3 FUEL CHARACTERISTICS
3.1 Fuel characteristics
The appliance should preferably be fuelled with
well seasoned beech/birch wood. Each type of
wood has different characteristics that also affect
the combustion efficiency.
The use of conifers (pine-fir) is discour-
aged: they contain high quantities of
resinous substances that quickly clog
the flue.
Waste, bark, wood treated with paints,
panels, coal, plastic materials, paper
and cardboard cannot be burned,
under penalty of forfeiture of the appli-
ance warranty.
The continuous and prolonged use of
wood particularly rich in aromatic oils
(e.g. eucalyptus, myrtle, etc.) causes
sudden deterioration of the internal
components of the product.
The nominal yield declared in kW of the stove, is
obtained by burning a correct quantity of wood,
being careful not to overload the combustion
chamber.
The wood must have a recommended percent-
age of humidity not exceeding 25%, an ideal
length of approximately 33 cm and must be
placed in a horizontal position, being sure not to
completely obstruct the slots in the fire box grate
and the front and rear holes of the combustion
air distributor.
The reference standard for the fuel is UNI/ISO
17225-1 "wood logs of forest origin".
It is prohibited to use the appliance as
an incinerator to burn rubbish.
