On each model there are three air regulations: ex-
ternal air intake lever, primary air regulation and
secondary air regulation.
The entrance of comburent air inside the ther-
mal cooker is regulated by a valve ruled by a lever
placed below the ash door. The valve is closed in
the right position while is open in the left position.
To regulate this device, see picture 29. 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 open position is indicated when the device is
working. It allows the entrance of the
combustive air necessary to feed the flame. The
thermal cooker cannot work with the
lever in closed position. In presence of a hood with
high draught it could be useful to set the lever at
an intermediate po sition, in order to obtain a par-
tial opening of the air conduct.
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 heat-
ing 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 prima-
ry 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 combustion and, in case of RTVE
thermal cookers, to keep clean the glass. When
the thermal 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 4.
obtain a better draught. To light the fire, you can
use well dried wood, very subtly cut, together with
the specific products you can find in commerce.
The combustion 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 becomes powerful you must turn off the
key in order to force the fume to heat the other
parts of the thermal cooker. The thermal cooker is
designed to work with the key turned off, the use
with the key opened does not allow the thermal
cooker to work at its best and may cause overheat-
ing and consequent damages.

WARNING! During the combustion do not open the fire door otherwise a smoke leak
could happen. The thermal cooker has been designed to be used with the fire door clo-
sed.
