Wood burning stove/cooker – TERMOROSA TR02
The combustion air inlet in the area of installation must not be obstructed during the operation of the wood
burning stove/cooker. It is essential that in the areas where the wood burning stoves/cookers operate with
a natural draught of the chimney, as much air as required for combustion, which is up to 25 m3/hr, is
admitted. The natural recirculation of the air must be guaranteed by a number of fixed openings to the
outside, their size is decided by relevant regulations on the matter. Ask for information from your trusted
chimney sweep. The openings must be protected with grills and never be obstructed. An extraction hood
(extractor) installed in the same room or one nearby causes a depression in the area. This causes leakage
of combustible gases (dense smoke, smell); it is therefore necessary to ensure a greater flow of fresh air.
The depression of an extraction hood can, in the worst of cases, transform the flue of the wood
burning stove/cooker into an external air inlet re-sucking the smoke into the environment with
detrimental consequences for people.

8. ALLOWED/FORBIDDEN FUELS.

The fuels allowed are wood logs. Only dry wood logs must be used (containing a max water content of
20%). The logs should have a length of 30 cm and a max. circumference of 15-18 cm.
Wood used as fuel must have a humidity content of less than 20% and it is achieved with a drying time of
at least one year (soft wood) or of two years (hard wood) placing it in a dry ventilated area (for example
under a roof). Damp wood makes lighting more difficult, as a greater amount of energy is needed to
evaporate the water present. The humidity content also has the disadvantage, with the lowering of the
temperature, of making the water condense first in the furnace and then in the chimney. Fresh wood
contains approx. 60% of H20 therefore it is not suited to being burned.
The following are also impossible to burn: remains of coal, cuttings, wastes of bark and panels,
damp wood or wood treated with paints, plastic materials: in this case the guarantee on the
appliance is null and void

Beech
Oak
Elm
Poplar

Spruce*
Scots pine*
* RESINOUS WOODS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE WOOD BURNING STOVE/COOKER
Paper and cardboard must be used only for lighting. The combustion of refuse is forbidden and would
damage the wood burning stove/cooker and the flue, creating a health hazard and the disturbing smell
would give rise to complaints by the neighbourhood.
Wood is not a long term fuel and therefore it is not possible to have continuous heat of the wood burning
stove/cooker during the night.
WARNING: The continuous and prolonged used of wood particularly rich in aromatic oils (e.g.
Eucalyptus, Myrtle, etc.) causes sudden deterioration (flaking) of the components in
cast iron present in the product
