STARTUP (FIRST IGNITIONS)

WARNING!! The thermo-stove must never work without water inside the system. In only one ignition without water the
thermo-stove could be extremely damaged.
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 insert 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 thermo-stove, it is necessary to follow the next steps:
a. Open the combustion chamber door. Open completely the regulator of the primary air intake and the regulator of the secondary air
intake (in models adjustable) (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 stove 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) in order to control the heat
emission of the thermo-stove. 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 draft 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.
INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
In this thermo-stove, the 3 bar overpressure or safety valve supplied with it will be
placed in the ½" connection on the rear, on the top left (seen from behind) and
corresponds to the connection on the right (see drawing D7.9):
