USE

3.1 OPERATION
During the operation, inside the stove happens
a combustive reaction of combustible (the wood
inserted in the combustion chamber) and burning
(the oxygen present in the air of the room in which
the stove is placed). The wood fired cooker makes
an intermittent combustion: after the lighting, the
combustion goes on till the exhaustion of the com-
bustible but it can be maintained lighted by making
another load of combustible and so on.
The maintenance of the combustion in time is
guaranteed by the correct working of the chimney,
which allows to evacuate the fumes and in the
same time to feed the flame with oxidising air. In
this way, the features of the chimney have a big
influence on the correct working of the device.
The combustion of wood requests that the air
WARNING! For a correct operation verify that the passage of oxidising air in the intake
of the stove, the eventual air intake in the room and all the other ventilation grids are
not obstructed.
3.2 LIGHTING
To light the fire it must be used as combustible well
dried thin wood together with specific products
available in commerce.
If it is used a limited amount of wood or if the
wood has been cut too roughly, the combustion
chamber will not reach the correct working tem-
perature. A difficult combustion can produce soot
in excess or the exhaustion of the flame when the
door is closed.
The combustion might be difficult until the chim-
ney is hot. The necessary time depends on how
the chimney has been made and the weather con-
WARNING! It is important that the wood starts to burn quickly. The lighting of a big
amount of wood in starting phase can cause an excessive production of smoke and a
quick gas emission with consequent damage to the stove.
flow inside the combustion chamber happens in
different points to obtain the maximum efficien-
cy. In particular, it is present a primary air feeding
that flows from the upper part of the combustion
chamber and one of secondary air that flows from
the rear part of the combustion chamber.
The primary air is the main air and regulates the
combustion speed. The secondary air allows the
post-combustion of the fumes, generating further
heating, knocking down the amount of harmful
gas and so improving both the rendering and the
impact on the environment. Once started the com-
bustion it cannot be interrupted in a safe way: it
must be always faded out naturally with the ex-
haustion of all the combustible inserted.
ditions.
To obtain a quick lighting, the ash-shaking handle
must be completely open as the primary air regula-
tion, then insert in the combustion chamber about
2 kg of crossed broken wood (about 10 - 12 pieces
of small size and length 25 – 33 cm), light the stove
and keep the fire door ajar (when reclosing it keep
the handle in closed position until the hook gets in
touch with the closing roll).
After few minutes, once the combustion is well go-
ing, the fire door must be correctly closed.
