GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The equipment that you have purchased contains the following pieces:
- Fireplace body with hood and chimney trim. Both placed on the pallet.
- Inside the combustion chamber you can find: a box/bag with a thermal glove that allows us to handle the air controls, draft-diverter
valve, door, etc, in order to avoid burns. One electric blowtorch (batteries not included) in order to facilitate fire's ignition. One spray
paint can to repair possible scratches, etc.
- One small rake in order to stoke the fire and move the embers. One telescopic grate and one baffle plate.
- Inside the ash pan: "cold hands" handle and handle of the ash pan.
The equipment is made of several elements of steel sheets welded, with different thickness, and, depending on the model, pieces of cast iron
or vermiculite (orange-coloured refractory material that covers the walls). It also has a panoramic door with vitro ceramic glass (resistant up to
750ºC) and ceramic cord for the air tightness of the combustion chamber.
Heating is produced by:
a) Convection: because the air passes through the double hood (when applicable), the fireplace gives off heat.
Radiation: through the vitro ceramic glass and the body the heat is irradiated towards the environment.
b)
The models have some settings for a perfect combustion control:
The primary air intake (see drawing D1) is located under the ash pan, under
the door. It controls the air that passes through the ash pan and the grate
towards the fuel. The primary air is necessary for the combustion process.
The ash pan should be emptied frequently so that the ash does not block the
primary air intake for the combustion. Also, the primary air rekindles the fire.
The secondary air intake (see drawing D2) is located on the top of the door,
between the door and the bottom of the hood. In this way, the carbon that
was not burnt during the first combustion can suffer a post-combustion. This
increases the efficiency and assures that the glass keeps clean.
Baffle plate:
The baffle plate is a fundamental part for the proper operation of the fireplace.
It must be placed in the right position and the fireplace must not be used
without the baffle plate. This would invalidate the warranty (see drawings
D4, D5 and D6).
WARNING!
The lack of the baffle plate causes an excessive draw. This
causes a fast combustion, excessive wood consumption and
the overheating of the equipment.
INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
D2
The combustion is not always stable. In fact, it can be affected by the weather
conditions or the outside temperature. This modifies the draw of the chimney.
For this reason, our fireplaces have a baffle plate (or double baffle plate) and
a draft-diverter valve that controls and improves the draw.
Draft-diverter valve:
For the proper use of the valve we will follow the next steps (see drawing D3):
1- pull on the stainless steel knob
2- rotate it to the desired position
3- introduce the knob into the hole
