3. With the appliance door open, place thin logs or
twigs on the bottom of the appliance.
4. On top of these thin logs, forming a kind of Jenga
Tower, place a few more strips of wood/twigs,
always leaving space between them for proper air
circulation.
5. Bear in mind that when lighting the fire, the total
load of firewood cannot exceed 2kg. Place 1 pine
cone or 1 or 2 firelighters on top of the twigs and,
with the help of a match or long lighter, light the fire.
6. Lean the door and do not close it completely. This
spacing should be just enough to guarantee a small
air intake that, on the one hand, prevents
condensation on the glass, but on the other, does
not allow smoke to escape.
7. When the fire is well lit, you can then close the
door completely, using the closing lever.
The ignition phase will take between 15 to 45
minutes.
During the rest of the fire time, the stove door must
remain closed, except for refueling the device.
Note: If you notice that the outside conditions are
adverse (strong winds, snow, dense fog, rain, very
cold) you can preheat your device by placing a lit
candle for 10 to 15 minutes inside the equipment.
After this period, you can remove the candle and
start the fire more easily, following steps 1 to 7.
The appliance in operation reaches high
temperatures, so special care must be
taken when handling and using it to avoid burns.
3.3. FIREWOOD REFUEL
Before refilling the appliance, make sure that
there is no extraction device (kitchen or
bathroom steam extractor) in operation that could
cause smoke to escape when the door is opened.
When there is only a bed of embers on the botom
the appliance is on fire, it is possible to refill it with
firewood. To do this, you must open the door
carefully, so as not to burn yourself and also not to
create a draft that causes smoke to escape. Then,
and if necessary, using the glove provided, place
(without throwing) the wood inside the appliance
and finally close the door.
When refueling, the maximum authorized load limits
of firewood must respected (see Chapter 1 -
"Technical Data Sheet and Safety Precautions).
The air baffle should be gradually closed, from the
initial opening at 100 % to about 30 % of the travel
(push towards the device).
If you notice that after placing the wood there is a
need to adjust the air baffle, you can temporarily
open the air inlet (pull the baffle towards you) and a
few minutes later adjust it to the most convenient
position: more open generates more power and
also has a higher consumption of firewood, in the
opposite direction, when you reduce the opening,
you will achieve a reduction in combustion and
therefore, a lower consumption of firewood.
3.4. DOOR OPENING
Flamebox insets and stoves are intermittent
combustion appliances. The door should always be
kept closed, opening it only during refills, to avoid
smoke leaks.
You can use the tool provided to open the door by
inserting the tip of the tool into the hole in the door
handle. Pull the handle towards you and up to open
the door. Proceed in reverse to close it.
3.5. VENTILATION SYSTEM
If your appliance is equipped with a forced
ventilation system, the ventilation system is
adjusted using a 3-position switch located at the
bottom of the equipment, on the right side of the ash
drawer. To access the switch, open the appliance
door.

Possible adjustments are:
Position 0: Thermostat-activated fan start. The
ventilation system is activated when the stove
reaches 50ºC in the thermostat zone. If you wish,
