You are advised to contact authorised staff
to replace spare parts, worn parts and for
extraordinary maintenance of the the product.
1.9 IDENTIFICATION PLATE
The plate placed on the back of the product
outlines all the characteristic data of the
appliance, including the manufacturer's data,
the serial number and the CE marking.
1.10 PRODUCT DISPOSAL
Demolition and disposal of the product is the
exclusive responsibility of the owner, who should
do so in compliance with legislation in force in his
country on safety matters, with respect of and
safeguarding the environment.
At the end of its useful life, the product must not
be disposed of as urban waste.
It can be delivered to specific differentiated
waste collection centres made available by
municipal administrations, or dealers who provide
this service.
Disposal of the product as differentiated waste
means possible negative consequences for the
environment and health are avoided, deriving
from inadequate disposal. Furthermore, it allows
recovery of materials composing the product to
obtain important savings in energy and resources.
1.11 HERMETIC PRODUCT
The products manufactured with a perfectly
hermetic structure do not consume oxygen in
the environment, since they take all the air from
outside the home (if correctly installed) and can
therefore be positioned inside all homes with a
high level of insulation, such as “passive houses”
or “with high energy efficiency”. Thanks to this
technology, there is no risk of smoke emissions in
the environment and no ventilation grates are
necessary.
As a result, no cold air flows are created in the
environment making it less comfortable and
reducing the overall efficiency of the system.
Hermetic products can also be installed in the
presence of forced ventilation or in premises
which can go into negative pressure compared
to outside.

WOOD RECOMMENDED FEATURES
For its products, the Manufacturer recommends
using class A1+ or A1 certified fuel, according to
UNI EN ISO 17225-5:2014.
The dimensions of the combustion chamber are
as follows:
width 34cm.
height 32cm.
depth 26cm.
Refer to the abovementioned dimensions to
purchase pre-sized wood logs.
In any case, it is recommended to buy logs of
20-25 cm. It is best to use durable types of wood,
such as beech, oak or elm. Avoid very aromatic
types of wood or those rich in resin (myrtaceae,
eucalyptus, pine, fir) which can damage the
product, even seriously.
• Recommended fuel: BEECH;
•
calorific value: approximately 4.6 kWh/kg;
• ideal humidity level: from 15% to 20%;
• length of the logs: 20-25 cm.
Wood should be stored in a dry and not
excessively cold environment. It is also advisable
to keep a quantity of wood sufficient for 2/3
days of operation in the room where the product
is installed, so as to allow any moisture in it to
dry out. Neglecting this aspect will reduce the
thermal potential of the fuel and will require more
maintenance of the product.
Be careful when using pressed logs, as they have
a high heating value: this results in the danger
of overheating the device, thus affecting its
operation.
Prohibited fuels
It is recommended not to use the following fuels,
as they could jeopardize both your health and the
environment, in addition to
invalidate the product
warranty
:
• very damp wood;
• treated wood (chipboard, lacquered, varnished,
or glued, wood etc.);
• treated paper and cardboard (painted, oiled,
impregnated paper towels, etc.);
•
wood processing residues such as shavings and/
or sawdust;
• liquid fuels;
• coal and other fossil derivatives;
•
rubbish, plastics and/or anything that generally
releases toxic and polluting substances during its
combustion;
• fruit pits, pomace, corn, shells, mixtures of the
above with wood pellets, pellets NOT produced
with sawdust only.
