IT IS PROHIBITED TO USE ANY LIQUIDS OR GASES SUCH AS ALCOHOL, PETROL ETC. TO LIGHT OR
REKINDLE THE FIRE.
6)
Do not leave the appliance unsupervised while the lighting process is still in progress (roughly 30 minutes to complete the
process) or whenever there are abundant burning embers present.
7)
Once the lighting sequence is completed close the Smoke by-pass using the special riddling tool.
ATTENTION: THE DOOR OF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND OF THE ASH PAN MUST ONLY BE OPENED
FOR THE LIGHTING OPERATIONS, FOR STOKING AND FOR REMOVING RESIDUAL MATERIAL. DURING
NORMAL OPERATION THE FIREBOX DOOR MUST REMAIN SECURELY CLOSED AND THE SMOKE BY-PASS
DEACTIVATED.
Leaving the Smoke by-pass open during normal operation results in higher fuel consumption than the declared
quantity, a considerable drop in efficiency and exposure of the appliance to extremely high temperatures. For this
reason the warranty does not cover any direct or indirect damages caused by prolonged exposure of the appliance to
these temperatures.
ATTENTION: The temperature of the Smoke by-pass is very hot while the appliance is
operating, so take care not to touch it. The riddling tool provided must be used when handling it.
6.2 REFUELLING
The stove is an intermittent combustion appliance so it requires refuelling.
Once combustion is achieved inside the combustion chamber and
consequently there are embers present, proceed with the first fuel feed:
1)
Smoke by-pass
2)
Wait a few seconds and open the firebox door slowly to minimise the
risk of smoke escaping and use the riddling tool to spread the embers.
N.B. It is prohibited to light or reload the fuel with a bed of embers
higher than 3 cm as this does not guarantee correct use of the
appliance.
3)
Take two logs, each of which must not exceed the weight specified
in the technical data table, and lay them parallel in the centre of the grate in
the combustion chamber, as illustrated in the figures below.
4)
Slowly close the firebox door and deactivate the Smoke by-pass
using the special riddling tool.
5)
Rotate the primary air control counterclockwise almost to the end,
leaving the slots roughly just one millimetre open (see figure on the side).
6)
To rekindle the fire clear the ash from the air passage slots to
promote better combustion. Do not add additional fuel until the previous load
has burnt or is reduced to embers, then open the firebox door slowly and
place the logs in an orderly manner on the bed of embers. Complete the
operation by slowly closing the door.
