LOADING THE FUEL
d
It is forbidden to use any fuel other than wood.
It is forbidden to use any highly flammable liquid or
■
gaseous substance such as alcohol, petrol or similar.
l
Before proceeding with the operations described be-
low, consult the chapter "Fuel".
a
Before loading the fuel:
the combustion chamber must be free of ash and
■
residues of the previous combustion; if it is not,
consult the paragraph
chamber"
check that the fire bricks are positioned correctly in
■
their housing inside the combustion chamber.
To load the wood:
- open the firebox door
- arrange small slats of tender wood in the centre of the firebox, plac-
ing them on top of one another and leaving some space in between
- in between the slats add some easily combustible fuel, e.g. paper or
other ignition material available in retail shops.
9.2
ADJUSTING THE COMBUSTION AIR
The combustion air is indispensable for determining flame develop-
ment, the duration and quality of combustion and, consequently, the
thermal yield of the appliance.
Since combustion varies in relation to several factors, for example
the quality and quantity of fuel used, the characteristics of the sys-
tem and the atmospheric and weather conditions, it is necessary to
choose the most suitable adjustment of the combustion air.
d
Never load the firebox excessively with an insuf-
ficient supply of combustion air. This may cause
a consistent formation of unburned gases/fumes
which, in the absence of the flame, may jeopardise
safety.
a
A significant presence of unburned gases or fumes
inside the firebox may spark a sudden flame and, in
some cases, may even cause the glass of the door
to break.
An excessive supply of combustion air may cause
■
quicker combustion resulting in greater wood con-
sumption and a lower yield of the appliance.

"Cleaning of the combustion
The combustion air can be adjusted by shifting the combustion air
primary damper as follows:
- to reduce the influx of combustion air, pull the adjuster towards you
- to increase the influx of combustion air, push the adjuster

IGNITION
l
Verify that the firebox is not empty. If it is, fill it and
perform the operations described in the paragraph
Loading the
fuel.
d
It is forbidden to use any fuel other than wood.
It is forbidden to use any highly flammable liquid or
■
gaseous substance such as alcohol, petrol or similar.
Proceed as follows:
- open the firebox door and open the combustion air adjuster
- switch the fire on: if the wood struggles to ignite, leave the door ajar,
while closely monitoring it, for the time necessary for the flames to
develop fully
- close the firebox door
- wait for a lasting and constant flame to develop then close the com-
bustion air primary damper.
l
Any noises heard during the operating phases could
be due to the expansion of the metal plates making
up the boiler body. These noises can be more fre-
quent during the appliance ignition and switch-off
phases and must not be regarded as a manufactur-
ing defect.
Any perceived smell of smoke (especially during the
■
ignition phase) should not be regarded as a manu-
facturing defect.
l
During ignition, combustion may be difficult to
achieve until the flue gas pipes and the flue are not
hot enough.
In non-optimal weather conditions, for example
■
with low pressure or strong wind, the fume exhaust
draught may not work properly and thus generate ex-
cessive smoke in the firebox
In all these cases, proceed using a limited fuel load
■
to heat the fume pipes and the flue and then ignite
the appliance normally.
