IMPORTANT INFORMATION
During the initial start-up and after periods of
inactivity, Firebox
®
must operate at moderate
power; this in order to avoid damage due to
too rapid a rise of temperature.
1) do not use in
fl
ammable liquids, such as
gasoline or alcohol, for ignition.
Always keep these liquids away from the
body of Firebox®.
2) before ignition, check that:
►
the damper for the entry of outside
compensation air is fully open
►
the smoke-outlet damper is
completely open
►
the grille for taking
outdoor air into the room, generally in-
stalled on the mantel, is fully open
►
the switch of the electronic
equipment for the forced-ventilation
models is on
Place crumpled paper on the
fi
re surface.
During the operation of Firebox
®
, check that
the room is continuously receiving suf
fi
cient
outside air.
In fact, when operating with open or closed
mouth, Firebox
®
requires a lot of air.
During the
fi
rst few ignitions, the paint and
any processing oils may cause the formation
of odour and smoke; in this case, ventilate
the room well until the smell and smoke stop.
Superimpose a
fi
rst layer of smaller wood and
a further layer of medium pieces (logs of Ø
8-10 cm x 30-40 cm).
Light the paper and monitor combustion until
the
fl
ame is well developed.
Close the door of the
fi
replace, tightening the
handle; wait until a bed of embers has formed
and then load the hourly quantity of wood re-
quired in two cycles.
Adjust combustion using the primary and
secondary air dampers as required.
If there is not a suitable bed of embers, it
must be created by burning small-medium
pieces of wood and keeping the door com-
pletely open for the necessary time.
Do not modify the mechanisms for the intake
of external combustion air.
You must check and ensure that, during the
operation of Firebox
®
, the damper of the ex-
ternal air-intake mechanism is fully open.
During operation, the grilles for the entry
and exit of convection air must remain open
to avoid the accumulation of heat in internal
parts.
Before lighting Firebox
®
, set the switch to
"ON”.
The electrical components are always live
so, before any maintenance, disconnect
the plug and turn off the electrical panel
of the dwelling.
Have a specialized technician clean Firebox
®
,
the smoke duct and the
fl
ue at least once a
year and, if necessary, even more frequently.
Cleaning the glass
Firebox
®
is equipped with an air system for
cleaning the glass to avoid premature dirty-
ing.
To avoid excessive marking of the glass:
►
never use moist wood as
the water vapour is deposited on the
glass, also holding particles of soot
►
burn wood away from the glass to
avoid contact with the
fl
ame
►
clean the cold glass using special
spray cleaner Glasskamin, marketed by
Edilkamin
►
avoid abrasive cleaners
Removing the ash
Empty the ash tray regularly.
Prevent the cone of ash from reaching the
grill; this could damage the grille due to insuf-
fi
cient air cooling.
Never remove hot ashes using a vacuum
cleaner and do not throw them in the garbage
before they are completely cool.
