8. LIGHTING
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. IABSOLUTELY DO NOT LIGHT THE FIRE IN THE Thermo-product 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.
Before installing the facing and lighting the thermo-product, it must be loaded and the system filled from the open expansion tank by means
of the natural fall of the water (see chapter. 2.5).
After ensuring that at least one radiator is always open, open the door and load a small quantity of wood.
After the first ignition you can smell bad odours (owing to the drying of the glue used in the garnitures or of the paint) which disappear after
a brief using of the appliance. A good ventilation of the room should always be guaranteed.
ATTENTION: during the first lightings there could be a solid smokes condensation with a small escape of water from the thermo-
product: this event will expire in a very short time but if it persists it will be necessary to check the chimney draught.
T light the fire, it is suggested to use small wood pieces together with paper or other traded lighting means.
It is FORBIDDEN to use any liquid substance as for ex. alcohol, gasoline, oil and similar.
The openings for the air (primary and secondary) must be opened at the same time only for a short period (the butterfly valve positioned
on the fumes outlet pipe must also be opened).
When wood starts to burn, it is possible to feed it again by opening slowly the door, in order to avoid leaks of smoke, and close the primary
air register and control the combustion through the secondary air register according to the provisions of CHAP.
present during this phase.
Never overload the appliance (see the technical table - max. quantity of fuel that can be loaded / hourly consumption).
Too much fuel and too much air for combustion can cause overheating and therefore damage the same.
Never switch on the device when there are combustible gases in the room.
To perform a correct first lighting of the products treated with paints for high temperature, it is necessary to know the following information:
• the construction materials of the involved products are not homogeneous, in fact there are simultaneously parts in cast iron, steel,
refractory material and majolica;
• the temperature to which the body of the product is subject is not homogeneous: from area to area, variable temperatures within
the range of 300°C - 500°C are detected;
• during its life, the product is subject to alternated lighting and extinguishing cycles in the same day, as well as to cycles of intense
use or of absolute standstill when season changes;
• the new appliance, before being considered seasoned has to be subject to many start cycles to allow all materials and paints to
complete the various elastic stresses;
• in detail, initially it is possible to remark the emission of smells typical of metals subject to great thermal stress, as well as of wet
paint. This paint, although during the manufacture it is backed at 250 °C for some hours, must exceed many times and for a given
period of time the temperature of 350 °C before becoming completely embedded in the metallic surfaces.
Therefore, it is extremely relevant to take these easy steps during the lighting:
1. Make sure that a strong air change is assured in the room where the appliance is installed.
2. During the first starts, do not load excessively the combustion chamber (about half the quantity indicated in the instructions manual)
and keep the product continuously ON for at least 6-10 hours with the registers less open than the value indicated in the instructions
manual.
3. Repeat this operation for at least 4-5 or more times, according to your possibilities.
4. Then load more and more fuel (following in any case the provisions contained in the installation booklet concerning maximum load)
and, if possible, keep the lighting periods long avoiding, at least in this initial phase, short ON/OFF cycles.
5. During the first starts, no object should be leaned on the appliance and in detail on enamelled surfaces. Enamelled surfaces must
not be touched during heating.
6. Once the «break-in» has been completed, it is possible to use the product as the motor of a car, avoiding abrupt heating with
excessive loads.
8.1. NORMAL OPERATION
After having positioned the registers correctly, insert the indicated hourly wood load avoiding overloads that cause anomalous stresses
and deformations. You should always use the product with the door closed in order to avoid damages due to overheating (forge
effect). The inobservance of this rule makes the warranty expire.
ATTENTION: For no reason must the fire be ignited before the system has been completely filled with water; doing this would
lead to serious damage of the entire structure.
The appliances with automatic door closure (type 1) must function, for safety reasons, with the door of the fireplace closed (except to load
fuel or to remove ash).
The appliances that do not have automatic door closure (type 2) must be connected to their own flue. Functioning with the door open is
only allowed under surveillance.
IMPORTANT: For safety reasons the door of the hearth can be opened only for the loading of the fuel. The hearth door must
always remain closed during operation or rest.
With the registers located on the front of the device, it is possible to adjust the heat emission of the same. They have to be opened
