Tips for operation and optimum regulation of the air inlets.
Once the device has been through a first cycle of combustion and is suf
ficiently het up, it’s advisable to
follow
these Recommendations in order to obtain the maximum performance of your product.
Use preferably split wood, beech or similar, and with a humidity of less than 20%.
Recommended size of the fuel: two pieces of 45cm. length and a weight of 3.2kgs. (2x 1.6kgs)
Regulate the air inlet at an opening of 25%.
To obtain an optimum and stable operation, with a good sight of the flames through the glass, try to realise
successive loads of a similar size, and always keep the air inlets the same as well.

MAINTENANCE
To clean the glass, first spray the cleaning product on a cloth and then proceed to clean the glass only,
without wetting the rest of the door. Window-cleaners and special products often contain chemicals that
attack the paint and the ceramic fibre seals and cause oxidation of the metal parts.
It is very important not to wet the wood burner with window-cleaner, water or special cleaning products.
Heatproof paint is not waterproof.
Clean the paintwork with a feather duster or a soft, dry cloth. If over time you want to repaint the insert, the
manufacturer makes a spray paint available from your dealer.

RECOMMENDATIONS, CHIMNEY SWEEPING AND SAFETY STANDARDS
Whenever one uses a wood burner there are certain risks. Therefore, the following indications should be
taken into account:
−
After a prolonged period of not using the device, the chimney should be checked to make sure it is not
blocked.
−
Periodically the chimney conduct and hood should be swept, and the device itself together with the
connections should be cleaned. All should be maintained clean and in a good state, as creosote build-up
in the chimney could cause fires.
−
Keeping the chimney conduct clean is of vital importance. The chimney should be cleaned periodically,
depending on the frequency of use and the type and humidity of the fuel used.
−
The maintenance of the appliance and the sweeping of the chimney should be done by a qualified
professional.
−
In case of chimney fire, immediately close the air inlets and use an extinguisher or call the fire
department.
−
The stove will become very hot when you light it. Don’t touch th
e stove without protection during firing
and for two hours after.
−
Warn children of the danger of burns.
−
Children or the infirm are not allowed to use the stove.
−
Do not modify the appliance without authorisation and use only original spare parts.
−
There should be adequate supply of air to the space where the stove is installed, both for combustion and
convection air. The air grates should never be blocked.
−
Don’t smother the fire suddenly with water, but let it burn out, consuming the wood load.
−
The appliance must be installed on floors with sufficient bearing capacity.
−
Remove cooled ashes from the stove when the fire is out. Using an ash bucket is recommended as there
may be burning embers in the ashes.
