The air inlets must meet the following requirements:
• they must be protected with grids, metal mesh, etc., but without reducing the net useful section;
• they must be made so as to make the maintenance operations possible;
• positioned so that they cannot be obstructed;
• Any extractor hoods in the room where the device is installed must not operate at the same time as this could cause smoke to enter
the room, even with the fireplace's door closed.
The clean and non-contaminated air flow can also be obtained from a room adjacent to that of installation (indirect aeration and
ventilation), as long as the flow takes place freely through permanent openings communicating with the outside.
The adjacent room cannot be used as a garage, or to store combustible material or for any other activity with a fire hazard, bathroom,
bedroom or common room of the building.
Ventilation is deemed sufficient when the room is equipped with air inlets according to the table:
Installation in premises with fire hazards is forbidden. Installation in residential premises in which, in any case, the depression measured
during installation between the internal and external environment is greater than 4 Pa .
All national, regional, provincial and municipal laws and standards in force in the country where the appliance is installed must be
complied with.

ALLOWED / NOT ALLOWED FUELS
Allowed fuels are logs. Use exclusively dry logs (max. content of water 20%). Maximum 3 logs should be loaded. The pieces of wood
should have a length of ca. 20-30 cm and a maximum circumference of 30-35 cm.
Compressed not worked-out wood briquettes must be used carefully to avoid overheating that may damage the device, since these
have a very high calorific value.
The wood used as fuel must have a humidity content lower than the 20% and must be stored in a dry place. Humid wood tends to burn
less easily, since it is necessary a greater quantity of energy to let the existing water evaporate. Moreover, humid content involves the
disadvantage that, when temperature decreases, the water condensates earlier in the hearth and therefore in the stack causing a
remarkable deposit of soot with following possible risk of fire of the same.
Fresh wood contains about 60% of H2O, therefore it is not suitable to be burnt.
It is necessary to place this wood in a dry and ventilated place (for example under a roof) for at least two years before using it.
Besides others, it is not possible to burn: carbon, cuttings, waste of bark and panels, humid wood or wood treated with paints,
plastic materials; in this case, the warranty on the device becomes void.
Paper and cardboard must be used only to light the fire.
The combustion of waste is FORBIDDEN and would even damage the appliance and the flue, causing health damages and claims by the
neighborhood owing to the bad smell.
The wood is not a fuel which allows a continuous operation of the appliance, as consequence the heating all over the night is not
possible.
! ATTENTION : the continuous and protracted use of aromatic wood (eucalyptus, myrtle etc.) quickly damages the cast iron parts
(cleavage) of the product.
The declared technical data have been achieved by burning beech wood class "A1" according to the requirement and wood moisture
content less than 20%. By burning a different kind of wood the efciency of the product itself could change and some specifc adjustments
on the appliance could be needed.
