NORMAL OPERATION
After positioning the dampers correctly, insert the hourly load of wood indicated, avoiding
overloads that cause abnormal stresses and deformations (as described in the TECHNICAL
DESCRIPTION section). The product must always be used with the door closed to avoid
damage due to overheating (forging effect). Failure to do so will invalidate the warranty. For
safety reasons, the door of appliances with construction system 1 must be opened only to load fuel
or remove ashes, while during operation and the rest of the time the firebox door must remain
closed.
Appliances with construction system 2 must be connected to their own flue. Operation with the
door open is permitted under supervision.
IMPORTANT: For safety reasons, the firebox door may only be opened to load fuel. The
firebox door must always remain closed during operation or when the appliance is not in
use.
The controls on the front of the appliance can be used to regulate the heat output from the
fireplace. They should be opened according to the heat output required. The best combustion (with
minimum emissions) is achieved when, when loading the wood, most of the combustion air passes
through the secondary air register.
Never overload the appliance (see the hourly wood load in the table below). Too much fuel and
too much air for combustion can cause overheating and damage the stove. Always operate the
appliance with the door closed to avoid damage due to overheating (forge effect). Failure to
comply with this rule will invalidate the warranty.
The damper settings required to achieve the nominal heat output with a chimney negative
pressure of 12 Pa (1.2 mm water column) are as follows: see TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION. The
appliance operates as an intermittent appliance. In addition to regulating the air for combustion,
the intensity of combustion and therefore the thermal performance of the appliance are influenced
by the chimney. A good chimney draught requires tighter combustion air control, while a poor
chimney draught requires more precise combustion air control.
To check that combustion is going well, check that the smoke coming out of the chimney is clear.
If it is white, it means that the appliance is not properly adjusted or that the wood is too damp; if, on
the other hand, the smoke is grey or black, it means that combustion is not complete (more
secondary air is needed).
WARNING: When fuel is added to the embers in the absence of a flame, a considerable
amount of smoke can develop. If this happens, an explosive mixture of gas and air can form
and, in extreme cases, an explosion can occur. For safety reasons, it is advisable to carry
out a new lighting procedure using small strips.
USE OF OVEN (IF PRESENT)
Set the smoke control to the OVEN OPERATION position (see section TECHNICAL
DESCRIPTION).
The temperature of the oven can be considerably affected by the flow of combustion air. Sufficient,
well-cleaned flue and exhaust ducts around the oven are essential for good cooking results. Thick
cakes and large pieces of ricotta should be introduced at the lowest level. Flat cakes and biscuits
should be introduced at the middle level. The upper level can be used for heating or toasting.
The oven plate and the chrome-plated oven rack can be located on different levels (see Technical
Description - ACCESSORIES section). When cooking very moist foods, fruit cakes or fruit itself,
condensation will be produced. During the cooking process, water vapor in the form of condensed
water droplets may settle on the top and sides of the door. This is a physical phenomenon.
By briefly and carefully opening the door (1 or 2 times, or even often for longer cooking times), you
can evacuate the steam from the cooking compartment and considerably reduce condensation.
