WARNING: The continuous and protracted use of aromatic wood (eucalyptus, myrtle etc.) quickly
damages the cast iron parts (cleavage) of the product.
9. LIGHTING
IMPORTANT: The first time that the appliance is lit, there will be an odour given off (due to the drying of
the adhesives of the junction chord), which disappears after a short use. It must be
ensured, in any case, a good ventilation of the environment. Upon the first ignition we
suggest loading a reduced quantity of fuel and slightly increasing the calorific value of the
equipment.
To perform a correct first lighting of the products treated with paints for high temperature, it is necessary to
know the following information:
•
the construction materials of the involved products are not homogeneous, as matter of fact there
are simultaneously parts in cast iron, steel, refractory material and majolica;
•
the temperature to which the body of the product is subject is not homogeneous: from area to area,
variable temperatures within the range of 300°C - 5 00 °C are detected;
•
during its life, the product is subject to alternated lighting and extinguishing cycles in the same day,
as well as to cycles of intense use or of absolute standstill when season changes;
•
the new appliance, before being considered seasoned has to be subject to many start cycles to
allow all materials and paints to complete the various elastic stresses;
•
in detail, initially it is possible to remark the emission of smells typical of metals subject to great
thermal stress, as well as of wet paint. This paint, although during the manufacture it is backed at
250 °C for some hours, must exceed many times and f or a given period of time the temperature of
350 °C before becoming completely embedded in the m etallic surfaces.
Therefore, it is extremely relevant to take these easy steps during the lighting:
1) Make sure that a strong air change is assured in the room where the appliance is installed.
2) During the first starts, do not load excessively the combustion chamber (about half the quantity
indicated in the instructions manual) and keep the product continuously ON for at least 6-10 hours
with the registers less open than the value indicated in the instructions manual.
3) Repeat this operation for at least 4-5 or more times, according to your possibilities.
4) Then load more and more fuel (following in any case the provisions contained in the installation
booklet concerning maximum load) and, if possible, keep the lighting periods long avoiding, at least
in this initial phase, short ON/OFF cycles.
5) During the first starts, no object should be leaned on the appliance and in detail on
enamelled surfaces. Enamelled surfaces must not be touched during heating.
6) Once the «break-in» has been completed, it is possible to use the product as the motor of a car,
avoiding abrupt heating with excessive loads.
To light the fire, it is suggested to use small wood pieces together with paper or other traded lighting
means. It is forbidden to use any liquid substance as for ex. alcohol, gasoline, oil and similar.
The openings for air (primary and secondary) must be opened together, the smoke register is to be
adjusted for the cooker function, i.e. the command bar must be pushed to the back of the cooker (the
eventual butterfly valve which is found on the exhaust smoke pipe is also to be opened).
When the wood starts burning, you may load other fuels and adjust the air for combustion according to the
instructions on paragraph 10. Please always be present during this phase.
Never overload the appliance (see the hourly wood load in the table). 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.
