Lighting A Fire - Carbel A-70 Plus 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. 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.
Primary air inlet
Primary air inlet
It's fundamental to open the inlet completely during lighting, just as it is advisable to leave the door ajar in order
to avoid condensation of the smoke on the glass panels. Once the device is heated the door can be closed and the
primary air inlet as well.
Secondary air inlet
Should always be open during lighting of the fire.
The secondary air inlet can be regulated when the device has heated up and there is an abundance of flames.
