4.1 - INSULATION FIBER ASSEMBLY
The insulating fiber assembly is necessary to ensure
the proper performance of the heating appliance:
look at par. 8.
5 - VERIFYING THE INSTALLATION AND
LIGHTING UP FOR THE FIRST TIME
Once installed in its final position, check that all
joints have been sealed to prevent outside air from
entering, which would affect the draw.
Before lining the stove with bricks or any other
combustible material, check that it works correctly.
It is advisable, when lighting the fireplace for the
first time, to open windows to let any fumes or
odours that may be caused by the combustion of
the protective paint solvents or any other material
to escape.
LIGHTING
When lighting the stove, first prepare a bed of
paper on the based on the cast iron grille. Then,
place a layer of sticks or firewood. Before lighting
this paper base, you should place a piece of paper
on the vermiculite baffle via the front door, and
light it. This produces a rapid warming of the
chimney, expelling the cold air inside (especially on
cold winter days), and generates draw as well as
preventing smoke from seeping into the room.
Now you can light the base of paper and thin wood.
Leave the door slightly ajar for at least 20 minutes.
Once the flame has stabilised, close the door and
the device can be adjusted using the primary air
valve.
Open the door when you do the next load of fuel,
and ensure lock the door after.
ATTENTION! When working, the metal parts
of the fireplace may reach high temperatures.
Protect your hands with a fireproof glove when
touching the said parts
COMBUSTION AIR CONTROL
IMPORTANT! The stove must remain closed at all
times during combustion to prevent the smoke
from seeping out. Only open to load fuel.
The provision of combustion air is performed by
means of the Primary Air and Glass Pane Cleaning
Valve.
When the heater is cold, the primary air valve is
fully open to allow the flow of abundant air for the
combustion process.
This situation must be maintained at the beginning
of each lighting up process in order to heat the
fireplace and chimney, which will avoid the
formation of condensation and creosote.
It is essential to provide an abundant load of fuel
when lighting. The following loads will depend on
the heat requirement desired.
Once the stove is warm, the primary air valve can be
gradually closed, depending on the temperature of
the water inside the boiler. By adjusting the marked
regulator, you can regulate the temperature range
of the primary air valve according to your needs.
The maximum range may be achieved by
turning the knob in a counter clockwise. And
in the opposite direction (direction of rotation
clockwise) gives the minimum range.
