energy to evaporate the existing water. The humid contents has the disadvantage that,
with the temperature lowering, the water condensates first in the hearth and then in the
chimney. The
unseasoned wood contains about 60 % of H20, and then it is not suitable to
be burnt.
Among the others, the following cannot be burnt: remainders of coal, cut-outs,
scraps of bark and panels, humid wood or treated with varnishes, plastic materials;
in this case the warranty on the equipment expires.

Paper and carton must be used only for ignition.
The combustion of wastes is FORBIDDEN
and may damage the stove and the chimney,
causing health damages and claims by the neighbourhood owing to the bad smell.
The wood is not a fuel, which allows a continuous operation of the appliance, as
consequence the heating
all over the night is not possible.
ATTENTION
: the continuous and protracted use of aromatic wood (eucalyptus, myrtle etc.)
quickly
damages the cast iron parts (cleavage) of the product.

15. LIGHTING
IMPORTANT:
The first time that the appliance is lit, there will be an odour given off (due to
the drying of the adhesives of the junction chord), which disappears after a short use. It
must be ensured, in any case, a good ventilation of the environment. Upon the first ignition
we suggest loading a reducedquantity of fuel and slightly increasing the calorific value of
the equipment.
Therefore, it is extremely relevant to take these easy steps during the lighting:
1. Make sure that a strong air change is assured in the room where the appliance is
installed.
2. During the first starts, do not load excessively the combustion chamber (about half the
quantity
indicated in the instructions manual) and keep the product continuously ON for at least 6-
10 hours
