5 Lighting
It is recommended to carry out all the manual operations using the glove supplied.
5.1 First lighting
The first few ignitions (after installation or at the start of the season) must be carried out with reduced
loads (~ 2 kg/h), keeping the product on for at least 4 hours at low rates. Proceed with these feed rates
for at least three days before using the appliance at its full capacity. This will allow for the evaporation
of any moisture accumulated in the refractory elements when not used.
The first time the fireplace is lit, unpleasant odours or fumes may be generated by the evaporation
or drying of the various materials used, and water may seep from the grout. This phenomenon will
gradually disappear.
For this reason during the first lighting it is recommended to maintain the premises well airy.
5.2 Lighting

Each type of wood has different characteristics that also affect the combustion efficiency.
It is strictly prohibited to use any type of coal, wood treated with protective substances, cardboard and paper.
