LIGHTING AND FUNCTIONING OF THE FIRE
Important: the fire must be lit using thin, dry wood.
1. Load a generous amount of firewood, placing a layer of wood chips or thin firewood and another layer of
thicker wood on top.
2. Light the first layer of wood chips or thin wood using fire-lighters or special lighting products, if necessary.
3. Leave the door ajar, leaving an opening of 0.5 – 1 cm. this way permitting the entrance of enough air in order
to get a quick lighting.
4. Once the Wood is fully lit, close the door and regulate the air entrance. If you see that the volume of flames
diminishes or that the fire goes out and smoke starts to fill the firebox, open the air entrance further or repeat
step three.
When reloading, if there are not enough flames or embers to light the new load of wood, repeat step three and four.
Select your firewood in order to obtain the desired results: finer wood of less calibre should be used for obtaining a
higher thermic output, use it just after lighting the fire for a quicker response and when you need more heat.
Use thicker wood, of a higher calibre for obtaining a slower combustion, when you need less heat or for nocturnal
use, always preceded by a cycle of higher output with thinner wood.
Do not open the door unnecessarily once the device is heated.
During functioning, when opening the door for reloading, open it slowly in order to avoid smoke from entering the
room.
Do not use volatile flammable substances like alcohol, gasoil, burning liquids
or gel for lighting in order to start or rekindle the fire.
In wood burner stoves, prolonged and continuous use at a very low rate of combustion
or with very wet wood can cause highly flammable creosote to build up in the flue.
When lighting the fire for the very first time, smoke and smells may be produced by the
drying and evaporation of the paint solvent. Therefore, keep the room ventilated the first
time the stove is lit.
3 - 3. Regulation of the primary and secondary air inlets.
You have purchased an insert fireplace model of maximum efficiency and output. Therefore, the control of the
primary air, situated below the door, and the secondary air, situated above the door, are fundamental when trying
to achieve maximum results and optimum combustion.
