7.2.1 TYPE OF FUEL
The normative reference for fuel is UNI ISO 17225-1
"forest logs".
The wood insert is to be fed preferably with mature beech
or birch wood or with lignite briquettes 25 or 33 cm.
Humidity must not exceed 25%.
Each type of wood has different characteristics that also
in uence combustion yield.
Use of pine-wood (pine, r) is not recommended as it
contains high quantities of resin substances that quickly
clog the ue.
It is forbidden to burn: pieces of bark, wood treated with
varnish, pressed wood panels, coal, plastic materials; in
this case, the guarantee on the wood insert is no more
valid.
The declared nominal yield of the chimney is obtained
by burning the right quantity of wood, making sure not
to overload the combustion chamber.
The recommended amount of wood is indicated in the
technical data table.
It is absolutely prohibited to use any kind of coal,
wood treated with protective substances, cardboard
or paper (use only for lighting).
It is prohibited to use the wood insert as an
incinerator. Burning of waste is prohibited in
compliance with laws concerning the emission of
gases. Combusted gases deriving from combustion
and may be harmful to your health.

LIGHTING

• Clean the replace from any ash residues;
• completely open the primary air adjuster ( g.7.1);
• open the re door;
• carefully place the wood pieces inside the combustion
chamber;
• place a natural re starter on the stack;
• add some crossed ne wood sticks;
• light up the re starter from the top
• close the re door
• keep the air vent opened to ensure a high bright
ame
• slightly close the air vent only when proper grill base
is ensured.
7.4

RELOADING THE FUEL

To load fuel inside the machine while it is running, follow
the procedure below:
• Open the re door slowly to prevent the creation of
an air gap inside the replace that would cause the
smoke to escape in the environment (based on the
draught of the fume exhaust duct).
• Reload the replace with fuel and then close the
re door.

Avoid overheating the stove by loading an excessive
amount of fuel.
Insert the fuel only when the grill bases are formed
The stove is provided with a bypass valve that favours
smoke transfer in the fume exhaust duct, minimizing the
smoke puffs in the environment.

CONTROL COMBUSTION

PRIMARY COMBUSTION:
creates the main ame which develops in contact with
the log; it is promoted by introducing air into the grate
through the rear combustion air pipe.
The primary air adjustment takes place via the lever on
the front of the machine ( g.-7.1-); moving it to the right
(-) decreases the primary air intake. It is instead increased
by moving it to the left (+).
With the fire burning, the lever can be positioned
approximately half open according to the draw of the ue
pipe and the amount of air to be supplied.
For the rst ignition of the day, or when using damp wood,
it is advisable to fully open the primary air element to
facilitate ignition.
During operation, the temperature of the registers may
be high, use the glove, as supplied, for their handling in
order to avoid burns

SECONDARY COMBUSTION:

This is obtained by letting preheated air through the holes
at the top of the back panel. As it enters the wood insert
the air lights the unburned gasses (carbon monoxide)
formed during primary combustion and transforms them
into carbon monoxide (CO2). The effect is easy to see by
the formation of a bed of ames around the holes where
the secondary air is let in.
