On each model there are two air regulations: ex-
ternal air intake lever, primary and secondary air
regulation.
The entrance of comburent air inside the cooker is
regulated by a valve ruled by a lever placed below
the ash door. The valve is closed in the right posi-
tion while is open in the left position. To regulate
this device, see picture 25. In case of model with
flue outlet on the left, the regulation of the lever is
symmetrical (valve closed in the left position, open
in the right position)
The primary air regulator, located in the front of
the cooker, is ruled by a graduate hand grip which
regulates the combustion speed. Low values en-
sure less power and bigger autonomy. High values
ensure more power and less autonomy. The regu-
lator is automatic and maintains steady the heating
produced by the cooker.
The secondary air is set automatically according
both to the setting of opening of the air entrance
lever and to the primary air lever and the effective
working conditions and draught of the device.
The air introduced in correspondence of the fire
door is fixed and set to allow an optimal combus-
tion and, in case of cookers with fire door with
glass, to keep clean the glass.
When the cooker is cold, we suggest to close the
lever below the ash door and set the primary air
regulator to value 0, in order to limit the undesired
air flow that may cause an anticipated cooling of
the device and the room. This operation is par-
ticularly important when the external air intake of
the cooker is directly connected. Generally, for an
optimal working of the device, it is suggested to
follow the indications for the regulation of air re-
ported in table 5.
better draught. To light the fire, you can use well
dried wood, very subtly cut, together with the spe-
cific products you can find in commerce. The com-
bustion may be difficult as long as the chimney is
cold. The necessary time depends on the chimney
and on the weather conditions. When the fire be-
comes powerful you must turn off the key in order
to force the fume to heat the other parts of the
cooker. The cooker is designed to work with the
key turned off, the use with the key opened does
not allow the cooker to work at its best and may
cause overheating and consequent damages.
