3.3 Lighting of the device
For every lighting of the device, it is necessary to prepare
a pile of kindling, from small 20 cm pieces of wood about 20
cm in length and no more than 2 or 3 cm in diameter. These
wood chips are placed at the centre of the fireplace to form a
pile, as seen in the image attached. Once the stack is in place,
add two fire packs to the base and close the door fully.
Keep the air vents fully open and wait until the stack of chips
become embers. At this point, add the second load of small
logs of wood to the pre-load and wait again with the door
closed and the air vents completely open until they become
embers.
After the load, the interior of the combustion chamber will reach
sufficient temperature, making it possible to load the device fully and regulate the different air control handles according to heating
needs.
Remember that under cert weather conditions, such as hot days or clouds, ice, rain or humidity, you may have problems lighting.
3.3.1 Top-down lighting
With our H range of thermo fireplaces you can use the top-down lighting method as an alternative to the method described
above. This allows you to take full advantage of this kind of device with the following advantages:
- Even less accumulation of dirt on the glass.
- More efficient and homogeneous combustion and with a greater post-combustion
action.
- Longer duration of fire wood.
- Greater comfort for the user, requiring fewer loads.
For top-down lighting, you need layered fire wood. At the base of the device, place two or three generously sized logs, similar to a
full load. Above them, lay three or four smaller logs similar to those used in the pre-load and finally a small pile of kindling.
Add the fire pack between the second and third layers, below the pile of kindling, close the door and open the air vent handles fully.
When the pile of kindling is consumed, regulate the air according to heating needs and in line with section 2.3 of this manual.
