ANTHEA – VENERE

7194201 Rev.06 – EN

The primary air register has to be opened, so lever completely pulled out (Picture 1 - 1A). When wood starts to
burn, it is possible to feed it again, close the primary air control (completely pushed to the back) control the
combustion through the secondary air register (Picture 1 - 2A) according to the provisions of CHAP. 10.
Please always be present during this phase. Never overload the appliance (see the technical table - max.
quantity of fuel that can be loaded / hourly consumption.
Too much fuel and too much air for combustion can cause overheating and therefore damage the
same.

10. NORMAL OPERATION

For safety reasons the door of the appliances with constructive system 1, must be opened only for the loading
of the fuel or for removing the ashes, while during the operation and

the rest, the door of the hearth must

remain closed.
The appliances with constructive system 2 must be connected to their own flue. The operating with open door
is allowed under supervision.
IMPORTANT: For safety reasons the door of the hearth can be opened only for the loading of the fuel.
The hearth door must always remain closed during operation or rest.

The nominal power of the appliance is of kW 8. This power will be reached with a minimum depression in the
chimney of 12 – 14 Pascal (=1.2 – 1.4 mm of water column).

With the registers located on the front of the appliance (Picture 1), it is possible to adjust the heat emission of
the same. They have to be opened according to the calorific need. The best combustion (with minimum
emissions) is reached when, by loading the wood, most part of the air for combustion flows through the
secondary air register.

Never overload the appliance (see the hourly wood load in the table here below). Too much fuel and
too much air for the combustion may cause overheating and then damage the stove. The inobservance
of this rule makes the warranty expire.

You should always use the stove with the door closed in order to avoid damages due to overheating (forge
effect).

The ANTHEA – VENERE is an appliance with intermittent operation.
Besides  the  adjustment  of air  for  combustion, the  intensity of  the  combustion  and  consequently  the  thermal
performance  of  your  appliance  is  influenced  by  the  stack.  A  good  draught  of  the  stack  requires  a  stricter
adjustment  of  air  for  combustion,  while  a  poor  draught  requires  a  more  precise  adjustment  of  air  for
combustion.
To verify the good combustion, check whether the smoke coming out from the stack is transparent.
If it is white, it means that the appliance is not properly adjusted or the wood is too wet; if instead the smoke is
grey or black, it signals that the combustion is not complete (it is necessary a greater quantity of

secondary air.

11. OPERATION DURING TRANSITION PERIODS

During transition periods when the external temperatures are higher, if there is a sudden increase of
temperature it can happen that the combustion gases inside the flue cannot be completely sucked up.
The exhaust gases do not come out completely (intense smell of gas). In this case, shake the grating more
frequently and increase the air for the combustion. Then, load a reduced quantity of fuel in order to permit a
rapid burning (growing up of the flames) and the stabilization of the draught.
Then, check that all openings for the cleaning and the connections to the stack are air-tight.

12. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Let the installation of your stove, the connection to chimney and the ventilation check by your chimney
sweeper.
