The heating devices (in this instruction manual they are called „stoves“) from the company ALFA PLAM (in 
this instruction manual referred as ALFA PLAM) are designed and tested in accordance with the safety 
measures of the valid regulations of the European Community. 
This instruction manual is intended for the stove users, the technicians who install the stove, the operators 
and workers for maintenance of the stove who are shown on the front (cover) page of the instruction 
manual. 
If there is something in this instruction manual that is difficult for you to understand, we kindly ask you to 
contact the manufacturer of the stove or an authorized service center. In doing so, indicate the number of 
paragraph i.e. the chapter in question, i.e. the subject of something unclear.   

Printing, translation and reproduction, even partial, of this instruction manual is subject of permit by ALFA PLAM, 
meaning that the company ALFA PLAM must approve the indicated actions. Technical information, figures and 
specifications in this instruction manual must not be given to any third entity. 

 

 
DOUBLE COMBUSTION SYSTEM 

The flame obtained by wood combustion in the stove, emits the same quantities of carbon dioxide (CO

2

) which 

would be released as a result of natural wood decay. 
The quantity of carbon dioxide (CO

2

) obtained by combustion or decomposition of the biomass corresponds to the 

quantity of carbon dioxide (CO

2

) that the biomass is able to receive from the environment and to turn it into oxygen 

for air and carbon of plants during its entire lifetime. 
The  use  of  non-renewable  fossil  fuels  (coal,  oil,  gas),  contrary  to  what  happens  with  wood,  releases  in  the 
atmosphere  huge  quantities  of  carbon  dioxide  (CO

2

)  which  has  been  accumulated  during  millions  of  years,  thus 

creating  the  effect  of  a  greenhouse.  For  this  reason,  the  use  of  wood  as  fuel  is  in  perfect  balance  with  the 
environment, because wood as a renewable fuel is in ecological harmony with the nature. 

 

These  goals  are  entirely  achieved  with  principle  of  pure  combustion,  so for this  reason the  company ALFA  PLAM 
has founded the design of its products on that basis. 
What do we mean by clean combustion and how does it happen?  
The regulation and setting of primary air and insertion of secondary air creates i.e. causes secondary combustion, 
or so called post-combustion, which gives secondary flame which according to its nature is lighter and stronger than 
the  basic  or  primary  flame.  The  addition  of  new  oxygen  (through  inserted  air)  enables  additional  combustion  of 
gases  which  have  not  burned  entirely.  This  significantly  increases  the  thermal  performance  and  reduces  harmful 
emission of carbon monooxide (CO), because the incomplete combustion is based on minimum. The following are 
the basic characteristics of the stove and the remaining products of the company ALFA PLAM.
