START-UP PRECAUTIONS
Make sure you have read and fully understood the contents of this instruction manual.
Remove all components that could burn from the firebox and door (instructions and various adhesive labels).
Remove the stickers from the ceramic glass otherwise the high temperature could melt them and cause irreparable damage to the glass.
The product can be positioned at an angle or against the wall.
Avoid touching the product during the initial start-up, as the paint completes its drying process and hardens during
this phase. It is good practice to guarantee effective ventilation in the room during the initial start-up, as the
product will emit some smoke and smell of paint, which is absolutely normal!
If necessary, touch up the paint with the spray can of the specific colour.
Do not stand close to the product and air the room. The smoke and smell of paint will disappear after about an hour of operation, however,
remember they are not harmful in any case.
The product will be subject to expansion and contraction during the start-up and cooling phases, therefore light
creaking noises may be heard.
This is absolutely normal as the structure is made of laminated steel and must not be considered a defect.
It is extremely important to make sure the product is not immediately overheated and the temperature increases
gradually.
This will prevent damaging the welds and the steel structure.
Do not expect heating efficiency immediately!
FUEL
FUEL: WOOD
In order to achieve maximum efficiency from your product, it is of utmost importance to use wood with adequate characteristics.
One can use wood for heating such as
oak-beech-ash-robinia-durmast
wood or uncoated pressed wood logs.
The latter have a high
calorific value and must be used with caution to avoid overheating that could damage the product.
Fuels such as poplar-pine-
linden-chestnut have a low calorific value as the wood is soft. The humidity content is fundamental for all types of wood.
