SAFETY MEASURES

During the installation of the equipment, there are risks to be taken into account, so you should follow the next safety measures:
a. Do not place flammable objects above.
b. Do not place the stove near combustible walls.
c. The stove should only be used when the ash pan is inserted.
d. It is recommended to install carbon monoxide detector (CO) in the room where the equipment is installed.
e. Use the glove included for opening and closing the door as well as manipulating the controls as these can be very hot.
f. Solid combustion residues (ashes) should be collected in an airtight container and resistant to fire.
g. The appliance should never be turned on in the presence of emission of gases or vapours (e.g., linoleum glue, gasoline, etc).
h. Do not place nearby flammable materials.
WARNING!!
It is noted that both the stove and the glass get very hot and should not be touched.
3.2.

INTERVENTION IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

If there is fire in the stove or the flue:
a) Close the loading door.
b) Close primary and secondary air intakes.
c) Put the fire out by using carbon dioxide extinguishers (CO2 powder).
d) Request for the immediate intervention of the fire-fighters.
DO NOT PUT THE FIRE OFF WITH WATER.
WARNING:
The manufacturer declines any responsibility for the malfunction of an installation not subject to the requirements of these
instructions or the use of additional products not appropriate.

CHIMNEY

The chimney is of basic importance in the proper functioning of the stove and primarily has two functions:
- Evacuate the smoke and the gas safely out of the house.
- Provide sufficient draft to the stove in order to keep the fire.
Therefore, it is essential that it is made perfectly and that it is subjected to maintenance operations in order to keep it in good condition
(many of the claims due to malfunctioning reasons refer exclusively to a bad draft). The chimney can be made of masonry or metallic pipe
compound.
It is necessary to comply with the following requirements for the proper operation of the stove:
• The interior section must be perfectly circular.
• It must be thermally insulated along its entire length in order to prevent condensation (the smoke is liquefied by heat shock) and even
more if the installation is outside the house.
• If we use metallic pipe for the installation outside the house, it is compulsory to use thermal insulated pipe. It consist of two concentric
pipes and, between them, there is a thermal insulator. Moreover, we will avoid condensation problems.
• It should not have bottlenecks (enlargements or reductions) and it must be vertical with deviations not higher that 45º.
• Do not use horizontal sections.
• If it has been used previously, it must be clean.
• Respect the technical data of the instructions manual.
** For the fitter
The optimum draft for the stoves vary between 12+/-2 Pa (1.0–1.4 mm water column). We recommend checking the technical information of
the product.
A lower value causes a bad combustion causing carbonic deposits and excessive smoke generation, having leaks and, even worse, an
increase of the temperature that could damage the structural components of the stove, while a higher value leads to a too rapid combustion
with the heat dispersion through the flue.
Materials that are prohibited for the chimney and, therefore, damage the proper functioning of the equipment are: fibre cement, galvanized
steel (at least in the first few meters) and rough and porous interior surfaces. drawing D34 shows some examples of solution.
All stoves that send smoke to the exterior should have their own chimney.
Never use the same chimney for several equipments at the same time (see drawing D35 and D36).
The minimum diameter must be 4 dm2 (for example, 20 x 20 cm) for stoves with a diameter below 200 mm or 6.25 dm2 (for example, 25 x 25
cm) for equipments with a diameter higher than 200 mm.
