Never switch on the device when there are combustible gases in the room.
To perform a correct first lighting of the products treated with paints for high temperature, it is necessary to know the
following information:
•
the construction materials of the involved products are not homogeneous, in fact there are simultaneously parts
in cast iron, steel, refractory material and majolica;
•
the temperature to which the body of the product is subject is not homogeneous: from area to area, variable
temperatures within the range of 300° C - 500° C are detected;
•
during its life, the product is subject to alternated lighting and extinguishing cycles in the same day, as well as to
cycles of intense use or of absolute standstill when season changes;
•
the new appliance, before being considered seasoned has to be subject to many start cycles to allow all
materials and paints to complete the various elastic stresses;
•
in detail, initially it is possible to remark the emission of smells typical of metals subject to great thermal stress,
as well as of wet paint. This paint, although during the manufacture it is backed at 250 ° C for some h ours, must
exceed many times and for a given period of time the temperature of 350 ° C before becoming completely
embedded in the metallic surfaces.
Therefore, it is extremely relevant to take these easy steps during the lighting:
1. Make sure that a strong air change is assured in the room where the appliance is installed.
2. During the first starts, do not load excessively the combustion chamber (about half the quantity indicated in the
instructions manual) and keep the product continuously ON for at least 6-10 hours with the registers less open
than the value indicated in the instructions manual.
3. Repeat this operation for at least 4-5 or more times, according to your possibilities.
4. Then load more and more fuel (following in any case the provisions contained in the installation booklet
concerning maximum load) and, if possible, keep the lighting periods long avoiding, at least in this initial phase,
short ON/OFF cycles.
5. During the first starts, no object should be leaned on the appliance and in detail on enameled surfaces.
Enameled surfaces must not be touched during heating.
6. Once the «break-in» has been completed, it is possible to use the product as the motor of a car, avoiding abrupt
heating with excessive loads.

LOW EMISSION fire lighting
Smokeless combustion is a way of lighting a fire able to significantly reduce the
emission of harmful substances. The wood burns gradually from the top downwards,
so combustion is slower and more controlled. Burnt gases pass through the high
temperatures of the flame and therefore burn almost completely. A load will last from
6 to 8 hours.
Place the logs in the hearth a certain distance apart as shown in the Picture 17 at
page 50. Arrange the largest at the bottom and the smallest at the top, or vertically in
the case of tall narrow combustion chambers. Place the fire starter module on top of
the pile, arranging the first logs in the module at right angles to the pile of wood.
Fire STARTER MODULE: This fire starter module replaces a paper or cardboard
starter. Prepare four logs, 20 cm long with a cross section of 3 cm by 3 cm Picture
17 at page 50. Cross the four logs and place them on top of the pile of wood at right
angles, with the fire lighter (wax impregnated wood fibre for example) in the middle.
The fire can be lit with a match.
If you want, you can use thinner pieces of wood. In this case, you will need a larger
quantity. Keep the flue gas exhaust valve and combustion air regulator open (1A -
2A).
After lighting the fire, leave the combustion air regulator open in the position Picture
17 (1A-Off / 2A-On).
IMPORTANT:
• do not add further wood between one complete load and the next;
• do not suffocate the fire by closing the air intakes;
• regular cleaning by a chimney sweep reduces fine particle emissions.
