back and in front of the insert; if the air throttle is open at 100%, i.e. in its leftmost
position, the fuel will burn with high intensity);
• it is recommended, at the final stage of burning, to open the door and move the
remaining embers onto the grate, using a poker, so that all fuel is used up;
• set the circulation pump controller thermostat between 40 ÷ 70 ° C;
• Activate a basic heat source, e.g. a boiler;
• test the functioning of other components of the installation (when the fire is lit for
the first time).
5.4. FIRST LIGHTING AND AIR SETTINGS
Fig. 1-4. Air settings - pages 158-159.
During the first hours of operation, it is recommended to use the insert at low load,
i.e. up to 50% of normal load. For about 2 weeks, the manufacturer recommends
maintaining a small flame by burning a smaller quantity of fuel at a lower temperature.
This method of lighting the fireplace is intended to prevent cracks in the ceramic lining,
to avoid deformation of the fireplace structure or damage to the protective (paint) layer
of the insert.
The surface of the insert is covered with a special heat-resistance paint. After lighting the
fireplace, this paint initially becomes soft (care must be taken not to scratch it then) and
then hardens. Due to this process, an unpleasant smell is produced when the fireplace
is lit for the first few times. It is recommended to make sure that the room is well aired
during that time. If pets or birds are kept in the room, they should be temporarily moved
to another place.
When the fireplace is lit for the first time, water may condense on the internal walls
of the combustion chamber. This phenomenon is normal and is caused by the
condensation of water vapour contained in combustion gases. It should disappear after
the combustion chamber has heated up.
Because of too big amount of air is fed under the pan of the hearth and to the after
burning system, too much fuel in the combustion chamber causes the production of a
large amount of wood gas and the glass pane may become temporarily covered with
soot.
If combustion gases escape from the fireplace chamber, the position of the combustion
gas throttle should be adjusted and the chimney draught should be increased.
When the throttle is maximally pushed in, it will completely cut off the inflow of
air to the combustion chamber and the fire will be gradually put out. If necessary,
the grate will be cut off by a poker.
Before the next lighting, clean the hearth from remaining ash.
5.5. REFUELLING:
• fuel should be added when flames disappear over the layer of embers in the hearth;
it is best to heap embers into a pyramid-like shape onto the grate (from both sides,
to ensure a sufficient flow of air from underneath the grate for flames to appear) and
then add slivers of wood;
• embers should not be heaped over the grate in an even layer because it would
significantly reduce the flow of air from under the grate and result in a build-up of
gas in the hearth chamber and in the whole insert, which might lead to an explosion;
• wooden logs in the combustion chamber should be arranged in parallel to the plane
of the door;
