08.3 TIPS AND WARNINGS FOR THE USER
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THERE IS ALWAYS WATER IN THE BOILER AT A PRESSURE OF 1 to 1.2 BAR
WHEN COLD, AND THAT THE MAINS CONNECTION FOR THE WATER REQUIRED TO COOL THE FIREPLACE IS
NEVER OBSTRUCTED.
WARNING
Check for any obstructions in the flue and the outside air inlets before lighting the appliance after a long period of
disuse. For this same reason, check that there are no leaks in the hydraulic circuit, due to extreme weather conditions (such as
ice), which may have damaged the pipes or seals.
WARNING
With a zone heating system, when the fireplace/stove is lit, it is essential that at least one zone of the heating system is always open in
order to dissipate the heat produced (also in summer).
There must be no other boilers, chimneys, stoves, fireplaces or extractor blowers located in the same room as the stove (excluded of
the type “C” according to UNI 10683).
When purchasing firewood, it is advisable to vary the sizes: short lengths (30/35 cm) for quick lighting and longer lengths. The greater
the quality of the firewood, the greater its efficiency and operation.
If condensation forms inside the fireplace/stove, this may be caused by the following:
•
the central heating circulating pump is set to start at too low a temperature (it should set to start at 60°C at the lowest). To keep
the fireplace clean, it is also recommended to start the pump at about 70°C, if there are no contraindications concerning the
functioning of the system.
•
poor flue draught (clean the flue).
•
Insufficient combustion air.
•
boiler dirty: every 20-30 days, remove the smoke baffle and clean the fireplace, particularly around the upper part where it is
connected to the flue. Use the flue brush to clean up as far as the damper.
If the glass turns black during normal burning, this may be caused by the following:
•
poor flue draught (clean the flue or check that the flue dimensions conform to requirements).
•
Insufficient combustion air.
•
excessive amount of wood during start-up and when functioning
Never light the stove/fireplace in wood mode without connecting it to the mains.
Only use recommended fuels, otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.
The fireplace must always be closed, except when loading fire wood, to prevent smoke escaping.
If you leave the door open when
functioning, the alarm will be triggered and the fireplace will shut down.
The firebox, the kind of installation of the hydraulik kit and or hydraulic installation cannot be modified; any unauthorised modification
automatically invalidates the warranty and relieves the Manufacture of any liability.
The stove must not be placed in direct contact with combustible materials; the minimum distance allowed is 20 cm at the sides and back
and at least 70 cm at the front.
Regular systematic maintenance is essential to maintain the appliance in perfect working order and optimum efficiency.
This is a hight performance insert obtained by closed doors. In case of opening and no perfect draftl conditions in the chimney (12Pa),
there could be smoke puff exit. If, for example, it is necessary to open the doors to load some wood, check that you have opened the
fume shutter as far as possible to prevent the formation of small puffs of smoke.
MORE CLEANING = MORE EFFICIENCY
On exceeding the temperature of 90°C by the water in the boiler, the valve opens that allows cool mains water to flow
into the safety serpentine, to cool the excess heat and keep the heat generator in safety condition. Pay attention to the safety valve
exhaust on the hydraulic kit outlet, as very hot water could escape.
WARNING
DO NOT TOUCH any parts of the firebox not covered by the cladding, except the handles and controls, as they
can become very hot.
WARNING
For problems with the fireplace, please contact the CAT.
Call the Fire Brigade if a fire occurs in the flue.
