PROCEDURES FOR USE
⚠
If the chimney catches fire you must call the fire brigade immediately.
Checks prior to start-up
⚠
You have read and perfectly understood the contents of this instructions manual.
Before lighting the stove, you must ensure that:
•
the combustion chamber is clean;
•
every element that could burn has been removed (instructions, various stickers).
📌
During the first hours of use the paints used for the stove finish may release an unpleasant odour. You might also smell the
typical odour of metal parts subject to high temperatures. Make sure sufficient air circulation is guaranteed in the room. These
unavoidable inconveniences will disappear after the first hours of operation. To reduce your discomfort to a minimum, keep
the stove on for a few hours on low power and in the beginning, do not overload it, avoiding intense heating-cooling cycles.
📌
At the initial start-up, the paint finishes drying and hardens. Accordingly, to avoid ruining it, we advise you not to touch the
stove’s painted surfaces at this time.
Stove start-up
To light the stove, proceed as described below:
1
Clean the combustion grille by removing the residue left over from previous use, using the grille-shaker if necessary.
Empty the ash drawer as needed.
2
Open the primary air all the way, moving the primary air control lever to the right (lighting position). Using the grille shaker,
keep the grille holes open half way.
3
Place a lighting module on top of the grille, composed of several layers of dry sticks, on top of which four pieces of wood
in a cross-shape, creating 2 layers.
4
Place natural fire starter on the grille under the lighting module.
5
Close the combustion chamber door.
⚠
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE STOVE. EXCEEDING THE RECOMMENDED LOAD CAN DAMAGE PARTS OF THE STOVE AND
VOID THE WARRANTY. EXCESSIVE LOADING, IN ADDITION TO NOT BEING EFFICIENT, PRODUCES EXCESSIVELY
HIGH SMOKE TEMPERATURES THAT CAN DAMAGE THE STOVE AND CHIMNEY.
Lighting the Stove Using a “Top-Down”-Lighting
“Top-Down”-Lighting provides an environmentally friendly lighting and helps keep the glass area optimally clean.
• 4 pieces of wood approx. 20-30 cm long with a weight of approx. 0.5-0.6 kg per piece.
•
12-20 thin pieces of firewood of about 20-30 cm in length, with a total weight of approx.
0.6-0.8 kg.
•
3 fire lighters in bag or block form
Place the pieces of wood, firewood and fire lighters in the combustion chamber as shown below.
Set the primary and secondary air controls to maximum in the lighting phase. If the fire is too strong, you may throttle down the primary air
damper.
📌
The wood must never be placed higher than the tertiary holes at the rear of the burn chamber (this does not apply at a cold
start)!
