3.1 Fuel characteristics
The appliance should preferably be fuelled with
well seasoned beech/birch wood. Each type of
wood has different characteristics that also affect
the combustion efficiency.
The use of conifers (pine-fir) is discour-
aged: they contain high quantities of
resinous substances that quickly clog
the flue.
Waste, bark, wood treated with paints,
panels, coal, plastic materials, paper
and cardboard cannot be burned,
under penalty of forfeiture of the appli-
ance warranty.
The continuous and prolonged use of
wood particularly rich in aromatic oils
(e.g. eucalyptus, myrtle, etc.) causes
sudden deterioration of the internal
components of the product.
The nominal yield declared in kW of the stove, is
obtained by burning a correct quantity of wood,
being careful not to overload the combustion
chamber.
The wood must have a recommended humidity
no higher than 25%, an ideal length of approxi-
mately 33 cm and must be placed in a horizontal
position, making sure not to completely obstruct
the slots in the fire box grate and the front and
rear holes of the combustion air distributor.
The reference standard for the fuel is UNI/ISO
17225-1 "wood logs of forest origin".
It is prohibited to use the appliance as
an incinerator to burn rubbish.
