IV.- LIGHTING AND REGULATING POWER
A.-Lighting up for the first time
Once installed in its final position, check that all joints have been sealed to prevent outside air from
entering, which would affect the draw.
Before lining the fireplace with bricks or any other incombustible material, check that it works correctly.
We recommend a slow fire for 3 to 4 hours when lighting-up for the first time. This will help stabilise the
different components and avoid any possible breakages.
It is advisable, when lighting the fireplace for the first time, to open windows to let any fumes or odours
that may be caused by the combustion of the protective paint solvents or any other material to escape.
B.- Primary air. Regulation
The provision of air for the combustion
process is performed by means of the
primary air valve. (See fig. 11)
To favour lighting-up the fireplace and to
avoid
the
formation
recommend opening the primary air
valve completely to allow the inflow of
abundant air for the combustion process.
This situation must be maintained at the
beginning of each lighting-up process in
order to heat the fireplace and chimney,
which will avoid the formation of
condensation and creosote.
It is essential to provide an abundant
load of fuel when lighting. The following
loads
will
depend
requirement desired.
Once the fireplace is hot, you may
regulate the provision of air for the
combustion process.
COMMENT:
Due to its air-tightness and heat
circulation of the Built-in Fireplace EQH
during normal situations, we recommend
opening the door of the fireplace slowly
when you have to add more fuel.
C.- Secondary air.
The purpose of secondary air for the combustion process is to provide additional air to burn any un-burnt
matter after the primary combustion process due to a lack of oxygen.
This extends the combustion process and improve the performance of the device.
The provision of secondary air is through is through the manifold from bottom to the back of the fireplace.in
the BUILT-IN FIREPLACE EQH (See Fig.12).
