A high percentage humidity causes condensation to form in the
smoke duct and in the exchanger, causing an alteration to the
draught and generating smoke and considerable soot deposits
on the door glazing and on the flue pipe. Consequently,
potential fire hazards are created in the flue pipe leading.

FIRST START-UP
We recommend that the first start-up be performed with
caution, using fine and seasoned wood.
The primary air inlet must be fully open. The use of alcohol,
petrol and other volatile, flammable substances is not
permitted.
During this stage fumes and bad odours produced while
the product is drying can be released. This does not pose any danger
and it is sufficient to air the room. When combustion has started up,
normal sized wood can be introduced.
The flame must be as laminar as possible.
During the various
reloading processes the fire door must be opened slowly to
avoid smoke being released into the room.
Proceed as follows:
Place a small ball of scrunched up paper into the closed fireplace.
Cover the paper with a small quantity of twigs and a few pieces of
wood.
Open the primary air damper fully (left-hand lever).
Light the paper and, if necessary, leave the door lifted.
Once the twigs have caught fire, you can shut the door.
Add wood as the fire gradually burns. Never overload the
closed fireplace with wood under any circumstances (see the
technical data in the table).
As soon as the flames have died down and a bed of embers has
formed, load the closed fireplace normally. Small loads are preferable
to large loads of wood for combustion.
To achieve the nominal heat output introduce the wood load
indicated in the technical data table into the combustion
chamber (
chapter 3). The running time of the appliance is
approximately 45 minutes. On completion of combustion
reload the appliance.
