Fuel
Use only dry wood with a maximum moisture content of 20%. Wood
with a moisture content higher than 50 or 60% does not heat and
combusts very badly, and creates a lot of tar, releases excessive

products.
Do not burn domestic rubbish, plastic materials or greasy products
that can pollute the environment and lead to risks of fire due to
obstruction of the pipes.

any circumstances.
The stove is intended to function intermittently with intervals for
recharging the fuel.
For the lighting process of the stove it is recommended you use
paper, fire lighters or small sticks of wood. Once the fire starts to burn,
add to it two logs of wood each weighing 2 to 2.5kg as a first initial
charge. In this lighting process the air inlets of the stove must be kept
completely open. If necessary the drawer for removing ashes can also
be opened to begin with. Once the fire is more intense, close the
drawer completely (if open) and regulate the intensity of the fire by
closing and opening the air inlets.
