A
DESCRIPTION OF THE COOKER
3.1
FUEL CHARACTERISTICS
The cookers are preferably supplied with properly aged
beechwood; in commercial size of 25, 33 or 50 cm.
Maximum allowable moisture content is 25%.
Each type of wood has different characteristics that also
in
À
uence combustion yield.
It is absolutely prohibited to use any kind of coal,
wood treated with protective substances, cardboard
or paper (use only for lighting).
It is prohibited to use the cooker as an incinerator.
Burning of waste is prohibited in compliance with
laws concerning the emission of gases. Combusted
gases deriving from combustion may result in

harmful to your health.
It is forbidden to burn: pieces of bark, wood treated with
varnish, pressed wood panels, coal, plastic materials; in
this case, the guarantee on the appliance is no more valid.
IMPORTANT: the continuous and prolonged burning of
wood types rich of aromatic oils (e.g. eucalyptus, myrth,
etc.) will cause the rapid corrosion of the cast iron parts
of the appliance.
3.2
DESCRIPTION
The
Alba THERMO
cooker uniformly heats while it cooks,
for greater ef
¿
ciency and savings. Its structure and the
special layout of the
¿
rebox in refractory material in fact
guarantee - with limited wood consumption - a high level
of thermal ef
¿
ciency and durable heat accumulation,
which is useful both for cooking on the plate as well as
in the oven, and to produce hot water to heat radiators.

3.3 COMBUSTION
There are many factors that contribute to good combustion
in terms of heat performance and low emission of
polluting substances (CO - carbon monoxide).
Some of these factors depend on the unit itself while
others depend on the environmental and installation
conditions and on the routine maintenance carried out
on the product and on the
À
ue.
Some of the important factors are:
• air for combustion;
• quality of the wood (humidity and dimensions);
• features of the combustion products evacuation
system.
Some indications are given in the following paragraphs
that should be complied with to achieve maximum cooker
performance.
