NEVER OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT WATER IN THE BOILER UNIT. IN ADDITION TO NOT HEATING, IT
MAY ALSO COMPROMISE THE OPERATION AND LIFE OF THE APPLIANCE.
Antifreeze protection
In intensely cold periods it is good practice to leave the heating system running. In the event of a prolonged absence,
antifreeze must be added to the heating water and to the water in the boiler unit.
For the choice of antifreeze and the
quantity to add to the boiler unit, see section "
Maintenance of the boiler unit"
in order to avoid compromising
the operation and life of the appliance.
The emptying of the heating system should also be considered. If it is being emptied frequently, it is essential that filling
is performed with water suitably treated to remove hardness which can give rise to scaling.
The boiler unit should always have treated water
(see section
“Maintenance of the boiler unit”
)
; never leave it
without water, in order to avoid rusting which would affect its life.
Switching on
Perform the following operations:
-
Connect the appliance to the electrical system by using the provided cable;
-
Switch on the electronic control unit by pressing button P1 “
ON/OFF
”;
-
Make sure that there is water in the system and the boiler unit;
-
set the thermostat that controls the pump to a temperature of 55-60 °C;
NEVER set the temperature to lower than
55 °C because condensation could form in the boiler unit, which in time could ruin the appliance;
-
Open the “
upper
smoke damper
” on the flue inlet by setting the handle to the vertical position;
-
Open the “
internal smoke stream damper
” by pulling
the knob out fully.
-
Open the
“primary manual air combustion damper”
by turning the knob fully to the right (+).
-
Open the “
secondary automatic air combustion damper
” by turning the knob fully anti
-clockwise.
-
Light the fire using seasoned, thin wood;
-
When the wood has ignited well, close the "
primary manual air combustion damper
" by turning the knob fully to the
left (-) and adjust the combustion air via the "
secondary automatic air combustion damper
", by adjusting the opening
of the relative knob;
-
Close the
“
internal smoke stream damper”
by pushing the knob in fully to increase appliance yield and to deliver
more heat to the oven. If necessary, adjust the draught in the flue by adjusting the "
upper smoke damper
" on the flue
inlet.
During ignition, combustion may be difficult to achieve, until the flue gas pipes and the flue are hot. Weather conditions
may also affect the way the flue draws.
The fire door must be kept closed at all times except during refuelling in order to prevent the escape of smoke.
Never light the appliance with alcohol or other highly flammable liquids.
The fire door has an opening for the flow of post-combustion air between the glass and the frame. This opening does not
assure a seal in the combustion chamber. Any smoke escaping during ignition and/or normal operation of the appliance
is not a defect, but is related to poor draught in the flue, a lack of air vents in the room or the type/quality of wood
burned.
Always remember to open the smoke damper a few seconds before loading the combustion chamber with new wood in
order to prevent the backflow of smoke into the room.
