Log size
The size of the wood logs can also affect the efficiency of the product:
- It is essential for the wood to be arranged on the grate on top of a layer
of embers.
- The logs must not touch the Aluker or the glass window and must not
be stacked, unless it remains within nominal consumption limits (see
“
TECHNICAL DATA
”). Place the wood as shown in the figure 42.
- We therefore recommend using logs of the following size:
perimeter approx. 30/35 cm;
length approx. 20–25–30 cm according to the type of hearth.

5.2 sMOkE DAMPER REGuLATION
When lighting the firebox, put the damper to the open “APERTO” position until a bed of embers has been formed.
Once the firebox is properly lit, put the damper to the operating position, which may vary according to the atmospheric conditions, the type of flue
and consequently the draught. You will learn by trial and error which is the best position for the smoke damper.
Should the flue have a strong draught exceeding 12 [Pa], the smoke damper must be moved towards the closed “CHIUSO” position.
a
Before stoking up with logs, always set the damper to the open “APERTO” position. After having stoked up, set the damper back to
the operating position.
a
An excessive increase in fuel and excessive opening of the smoke damper, leads to an increase in appliance heat, decrease in
efficiency and an increase in wood consumption.
Damper positions: (
A
) closed, (
B
) 1/3 open and (
C
) open.
