Instructions for use

Fuel

The.only.suitable.fuels.for.this.stove.are.wood,.brown.coal.briquettes.and.charcoal..No.other.
fuels are allowed to be burnt, as they can inflict serious damage to your stove.
Do.not.burn.any.treated.wood.either,.such.as.scrap.wood,.dyed.wood,.impregnated.or.pre-
served.wood,.plywood.or.chipboard..The.fumes.of.these,.as.of.synthetic.materials,.old.papers.
and.household.waste,.are.highly.polluting.for.both.your.stove.and.your.chimney,.and.for.the.
environment. They also could cause chimney fires.
Wood
Hard.woods,.such.as.oak,.birch-.and.fruit-trees,.are.the.ideal.fuels.for.your.stove.
The.wood.must.have.dried.for.at.least.two.years.in.a.covered.and.well-ventilated.place..Split.
logs.will.dry.faster..Dry.wood.should.contain.no.more.than.twenty.percent.moisture.
Wet.logs.are.unsuitable.for.burning,.as.they.do.not.produce.enough.heat.and.all.of.the.energy.
is.lost.in.the.process.of.evaporation..Moreover,.the.burning.of.wet.wood.causes.badly.smel-
ling.gases.to.be.released.and.a.thick.layer.of.tar.will.deposit.on.the.stove.panels.and.in.the.
chimney.
Brown coal briquettes
Brown.coal.briquettes.burn.in.more.or.less.the.same.way.as.wood.does..You.should.only.burn.
briquettes.on.a.bed.of.charcoal.in.your.stove.
Charcoal
There. are. several. categories. of. anthracite. coal.. Some. characteristics. may. be. legally. deter-
mined..For.instance.anthracite."A".has.to.contain.less.than.10%.of.volatile.substances,.anthra-
cite."B".less.than.12%..The.ash.content.may.range.from.3.to.13%.
For.a.good.operation.of.your.appliance,.the.use.of.anthracite."A".with.a.low.ash.content.is.re-
commended..A.combustible.with.a.high.ash.content.has.a.lower.net.heating.value..Moreover,.
the ashes have to be removed more frequently and the fire will go out faster. The recommen-
ded.calibre.is.12/22.or.20/30.
Air supply adjustment
For.the.supply.of.combustion.air,.the.stove.is.equipped.with.two.vents..which.are.adjustable.
by.means.of.two.levers.at.the.bottom.of.the.front.panel.of.the.stove.(see.picture)..Through.
special.air.ducts,.primary.air.(1).is.led.to.the.bottom.of.the.combustion.chamber..Secondary.
air.(2).reaches.the.top.of.the.glass.panel..
