considered. If you intend to install your stove near an inflammable wall, we advise
you to leave a minimum distance to facilitate cleaning.
- This stove is not suitable for installation in any chimney system shared by other sources.
- The stove should be installed on flooring with adequate support. If your current floor
does not comply with this criterion, it should be adapted with appropriate measures
(for example, a weight distribution plate).
FUEL
- Use only dry wood with a maximum moisture content of 20%. Wood with a moisture
content higher than 50 or 60% does not heat and combusts very badly, and creates
a lot of tar, releases excessive amounts of vapour and deposits excess sediments onto
the stove, glass and smoke outlet.
- The fire should be lit using special fire lighters, or paper and small pieces of wood.
Never try to light the fire using alcohol or similar products.
- Do not burn domestic rubbish, plastic materials or greasy products that can pollute
the environment and lead to risks of fire due to obstruction of the pipes.
FUNCTION
- It is normal for smoke to appear during the first few uses of the stove, as certain
components of the heat-resistant paint burn whilst the pigment of the actual stove is
fixed. Therefore the room should be aired until the smoke disappears.
- The woodstove is not designed to function with the door open under any circumstances.
- The stove is intended to function intermitently with intervals for recharging the fuel.
- For the lighting process of the stove it is recommended you use paper, fire lighters or
small sticks of wood. Once the fire starts to burn, add to it two logs of wood each
weighing 1 to 1.3 kg as a first initial charge. In this lighting process the air inlets of the
stove must be kept completely open. If necessary the drawer for removing ashes can also
be opened to begin with. Once the fire is more intense, close the drawer completely (if
open) and regulate the intensity of the fire by closing and opening the air inlets.
- In order to achieve the stated nominal heat output of this stove a total quantity of 4 kg
of wood (roughly four logs weighing 1 kg each) must be placed inside at intervals of
one hour. The logs should be positioned horizontally and separate from one another,
to assure a correct combustion. In any instance a charge of fuel must not be added
to the stove until the previous charge has been burnt, leaving only a basic fire bed
which is enough to light the next charge but no stronger.
- When using coal instead of wood, recharge the stove with a charge of 2 Kg. at
intervals of an hour and a half. Do not use the stove only with coal.
Please note: prolonged use of the stove with coal will result in the body of the stove
becoming deformed, which whilst not affecting its performance will be noticeable to
the naked eye.
- To achieve a slow combustion you should regulate the fire with the air draughts, which
must be kept permanently unblocked to allow the combustion air to be distributed.
- After the first initial lighting, the brass pieces of the stove may become a coppery colour.
