- It is important to ensure that there is water
in the boiler-stoveand the system before
igniting the boiler-stoves.
- The Company is responsible for the proper fun-
ctioning of the product only if this is handled in
accordance with the documentation supplied with
the product itself.
Any unpleasant smells or smoke are caused by
materials used during construction evaporating
or drying.
This tends to die down after a few days.
N.B.: do not use alcohol, petrol (gasoline),
kerosene or other liquid fuels to light the fire.
Keep liquid fuels away from the fire. Do not use
firelighters made from petroleum or chemical
substances: they may cause serious damage to
the firebox walls. Only use eco-friendly fireli-
ghters. Overloading (more kilos than in the
table shown earlier) or excessively lively flames
may damage the firebox compartment.

Practical advice

Incomplete combustion leads to excessive depo-
sits on the heat exchanger. To avoid this, it is
necessary to:
• burn dry wood;
• make sure the firebox contains a good bed of
embers before adding other wood;
• load large diameter logs with other smaller
ones;
• make sure that at least one radiator is always
on;
• turn on the pump switch;
• fill the boiler-stove with a load of medium-
small pieces of dry wood and light the fire;
• wait a few minutes until sufficient combustion
is achieved;
• adjust the combustion using the thermoregu-
lator with thermostat;
• o It is recommended to keep the radiators closed
in the room where the boiler-stoveis installed since
the heat radiated from the opening of the boiler-
stoves itself is enough.
USE
Fuel and heating value
Combustion has been optimized from the
technical point of view both as regards the
design of the firebox and relevant air supply,
and emissions. Only use natural seasoned wood
or wood briquettes as fuel. Damp, freshly cut or
unsuitably stored wood has a high water con-
tent. Therefore it burns badly, produces a lot of
smoke and gives off little heat. Only use firewo-
od seasoned for a minimum of two years in a
dry ventilated place. In this case, the water con-
tent is less than 20% by weight. This leads to a
fuel saving, since seasoned wood has a decide-
dly greater heating value. One kilo of dry wood
produces between 2000 and 2500 kcal/kg
according to type, whereas one kilo of dry wood
of the same type after two years of seasoning
produces between 3500 and 4000 kcal/kg.
Never use liquid fuels, such as petrol (gasoline),
alcohol or similar substances. Never burn refu-
se.
Adding fuel
When "adding wood" it is advisable to use a
protective glove to avoid accidental contact with
hot parts. Open the door slowly. In this way, no
vortexes are formed which may cause smoke to
enter the room.
When is it time to add wood?
When the fuel has almost become embers.
During the combustion process
If the water temperature exceeds 90° C becau-
se of too much wood being placed in the
hearth, the thermal relief valve will be activated
and the acoustic signal heard.
In this case you must proceed as follows:
- Wait until the temperature is lower than 80° C;
check the warning lights on the electronic regu-
lator
- The hot water tap can be opened to speed up
the cooling process if the boiler-stoveis equip-
ped with hot sanitary water.
