COMBUSTION
The stove must be fed with dry wood (well-seasoned beech/
birch is excellent) in the amount shown in the specifi cation
table on page 21 (length 20-25 cm).
Each type of wood has different characteristics that also affect
the combustion yield.
The stove's nominal yield declared in kW can be obtained by
burning the right amount of wood (specifi ed in the table on
page 21).
Fuel and heating power
Combustion has been optimised from a technical point of
view both with regards to the design of the hearth and its
air supply as well as in terms of emissions.
Please support our commitment to a clean environment by
observing the directions listed below regarding the use of
combustible materials that do not contain and do not produce
harmful substances.
As far as fuel, use only natural and seasoned wood or
wood briquettes.
Wet or fresh cut wood or wood stored improperly present a
high water content and therefore do not burn properly, create
smoke and produce little heat.
Only use fi rewood which has been seasoned for a minimum
of year two years in a ventilated and dry environment.
In this case, water content will be below 20% of the weight.
This way you will save in terms of combustible material, as the
seasoned wood has a much higher calorifi c value.
Never use liquid fuels such as gasoline, alcohol or similar. Do
not burn waste.
Note:
Seasoned wood has a calorifi c value of approximately
4 kWh/kg, while fresh cut wood has a calorifi c value of only 2
kWh/kg.
Therefore, to achieve the same calorifi c value you would have
to use double the fuel.

ATTENTION:
If the hearth is fuelled by an excessive amount of fuel or an
improper fuel, the danger of overheating can occur with conse-
quent damage to the product.
(e.g. breakage or deformation of the internal parts, which the
dealer and Edilkamin can deal with).
