FUEL LOADING
For routine fuel loading simply open the door by the cold handle provided or with the handle.
During use, the metal structure and
glass reach high temperatures, therefore use suitable thermal protection (such as gloves). During normal use always keep
the door fully lowered/closed
, as intermediate positions cause anomalous combustion (forge effect), quick consumption of the wood
and could also create smoke leaks due to the high temperatures of the firebox.
Only open the door for fuel loading operations and only for brief amounts of time.
The closed firebox reaches its maximum output and best operation with the door closed, as the tightness of the combustion chamber and
the calibrated oxygen intake makes it possible to raise the output levels.
To achieve the nominal output and optimal combustion, load the amount of wood and comply with the loading
interval indicated in the technical data table (chapter 5).

most common
method but not
recommended due
to the particulate

generates.
On the side, mixed

no lighting module.
This method must be
avoided.

This is the most correct
