Moreover, during the first hours of operation of the fireplace, no objects
shall be placed on it and the outer paint layer of the fireplace shall not be
touched. The paint layer that has not set yet could be damaged by touch.
Before firing, all regulators shall be opened to the maximum. Concomitantly,
air intake shall be ensured in the room. Fire can now be ignited with firing
cubes, paper or wood chips. Never use gas, alcohol, petrol, etc. Place
now the first layer of wood or a quantity of briquettes, respectively wood
briquettes, on the lively-burning fire. Place the combustible materials in
one single layer.
Optimum capability will not be reached at powers set too low, which
generates high heating costs. Long-term use with low power results in the
formation of a layer of smoke in the fireplace, particularly on the window.
When used with nominal power, depositions are at a minimum. At too
high powers, there is a danger of overheating the fireplace. Shortly, it will
deteriorate. In this case, the manufacturer’s warranty is no longer valid.
4.3
Recharge with fuel and proper use of the command devices
and regulators
For optimum operation of your fireplace, it is very important that
you observe the recharge periods and recommended fuel charge.
Exceeding the charge burden overheats the fireplace and inevitably
generates malfunctions, such as cracks in the refractory plates inside the
furnace, deformation of the fireplace, deterioration of the grill, etc.
The overheating danger is excluded if the nominal heating power is not
exceeded.
The recharge burden with fuel has the following values:
• wooden blocks – 1.5 kg
• compressed, untreated wooden blocks – 1.3 kg
Fireplaces are equipped with the following burning regulators:
• primary air regulator, the operation handle of which is found beneath
the door (upper side of the wood compartment);
• secondary air regulator, the operation button of which is found on the door
• in the upper side of it (valid for Goliath furnace)
• flue gas regulator the handle of which is found above the door (for
Goliath furnace)
The primary air regulator provides air for burning the solid fuel. The primary air
goes through the grill and through the fuel charge.
The flue gas regulator has a role in regulating the draft on the chimney stack
and has effect on the fuel consumption.

IMPORTANT INDICATIONS FOR EXPLOITATION AND SAFETY
5.1
Normal operation and proper burning
Optimum adjustment of the burning process requires experience, particularly
when the chimney draft is not constant or, for instance, wood of different quality
is used.
In order to prevent uncontrolled burning through too high air intake, which
would bring the fireplace to high temperatures very quickly, please make sure
that you never warm:
• with the ash bin door opened;
• with the flap-shutter opened during unfavorable time;
• with too strong chimney draft.

WARNING!
Improper use of air regulators and, particularly,
of the primary air regulator can damage the fireplace.
