7. IGNITION AND USAGE
Important on the first ignition: Some water
droplets may be released from the Stove by
condensation, produced by the humidity of the
environment where your Stove has been stored.
The first ignition must be done slowly.
The reasons are:
• Stabilise the cast iron parts.
•
Cure the sealing cement.
Tips:
• Use small loads at the beginning.
• To start the draft, heat the chimney by
inserting a lighted paper through the gap
between the front and the baffle, directing it
towards the chimney.
• During the first ignition, ensure the room is
well ventilated as paint fumes may be given
off.
• Keep the Stove on for a few hours at this rate.
• IMPORTANT! The total height of the load
must not exceed 50% of the height of the
combustion chamber.
• The compact must remain closed during
combustion
to
escaping. Open it only during reloads.
When the Stove is in operation, opening
operations should be carried out slowly to
avoid fumes and accidental burns.
The glass is ceramic glass, which radiates
heat. It can reach high temperatures.
For daily use.
Your Stove is ready for daily use, after the first
ignition.
The heating needs of your home will determine
how often you must load firewood.
Ignite the Stove slowly if it is cold.
Caution in overheating.
Overheating means you have run your Stove at
too high a temperature for an extended period.
This can damage your Stove and should,
therefore, be avoided.
Overheating results from an excessive draft,
which can happen for one of these reasons:
prevent
smoke
The air valve has been opened too much for
the type of wood used.
The chimney is too high.
Inadequate maintenance, which can lead to
air leaks.
Ceramic seals in bad conditions.
Inadequate
temperatures.
Door not closed properly.
ATTENTION!
During operation, uncontrolled air intake
causes overheating, which can damage the
Stove.
The air-inlet cut off plate is necessary to obtain
the results accredited by the Official laboratory
that has tested this product.
To remove the air-inlet cut off plate, first remove
the vermiculite starting from the sides and the
back, the lower and upper baffle. Remove the air-
inlet cut off plate by lifting and turning 90
degrees, and then put the baffles back on (the
rear and side ones). See the section on
from
"Vermiculite installation".
The vermiculite sides and rear are not included in
the "HF" version.
