4. Then load more and more fuel (following in any case the provisions contained in the installation booklet concerning maximum load)
and, if possible, keep the lighting periods long avoiding, at least in this initial phase, short ON/OFF cycles.
5. During the first starts, no object should be leaned on the appliance and in detail on enameled surfaces. Enameled surfaces
must not be touched during heating
.
6. Once the «break-in» has been completed, it is possible to use the product as the motor of a car, avoiding abrupt heating with excessive
loads.
To light the fire, it is suggested to use small wood pieces together with paper or other traded lighting means.
It is FORBIDDEN to use any liquid substance as for ex. alcohol, gasoline, oil and similar
.
ATTENTION
:
during the first lightings there could be a solid smokes condensation with a small escape of water from the thermo-
fireplace: this event will expire in a very short time but if it persists it will be necessary to check the chimney draught.
The openings for air (primary and secondary) must be opened together (you must open the eventual Ignition control, and butterfly valve
placed on the pipe of smokes exhaust). When the wood starts burning, you may load other fuels and adjust the air for combustion
according to the instructions on paragraph DESCRIPTION.
Please always be present during this phase
.
Never overload the appliance
(see the technical table - max quantity of fuel that can be loaded / hourly consumption).
Too much fuel and
too much air for combustion can cause overheating and therefore damage the appliance.
The warranty does not cover the damages
due to overheating of the equipment.
Never switch on the device when there are combustible gases in the room
.
9.1. LOW EMISSION fire lighting
Smokeless combustion is a way of lighting a fire able to significantly reduce the emission of harmful substances. The wood burns gradually
from the top downwards, so combustion is slower and more controlled. Burnt gases pass through the high temperatures of the flame and
therefore burn almost completely. A load will last from 6 to 8 hours.
Place the logs in the hearth a certain distance apart as shown in the
. Arrange the largest at the bottom and the smallest
at the top, or vertically in the case of tall narrow combustion chambers. Place the fire starter module on top of the pile, arranging the first
logs in the module at right angles to the pile of wood.
Fire STARTER MODULE.
This fire starter module replaces a paper or cardboard starter.
Prepare four logs, 20 cm long with a cross section of 3 cm by 3 cm
. Cross the four logs and place them on top of
the pile of wood at right angles, with the fire lighter (wax impregnated wood fibre for example) in the middle. The fire can be lit with a
match. If you want, you can use thinner pieces of wood. In this case, you will need a larger quantity.
Keep the flue gas exhaust valve and combustion air regulator open.
After lighting the fire, leave the combustion air regulator open in the position shown:
FUEL
Primary AIR
Aria SECONDARIA
Wood
CLOSED
1/2 OPEN
IMPORTANT:
•
do not add further wood between one complete load and the next;
•
do not suffocate the fire by closing the air intakes;
•
regular cleaning by a chimney sweep reduces fine particle emissions.

10. NORMAL OPERATION
After having positioned the registers correctly, insert the indicated hourly wood load avoiding overloads that cause anomalous stresses
and deformations.
You should always use the product with the door closed in order to avoid damages due to overheating (forge
effect). The inobservance of this rule makes the warranty expire.
For safety reasons the door of the appliances with constructive system 1, must be opened only for the loading of the fuel or for removing
the ashes, while during the operation and the rest, the door of the hearth must remain closed.
The appliances with constructive system 2 must be connected to their own flue. The operating with open door is allowed under supervision.
IMPORTANT: For safety reasons the door of the hearth can be opened only for the loading of the fuel. The hearth door must
always remain closed during operation or rest
.
With the controls positioned on the front of the appliance it is possible to adjust the heat emission of the hearth. They have to be opened
according to the calorific need. The best combustion (with minimum emissions) is reached when, by loading the wood, most part of the air
for combustion flows through the secondary air register.
Never overload the appliance
(see the hourly wood load in the table here below). Too much fuel and too much air for the combustion may
cause overheating and then damage the stove. You should always use the appliance with the door closed in order to avoid damages due
to overheating (forge effect).
The inobservance of this rule makes the warranty expire
.
The adjustment of the registers necessary to reach the rated calorific yield with a depression at the stack of 17-20 Pa 1,7-2 mm of column
of water) is the following one: see chapter TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION.
The appliance works as an intermittent operating appliance
.
In the event that the water temperature exceeds the tripping temperature of the safety devices, immediately suspend the feeding
of wood, and make sure that the water temperature and the flame decrease, eliminating the causes of the overheating (if necessary
by closing the air register).
If the water system is connected in the thermo-fireplace, the hot water tap can be opened to speed up the cooling of the appliance.
Besides the adjustment of the air for the combustion, the intensity of the combustion and consequently the thermal performance of the
device is influenced by the stack. A good draught of the stack requires a stricter adjustment of air for combustion, while a poor draught
requires a more precise adjustment of air for combustion.
To verify the good combustion, check whether the smoke coming out from the stack is transparent.
