Connections
📌
The connections must be set up by a technician that is qualified and/or authorised by the Manufacturer.
Chimney connection
⚠
The chimney must be sized so as to guarantee the draught declared by the Manufacturer.
T
esting and commissioning
Stove start-up must be preceded by testing, which includes an operational check of the following elements:
•
connection to the smoke evacuation system;
•
checking that all materials used to build the smoke duct, chimney and chimney pot are regulation and suitable for use.
The testing is positive only when all operational phases have been completed without any anomaly being detected.
Controls and use
It is important to us that our environment is protected in best possible way – first of all, it is an advantage to all, and as a bonus the fuel is
exploited much better.
The air supply for the combustion is added through 2 valves controlled by 2 control handles.
The
left control handle is the primary air
, which is used for lighting the cold stove and when firing dense wood. Maximum air is added,
when the control is in the furthest left position; when fire is established, gently close the primary control by sliding it towards the right.
The
right air control (secondary air)
is to be used when the stove is warm to control the fire. It is open when pushed to the right, and
restricted when pushed to the left. The fire should be run efficiently, and the best indication of this is the color of the firebricks inside the
firebox. If they are soothed up, then the fire is burning too cold, and this should be corrected.
Please also notice that the logs must be max. 33 cm long and no more than 10 cm in diameter; the moisture percentage must be lower than
18-20%.
Primary Air Control
During normal heating, the primary air control is typically open between 0 and 50%.
0% may be used for burning soft wood and 50% for hard wood. In unusual weather conditions causing poor draught, it may be necessary
to start up the stove with full primary air open. As the stove heats up slowly, decrease the primary lever towards the right. See also passage
for lighting the stove.
Secondary Air Control
During normal heating, the secondary air control is typically open between 50 and 100%. The secondary air control determines the
performance of the stove.
In addition to participating in the combustion, the secondary air will also prevent formation of soot on the glass.
Using Your Stove under Various Weather Conditions
Wind blowing on the chimney can have a great effect on how your stove reacts; you may need to adjust the airflow to achieve good burning
results. Fitting a damper in the flue pipe may also help, as it will give you the ability to regulate the draught in changing wind conditions.
Fog can also have a great influence on how well a chimney draws; you may again need to adjust the airflow settings to achieve good burning
results.
Leva tutta a sinistra: aria primaria completamente aperta.
Leva tutta a destra: aria primaria chiusa
Leva tutta a sinistra: aria secondaria chiusa. A destra: aria secondaria aperta
