3.4 Adjusting the combustion air
Primary air:The primary air is adjusted with the aid of the manual revolving controls located on the ash door and
enters through the grate.
Secondary air:
The secondary air enters the stove by means of the control located on the back.
Optimum combustion conditions are obtained when, on loading wood, the air necessary for combustion enters
through the grate, whereas the secondary air, entering through air control, ensures the completion of combustion in
the upper part of the firebox.
3.5 Normal operation
Remove the ash from the grate every time before adding fuel. Put 2-3 logs of wood on the bed of embers. It is
advisable to add 1-2 logs at a time. Overloading does not increase efficiency, but will overheat the stove, damaging it.
3.6 Operation with slow combustion
Heat output can be controlled by reducing the combustion air. To guarantee operation for many hours at low heat, the
primary and secondary air controls must be opened at minimum.
A continuous fire with low output is inadvisable.
3.7 Operation in off season
With outside temperatures above 15°C, the draught m ay be affected, resulting in a decrease in heat output and
therefore flue gases not completely exhausted (smell of smoke in the room). In this case it is advisable to remove the
ash from the grate and increase the combustion air. Put less fuel on the fire and clean the grate more frequently.
3.8 Wood-fired oven operation
The wood-fired stove has a static oven with capacity of 43 litres, covered entirely in stainless steel sheet and provided
with 2 racks for holding trays, and is heated by the flue gases circulating around it; the temperature is indicated by the
thermometer located on the inside protection glass. A sufficient draught and clean fume ducts are essential for
optimum efficiency. When putting pans in the oven, take into account the possible rising of food and the minimum
space between pans and the sides of the oven (min. 20 mm).
When the stove is lit for the first time, the oven should only be used after 1-2 hours operation at 200-250°C with the
oven door left ajar to eliminate fumes produced by manufacturing process residuals such as grease, oil and sealants.
For the oven to reach adequate cooking temperatures make sure the bypass lever is in position “Z" and, if necessary,
increase the primary and secondary air flow.
Clean the oven every time it is used, following the instructions given in the section on cleaning.
