IGNITION AND NORMAL OPERATION

In order to do a good ignition of the thermo-stove, it is necessary to follow the next steps:
a. Open the combustion chamber door. Open completely the regulator of the primary air intake and the regulator of the secondary air
intake (in models adjustable) (see section 2).
b. Insert a fire starter or a paper ball and some wood splinters into the chamber.
c. Light the paper or the splinter. Close the door slowly and leave it half-open 10 or 15 minutes while the glass is heated.
d. When there is flame enough, open the door slowly in order to avoid smoke returns and load the stove with dry wood logs. Close the
door slowly.
e. When the logs are lit, use the regulators located on the frontal part (primary and secondary air intake) in order to control the heat
emission of the thermo-stove. These regulators should be opened according to the heating needs. The best combustion (with minimum
emissions) is reached when the main part of the air for the combustion passes through the secondary air regulator.
In addition to the air regulation for the combustion, the draft also affects the intensity of the combustion and the heating performance of
your equipment. A good draft of the fireplace needs a reduced regulation of the air for the combustion, while a lack of draft needs a good
regulation of the air for the combustion.
Due to safety reasons, the door must remain closed when the fireplaces is being used. You should only open the door for loading the
fuel.
In order to refill the fuel, open the door slowly, open the primary air intake, introduce the wood and close the door. After 3-5 minutes, return to
the combustion recommended regulation.
Do not overload the equipment (see maximum fuel load). Too much fuel and too much air for the combustion can cause the
overheating and, therefore, damage the equipment. The non-compliance of this rule shall invalidate the warranty.

10. SERVICING AND CARE

The thermo-stoves, the chimney and, in general, the whole installation, must be cleaned completely at least once a year or when
necessary.
WARNING!! Maintenance and servicing operations must be done when the insert is cold.
10.1.

CLEANING THE CHIMNEY

When the wood is burnt slowly, it produces tars and other organic vapours that combined with the humidity they create the creosote (soot).
An excessive accumulation of soot may cause problems in the smoke outlet and even the smoke duct may suffer a fire. A chimney sweep
should perform this task and, at the same time, examine the smoke duct. During the cleaning tasks, it is necessary to remove the ash pan,
the grille and the smoke baffle plate in order to makes easier the fall of the soot.
It is recommended to use anti-soot envelopes during the operation of the insert at least once a week. These envelopes are placed directly on
the fire and you can buy them in the same Bronpi distributor where you bought your thermo-stoves.
10.2.

CLEANING THE GLASS

IMPORTANT:
Clean the glass only when it is cold in order to avoid that it explodes.
You can use specific products such as vitro ceramic-cleaning products. Do not use aggressive or abrasive products that stain the
glass.
You can find Bronpi vitro ceramic-cleaning product in the same Bronpi distributor where you bought your fireplaces.
BREAKAGE OF GLASSES: the glasses, as they are vitro ceramic, resist until 750ºC and they are not subject to thermal shocks. The
breakage can only be caused by mechanical shocks (crashes or violent closing of the door, etc). Therefore, its replacement is not
included in the warranty.
10.3.

CLEANING THE ASH

All thermo-stoves have an ash pan for the ash collection.
We recommend emptying the ash pan regularly in order to avoid that it is full completely so that the grille does not overheat. Moreover, we
recommend leaving 2-3 cm of ash on the base.
10.4.

EXTERNAL CLEANING

Do not clean the external surface of the thermo-stove with water or abrasive products because they may damage the fireplace. Use a feather
duster or a rag a bit wet.

11. SEASONAL STOPPAGES

After cleaning the chimney and the insert by removing the ash and other residues, close all doors and regulators.
It is recommended to clean the chimney at least once a year. Meanwhile, check the joints because if they are not in good condition (they do
not adjust to the door), they do not guarantee the proper operation of the thermo-stove. For this reason, it would be necessary to change
them. You can find this spare part in the same Bronpi distributor where you bought your fireplace.
If there is humidity in the place where the thermo-stove is installed, put absorbent salts inside the equipment. Protect the internal parts with
neutral vaseline in order to keep the appearance along the time.
