Quantity of fuel
Avoid introducing an excessive quantity of fuel and
reaching overheating values that exceed those indicat-
ed for the design. The fireplace may be damaged.
− Use small pieces of firewood
− Create a bed of embers
− To avoid the accumulation of dirt on the glass, leave
the door a bit open during the first few minutes. This
allows any condensation that forms at the beginning
to evaporate without accumulating on the glass.
Maximum quantity of fuel
− Charge for 4 h.3 pieces with a diameter of
approx. 6 cm.
Primary air open by 2/3
Secondary air open
− Charge for 6 h.6 pieces with a diameter of
approx. 8 cm.
Primary air open by 1/3
Secondary air closed
− Charge for 8 h.8 pieces with a diameter of
approx. 8 cm.
Primary air closed
Secondary air closed
Bed of embers
Control of the power of the fireplace is achieved
through air inlets. Since fireplace performance also
depends on flue draft, openings have to be controlled
according to your personal experience.
• Responding to modern demands also implies assum-
ing a number of responsibilities. Respecting nature is
one of the most important of these requirements. Our
products are always the most up-to-date solutions in
terms of technological development. This is the funda-
mental premise for a clean, efficient and irreproach-
able operation of our fireplaces.
CLEAN COMBUSTION
The fundamental premises for clean combustion in-
clude:
− Wood has to be dry and non-treated - indicative
value: 15% relative humidity, wood stored in a dry
and well ventilated place for at least 2-3 years.
− A fireplace is not a “waste disposal installation”.
Combustion of waste and unsuitable material, such as
plastic, treated wood, etc. leads to poor combustion
and cancellation of the warranty!
Further consequences include damaging and dirtying
the device, the flue and the environment.
− Too much wood causes overheating: the material is
excessively stressed and the fireplace produces nega-
tive values of combustion gas.
− Too little wood or excessively large logs do not al-
low the fireplace to reach the best operational tem-
perature. In this case combustion gas values are nega-
tive too.
Warning: Only compressed wooden logs, dry firewood
and lignite blocks can be burnt in this fireplace. It is
not possible to burn plastic, carpentry treated wood
(e.g.: fossil coal blocks or textiles). Using the fireplace
with a fuel different from that indicated in the manual
will render any manufacturer warranty void.
COMBUSTION
Combustion inside the fireplace is possible thanks to
the combination of the inflow and outflow of air. Air is
the element that controls the fuel.
Important: Use the supplied glove to control the pri-
mary and secondary air inlets.
Primary air
Completely opening and then closing the primary air
intake allows the combustion to proceed by inertia
and heat for a few hours. Increasing the inflow of pri-
mary air increases:
•power in kw
•Pascal = + draft
•firewood consumption
Secondary air
During operation it is advisable to keep the second-
ary air intake always open (default factory values).
In this way combustion quality improves; you avoid
useless environment contamination and the glass re-
mains clean, furthermore it helps avoiding soot build-
up in the fireplace. Increasing the inflow of primary
air increases:
•lower power kw
•lower Pascal = lower draft
•lower firewood consumption
