAL OR PARTIAL ABSENCE
OF WATER (NOT EVEN FOR CHECKING), AS IT COULD BE IRREMEDIABLY RUINED. IN SUCH CASE THE
WARRANTY ON THE APPLIANCE IS VOIDED.
After ensuring that at least one radiator is always open, open the door and load a small quantity of wood.
To light the fire, we recommend using small sticks of wood with paper or other means for lighting that are found on the
market. It is FORBIDDEN to use any liquid substance as for ex. alcohol, gasoline, oil or similar.
Open the primary air completely (lever at the right Picture 1).When the wood begins to burn, you can load more by
slowly opening (raising) the door to prevent smoke from getting out, and adjust the combustion air (register) according
to the indications given in Chapter 10.
Never overload the appliance (check the table of specifications - max. quantity of fuel loadable/hourly consumption
(see Chapter 18).
