obtain a better draught. To light the fire, you can
use well dried wood, very subtly cut, together with
the specific products you can find in commerce.
The combustion may be difficult as long as the
chimney is cold. The necessary time depends on
the chimney and on the weather conditions. When
the fire becomes powerful you must turn off the

AIR REGULATION

On each model there are two air regulations: ex-
ternal air intake lever, primary and secondary air
regulation.
The entrance of comburent air inside the cooker is
regulated by a valve ruled by a lever placed below
the ash door. The valve is closed in the right posi-
tion while is open in the left position. To regulate
this device, see picture 29. In case of model with
flue outlet on the left, the regulation of the lever is
symmetrical (valve closed in the left position, open
in the right position)
The primary air regulator, located in the front of
the cooker, is ruled by a graduate hand grip which
regulates the combustion speed. Low values en-
sure less power and bigger autonomy. High values
ensure more power and less autonomy. The regu-
lator is automatic and maintains steady the heating
produced by the cooker.

key in order to force the fume to heat the other
parts of the thermal cooker. The thermal cooker is
designed to work with the key turned off, the use
with the key opened does not allow the thermal
cooker to work at its best and may cause overheat-
ing and consequent damages.
The secondary air is set automatically according
both to the setting of opening of the air entrance
lever and to the primary air lever and the effective
working conditions and draught of the device.
The air introduced in correspondence of the fire
door is fixed and set to allow an optimal combus-
tion and, in case of RTVE thermal cookers, to keep
clean the glass.
When the thermal cooker is cold, we suggest to
close the lever below the ash door and set the pri-
mary air regulator to value 0, in order to limit the
undesired air flow that may cause an anticipated
cooling of the device and the room. This operation
is particularly important when the external air in-
take of the cooker is directly connected. Generally,
for an optimal working of the device, it is suggest-
ed to follow the indications for the regulation of air
reported in table 4.
