Secondary air regulation will provide greater control of combustion, slowing down combustion and making the most
of every load of firewood.
In order to avoid burns, always use the adjustment tool supplied with
the appliance to adjust the secondary air inlet.
LIGHTING A FIRE
1. Load a generous amount of firewood, placing a layer of wood chips or thin firewood and another layer of
thicker wood on top.
2. Light the first layer of wood chips or thin wood using fire-lighters or special lighting products, if necessary.
3. Leave the door ajar, with an opening of 1-5 cm, so that enough air can enter for the fire to light quickly.
4. After a few minutes, once the wood is well-lit, close the door and adjust the air inlet. If you see that the
volume of flames decreases or tends to go out and the amount of smoke in the fireplace increases, open the air
inlet or repeat step 3.
When you reload with more wood, if there are not enough flames or embers to light the new load of wood,
repeat steps 3 and 4.
Select the firewood to achieve the desired type of operation. Thin firewood should be used to get higher
thermal power, use it after lighting the fire for a faster response as you need more heat.
Use larger-size, thick wood for a slower combustion when you have less need for heat or for overnight
maintenance, always preceded by a cycle of more power with thinner firewood, when the appliance temperature is
already high. If necessary, when starting the fire, burn a combination of thin and thick firewood.
When the woodburner is in operation, if you have to open the door, do so slowly to avoid the smoke inside the
fireplace from blowing out into the room.
Warning.- In woodburners, prolonged and continuous use at a very low rate of combustion or with very wet wood
can cause highly flammable creosote to build up in the flue.
