4 FOR THE USER
4.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
During operation, the stoves get quite hot,
especially on the top, the head and the fire box door.
For this reason, firewood must be loaded only by
adults who are familiar with the use of the stove.
Children and/or persons who are not skilled in using
the stove should be kept away from it.
Always use the glove provided when opening
the door during operation. Never for any
reason whatsoever use liquid fuels such as
alcohol, petrol, kerosene etc...
Do not use petroleum or chemical based
lighting aids as they can damage the sides of
the firebox. Do not burn painted wood. Use only
ecological fire lighting aids. Do not use the stove
if it is operating abnormally. Do not clean it until
the structure and ashes have cooled completely.
It is forbidden to use the stove as a garbage
incinerator.
If there is a chimney fire, try to shut down the
stove and call the fire department.
4.2 LIGHTING THE FIRST TIMES
The first time you light your fireplace the flames
should burn at a moderate rate for approximately
an hour to enable complete settling of any
masonry fillings on the smoke fitting and drying
of the protective materials of the metallic parts.
During the first lighting, you may notice
unpleasant odours and smoke due to the drying
or evaporation of some of the materials. This
effect will gradually wear off after a few days.
•
Light the fire by placing rolled-up paper in the fire
box. Cover paper using thin, dry sticks of wood
so that the fire will spread as quickly as possible.
•
Completely open the primary (combustion) air
register
•
Open the combustion air register all the way
as shown in the figure alongside. If the fire box
is cold, the stove can be lit with the door ajar
to favour evaporation of the condensation that
forms on the glass.
•
You can now set the paper on fire.
•
Once the fire is lit, you can add larger pieces
of wood, provided they are dry, up to half of the
amount of wood recommended in the technical
data table.
•
Place the wood horizontally. It is absolutely
forbidden to arrange it in vertical position.
•
Once combustion has started, close the door for
improved yield and reduced wood consumption.
•
• When the flames start to die down a bit and a
bed of embers has formed, you can load the fire
box with a normal amount of wood.
•
• The door should be opened gradually to enable
the fireplace smoke to be suctioned out by the
flue, thus avoiding smoke in the interior.
4.3 TYPE OF FUEL
Your stove needs to burn well-dried wood,
preferably
beech.
preferably be fuelled with well-seasoned beech
wood. keep in mind that each type of wood has
its own heat value which effects combustion
yield. Regardless of the type of wood you decide
to use, it must be split to allow evaporation of
humidity. This will cause the wood to catch fire
at a lower temperature.
Use only well seasoned and dry wood, which
must not exceed the maximum length of 25 cm.
Wood overloading may cause abnormal stress
which may degrade the refractory materials of the
fire box; ; we recommend you not to exceed the
nominal charge.
DAMAGE DUE TO AN EXCESSIVE LOAD OF
WOOD OR BECAUSE COAL WAS USED AS
FUEL IS NOT COVERED BY THE PRODUCT
GUARANTEE AND IS TO BE CONSIDERED
THE LIABILITY OF THE USER.
