Among others, it is not allowed to use: coal, barks and panels, damp firewood or with paint or plastic materials. In these cases, the
warranty of the fireplace shall terminate. It is forbidden to use waste and it would damage the equipment.
Paper and cardboard should only be used during the ignition.

STARTUP (FIRST IGNITIONS)

In order to ignite the fire, we recommend using small wood strips with paper or other means such as fire starters.
It is forbidden to use liquid substances such as alcohol, gasoline, petroleum or similar products.
WARNING!! At the beginning, it is possible that you note smoke or smell which are typically produced when metals are subject to
high temperatures or when the paint is still fresh.
Never ignite the equipment when there are combustible gases in the environment.
In order to do a proper start-up of the products treated with paints used at high temperatures, it is important to consider the following
conditions:
• The materials of the products are not homogenous due to the fact that there are cast-iron parts and steel parts.
• The temperature of the product-s body is not uniform: among different zones there are variable temperatures between 300°C and
500°C.
• During its lifetime, the product is subject to ignitions stoppages even in the same day, as well as intensive use or not use depending
on the season.
• The equipment, at the beginning, must be subject to different start-up cycles so that all materials and the paint can complete different
elastic expansions.
Therefore, it is important to adopt these measures during the ignition phase:
1. Assure that there is a good air refill in the place where the equipment is installed.
2. During the 4 o 5 first ignitions, do not load excessively the combustion chamber and keep the fireplace lit during at least 6-10 hours
continuously.
3. Then, load it more, respecting the recommended load and try to leave the fireplace lit the maximum time as possible, trying to avoid
short ignition periods.
4. During the first ignitions, you should not place any object on the equipment and, in particular, on lacquered surfaces. Lacquered
surfaces should not be touched while the equipment is heated.

IGNITION AND NORMAL OPERATION

In order to do a good ignition of the fireplace, it is necessary to follow the next steps:
a. Open the door. Open completely the regulator of the primary air intake, the regulator of the secondary air intake and open the draft-
diverter valve (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 fireplace 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 and the draft-diverter valve)
in order to control the heat emission of the fireplace. 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 draw 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.

SERVICING AND CARE

The fireplace, 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 fireplace is cold.
These tasks are not covered by the warranty.
