Igniting with cold hearth
1
Check that the ash bed is not too high.
Maximum height: 5 cm below the edge of
the panel.
If the ash bed becomes too high, there is a
danger that when opening the panel to add
wood, fragments of coal may fall out of the
hearth.
2
. Completely pull the regulating control
(fig 7 - page 14) of the air valve in the
"switch on" position. Air for fuelling will
flow intensely to the wood in the hearth, to
rapidly reach high heating power.
3
. The wood must be placed in the hearth
without excessively crowding it. Place an
igniter between the wood logs, and ignite.
The igniters are practical aids which ignite
only if placed underneath or in front of
wood waste. Attention: very large wood
logs do not ignite properly in a cold hearth
and free noxious gasses.
Never use material such as petrol, alcohol
and similar to ignite the hearth!
4
. At this point, close the hearths panel
and supervise for a few minutes. Should the
fire go out, slowly open the panel, allocate
another igniter between the wood logs and
re-ignite.
5
. Should the fire not require further
addition of wood, the moment the same
fire is exhausted, push the regulating lever
(fig. 7 - page 14) of the air valve in the
"maintain fire" position. Do not carry out
such regulation during the fuelling phase
and the release of noxious gasses, in
that, when the lever is in the maintain fire
position, the air flow for fuelling results
completely blocked. In case of sudden
oxygen flow (for ex. due to the opening of
the hearths panel) the "gasses still present"
in the hearth and in the eventual heat
recovery surfaces, may react violently with
said atmospheric incoming oxygen

USE INSTRUCTIONS
Power supply with hot hearth
1
Pull the regulating control (fig 7 - page
14) of the air valve in the "switch on"
position and add the required amount
of wood in the hearth, placing it on the
existing coal. In this way, the wood will heat
up with the consequent expulsion of steam
and of the contained humidity. This leads
to a decrease of the temperature inside the
hearth. The volatile substances let out at
this point by the fuelling material require a
sufficient air flow, so that this critical phase
can be rapidly carried out and the required
temperature can be reached for the correct
fuelling.
A further suggestion:
For the initial ignition of the hearth, always
use the smaller wood logs. These rapidly
burn and therefore bring the hearth to
the right temperature in less time. Use the
larger logs of wood to re-power the hearth.
Certain types of wood briquettes inflate
once they are in the hearth, meaning they
stretch under the heat and increase in
volume. Always place the wood well inside
the hearth, nearly touching the rear wall of
the same, so that should it slide, it does not
fall in the panel.
