Characteristics of the fuel
Only burn natural, untreated wood with maximum 20% humidity.
Freshly cut wood can contain up to 60% water and is therefore not suitable for burning.
Wood is ideally dried for approximately 2 years. Wood that is too old is also unsuitable for burning.
The wood must be kept and dried in a well-ventilated place, and if it is outdoors it needs to be protected against the rain, if it is indoors
there needs to be good air circulation.
Store the wood already cut to size for use so that it can dry easily.
The wood can be kept in stacks, being careful to keep it raised off the ground, with a supporting surface that allows air to pass, such
as, for example, boards or pallets that help it dry and avoid the formation of rot and damp. For the same reason it is a good idea to
leave a few centimetres of space between stack and wall.
If unseasoned wood is used with a high percentage of humidity, this may create condensation in the smoke ducts, thereby altering
the draught and causing soot to deposit in the firebox, on the glass and in the chimney with the risk of it catching fire. Obviously the
chimney will yield less.
Wood logs with a maximum length of 50 cm (Chronos, Hercules) or 65 cm (Zeus, Hermes) must be used in the wood insert.

Non-permitted fuels

We recommend not using the following materials as fuel:
•
excessively humid wood
•
treated wood (painted, lacquered, glued wood etc.);
•
sawdust or chips
•
liquid fuel
•
coal or other fossil fuels
•
plastic and derivatives
•
treated paper and cardboard
•
waste
•
fuels that release toxic or polluting substances
Using these fuels, on top of being forbidden due to the emission of polluting and harmful substances, causes the chimney to deteriorate
more rapidly and debris to accumulate in the chimney and in the smoke evacuation system, thereby reducing performance and safety.
The gases produced by these fuels are dangerous for the environment and for your health!
Using fuel that is not compliant with the above will void the warranty.

SHIPPING AND INSTALLATION

Safety warnings for transportation and installation

! IMPORTANT
! IMPORTANT
The chimney needs to be connected to a single chimney that guarantees the draught declared by the Manufactur-
er and observes the installation regulations that apply to the installation site.
The room where the chimney is installed must have an air intake.
The Manufacturer will not be held liable for installation that is not compliant with the laws in force, incorrect air circulation in the rooms
and inappropriate use of the appliance.
In particular, it is necessary:
•
that the appliance be connected to a smoke evacuation system duly sized to guarantee the draught declared by the Manufacturer,
that is tight and observes the distances from flammable materials;
•
that there is a suitable combustion air intake in compliance with the type of installed product;
•
that other installed combustion appliances or devices do not create a vacuum in the room where the chimney is installed;
•
that the safety distances from flammable materials are observed.
Verification of system compatibility has a priority over any other assembly or installation operation.
! IMPORTANT
Use and maintenance manual Chronos, Zeus, Ercole e Ermes
The chimney must be installed by a qualified technician, who must issue a declaration
of conformity of the system to the purchaser, taking full responsibility for chimney
installation and correct operation.
The chimney installation site must be chosen so that the generated heat can spread evenly
throughout the rooms that you wish to heat.
Local administrative regulations and particular requirements of the authorities pertaining
to the installation of combustion appliances, the air intake and the smoke evacuation
system, may vary based on region or nation. Check with your local authorities if there are
stricter laws than set forth herein.
