ATTENTION : the continuous and protracted use of aromatic wood (eucalyptus, myrtle etc.) quickly damages the
cast iron parts (cleavage) of the product.
The declared technical data have been achieved by burning beech wood class "A1" according to the requirement UNI EN ISO 17225-
5 and wood moisture content less than 20%. By burning a different kind of wood the efficiency of the product itself could change and
some specific adjustments on the appliance could be needed.
LIGHTING
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.
To 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.
Open the primary air completely.
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 chapter TECHNICAL
DESCRIPTION.
Please always be 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.
After testing the proper working of the appliance, some days from the installation, it is possible to proceed with
the construction of its aesthetic covering.
WARNING: During the surround building operations it must kept in mind possible and subsequent electrical installed parts
maintenance (Fans, temperature probe, etc) and with hydraulic systems all parts connected to the thermo-fireplace.
