8. ADMITTED/NOT ADMITTED FUEL
The fuel admitted is made of wood logs. One must use only logs of dry wood (water content max. 20 %).
The wood pieces should have a length of 30 cm. and a maximum circumference of 30 cm’s.

*Resinous wood not suitable for the burning
The wood used as fuel must have a moisture contents lower than 20%, which is obtained after at least 1
year drying (tender wood) or 2 years (hard wood) and must be stored in a dry and ventilated place (for ex.
Under a shed). The wet wood makes ignition more difficult because it is necessary a greater quantity of
energy to evaporate the existing water. The humid contents has the disadvantage that, with the
temperature lowering, the water condensates first in the hearth and then in the chimney. The unseasoned
wood contains about 60 % of H20, then it is not suitable to be burnt.
Among the others, the following cannot be burnt: remainders of coal, cut-outs, scraps of bark and
panels, humid wood or treated with varnishes, plastic materials; in this case the warranty on the
equipment expires.
Paper and carton must be used only for ignition. The combustion of wastes is forbidden and may damage
the stove and the chimney, causing health damages and claims by the neighbourhood owing to the bad
smell. The wood is not a fuel, which allows a continuous operation of the appliance, as consequence the
heating all over the night is not possible.
ATTENTION: the continuous and protracted use of aromatic wood (eucalyptus, myrtle etc.) quickly
damages the cast iron parts (cleavage) of the product.
9. LIGHTING
IMPORTANT: the first time that the appliance is lit, there will be an odour given off (due to the drying of
the adhesives of the junction chord), which disappears after a short use. It must be ensured, in any
case, a good ventilation of the environment. Upon the first ignition we suggest loading a reduced
quantity of fuel and slightly increasing the calorific value of the equipment.
To make a correct first lighting of products treated with paints for high temperatures it is important to
consider the following points:
•
The materials of construction these products are not homogeneous, because parts in cast iron steel,
refractory and majolica coexist.
•
The products are subject to a non homogeneous temperature: from one side to the other the
differences on temperature go from 300° C to 500° C .
•
During its life the appliance must support alternate cycles of lighting and switching off in the same day
and cycles of intense utilization or absolute rest according to the seasons.
