N.B.
It is also necessary to clean the fireplace area immediately behind the door from the
ashes in order to keep the primary air inlet open. The ash found in this area can be pushed
towards the back of the fireplace or removed.
Remove the ashes from the fireplace before their level is so high as to close the primary air
entrance. (see technical drawing of the stove interior below).
Ashes should be placed in a
metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending
final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
By using dry and seasoned wood for lighting the stove, it is possible to obtain a high flame and
to immediately activate the draft in the chimney.
When the brazier is formed on the fireplace floor, it is possible to insert larger logs (always
crossed for proper oxygenation). When the charge is burned, it will remain a substantial bed
of hot embers that will allow the charge of the fireplace, without having to perform another
lighting; in this way, you will obtain a continuous combustion.
The combustion control through the glass door will avoid repeated openings of the fireplace
and the consequent lowering of its temperature. FIREPLACE DOOR MUST BE KEPT CLOSED
DURING COMBUSTION.
