8.1

First ignition

The first ignition must be carried out
by the installer.
Before commissioning, remove the
stickers and packaging inside the fire
box and the external stickers applied to
the glass.
The first lighting operation is a fundamental op-
eration, used to test the product in full function,
and to gradually evaporate the water used in the
construction mixtures, which will make it resist-
ant and long-lasting.
First lighting must be carried out with
reduced loads (approximately 1 kg/h),
keeping the appliance on for at least
4 hours at low speeds. Proceed with
these feed rates for at least three days
before using the appliance at its full
capacity. This will allow for the evap-
oration of any moisture accumulated
in the refractory elements when not
used.
During the first ignition of the item,
unpleasant odours or fumes may be
generated due to the evaporation or
drying out of the materials used, and
water may seep from grouting. This
phenomenon will gradually disappear.
For this reason during the first lighting it is rec-
ommended to maintain the premises well airy.

8.2 combustion

The wood-fired appliance has been designed for
intermittent combustion. This means the product
will need to be periodically loaded within a time
period that guarantees the complete burning of
the previous load until nothing is left but burning
embers.
