CUCINOTTA
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.
To light the fire, it is suggested to use small wood pieces together with paper or other traded lighting means.
It is FORBIDDEN to use any liquid substance as for ex. alcohol, gasoline, oil and similar.
The openings for air (primary and secondary) must be opened together (you must open the eventual Ignition control, and butterfly valve
placed on the pipe of smokes exhaust). When the wood starts burning, you may load other fuels and adjust the air for combustion
according to the instructions on paragraph TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION.
Please always be present during this phase.
Never overload the appliance (see the technical table - max quantity of fuel that can be loaded / hourly consumption). Too much fuel and
too much air for combustion can cause overheating and therefore damage the appliance. The warranty does not cover the damages
due to overheating of the equipment.
Never switch on the device when there are combustible gases in the room.

10.1. 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.
Place the logs in the hearth a certain distance apart as shown in the
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
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.
After lighting the fire, leave the combustion air regulator open in the position shown in according to the instructions on paragraph

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.

11. NORMAL OPERATION

After having positioned the registers correctly, insert the indicated hourly wood load avoiding overloads that cause anomalous stresses and
deformations (according to the instructions on paragraph TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION). You should always use the product with the
door closed in order to avoid damages due to overheating (forge effect). The inobservance of this rule makes the warranty expire.
For safety reasons the door of the appliances with constructive system 1, must be opened only for the loading of the fuel or for removing
the ashes, while during the operation and the rest, the door of the hearth must remain closed.
The appliances with constructive system 2 must be connected to their own flue. The operating with open door is allowed under supervision.
IMPORTANT: For safety reasons the door of the hearth can be opened only for the loading of the fuel. The hearth door must
always remain closed during operation or rest.
With the controls positioned on the front of the appliance it is possible to adjust the heat emission of the hearth. They have to be opened
according to the calorific need. The best combustion (with minimum emissions) is reached when, by loading the wood, most part of the air
for combustion flows through the secondary air register.
Never overload the appliance (see the hourly wood load in the table here below). Too much fuel and too much air for the combustion may
cause overheating and then damage the stove. You should always use the appliance with the door closed in order to avoid damages due
to overheating (forge effect). The inobservance of this rule makes the warranty expire.
The adjustment of the registers necessary to reach the rated calorific yield with a depression at the stack of 12 Pa (1,2mm of column of
water) is the following one: see chapter TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION. The appliance works as an intermittent operating appliance.
Besides the adjustment of the air for the combustion, the intensity of the combustion and consequently the thermal performance of the
device is influenced by the stack. A good draught of the stack requires a stricter adjustment of air for combustion, while a poor draught
requires a more precise adjustment of air for combustion.
To verify the good combustion, check whether the smoke coming out from the stack is transparent.
If it is white, it means that the device is not properly adjusted or the wood is too wet; if instead the smoke is gray or black, it signals that the
combustion is not complete (it is necessary a greater quantity of secondary air).
WARNING: When fuel is added onto the embers in the absence of a flame, a considerable amount of fumes may develop. Should this
happen, an explosive mixture of gas and air may form, and in extreme cases an explosion may occur. For safety reasons it is advisable
to perform a new lighting procedure with the use of small strips.
