Lighting a fire
Important:
lighting a fire must be done with thin dry wood.
1. Load a generous amount of firewood, placing a layer of wood chips or thin firewood and another layer of
thicker wood on top. You must leave the pieces crossed and with enough separation between them to allow proper
air flow.
2. Light the first layer of wood chips or thin wood.
3. Leave the door ajar, with an opening between 0,5cm to 3cm, so that enough air can enter for the fire to light
quickly.
4. Once the wood is well-lit, wait until the wood burner temperature is high before completely closing the door
(10 to 45 minutes, depending on factors like wood, air circulation, etc.) and adjust the air inlet. If you find that the
volume of flames decreases, or the fire tends to go out and the smoke inside the fireplace increases, open the air
intake more or repeat step 3.
When reloading, if there are not enough embers to light the new load of wood, repeat steps 3 and 4.
When the wood burner is in operation, you must not open the door. When putting more wood on the fire, open the
door slowly to prevent the smoke inside the fireplace from blowing out into the room.

Adjusting primary and secondary air inlet
You have bought a maximum-efficiency and maximum-performance heater. In this model, the control of the
primary and secondary air inlet is simultaneous and is done with a single regulation control; it is essential to achieve
good combustion.
The optimum regulation of the air inlet can vary according to various factors, such as the chimney flue, the
temperature of the heater’s hearth, the quality of the firewood (moisture, size and shape).

Warning. –
During the use of your stove or inset appliance, the high temperatures generated during
combustion and cooling down of the device afterwards will cause expansion and contraction of the steel plates.
This may cause some metallic sounds; these are completely normal and should not be considered a defect in the
product.
In order to avoid burns while regulating air flow, always use the cold hand provided with the stove.
