Lighting A Fire - Carbel KRONOS 100 DC Manual De Montaje, Uso Y Mantenimiento

3.4 Lighting a fire

Important: lighting a fire must be done with 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. You must leave the pieces crossed and with enough separation between them to allow
proper air flow.
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, with an opening between 0,5cm to 3cm, so that enough air can enter for the fire to light
quickly.
4. Once the wood is well-lit, wait until the wood burner temperature is high before completely closing the door
(10 to 45 minutes, depending on factors like wood, air circulation, etc.) and adjust the air inlet. If you find that the
volume of flames decreases, or the fire tends to go out and the smoke inside the fireplace increases, open the air
intake more or repeat step 3
When you reload with more wood, if there are not enough embers to light the new load of wood, repeat steps 3
and 4.
When the wood burner is in operation, you must not open the door. When putting more wood on the fire, open
the door slowly to prevent the smoke inside the fireplace from blowing out into the room.
3.5 Adjusting primary and secondary air inlet
You have purchased an insert model that offers maximum efficiency and performance. Therefore, control of the
primary and secondary air inlet is essential to achieve optimum combustion levels.
In order to avoid burns when adjusting the air inlets, please use the regulation lever supplied with the device.
The optimal regulation of the air inlets can vary depending on various factors, such as the chimney flue, the
temperature of the wood burner, the quality of the wood (moisture, size and shape).
