USE OF THE OVEN (If present)
Place the smoke controller in the position USE OF THE OVEN (see chap. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION)
Thanks to the air flow for the combustion, the temperature of the oven may become remarkably affected. A sufficient flue of the
chimney and of the channels, well cleaned for the flow of burning smokes around the oven are fundamental for a good cooking result.
The oven pan may be located on different plans. Thick cakes and big roasts must be introduced in the lowest level. Flat cakes and
biscuits must reach the medium level. The upper level may be used to heat or grill.
The oven pan and the chrome plated oven grille may be located on different plans (see chapter Technical Description - ACCESSORIES).
When cooking food with high humidity, cakes with fruit or fruit itself, water of condensation will be produced. During the cooking
process some water vapour in the form of drops of condensed water can deposit onto the top and the side of the door. It is a physical
phenomenon.
By opening the door briefly and carefully (1 or 2 times, or even often in case of longer cooking times) you can let out the steam from
the cooking compartment and reduce condensation significantly.
The appliance is equipped with a cast iron furnace grill which can be removed using a specific handle. The upper position optimises
the use of the hotplate while the lower one optimises water and oven heating
ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY FAILURE
In the event of an unexpected electrical power supply failure during normal system operation, it will be necessary to carry out these
simple manoeuvres to prevent the water in the boiler starting to boil as a consequence of the lack of pump operation.
1. Raise the moveable furnace grill (if present ) to the highest level in order to reduce the exchange surface exposed to the heat of
the flame.
2. Close the primary and secondary air registers in addition to turning the thermostat to 0 ( if present).
3. Open the oven door (if present) in order to favour the elimination of the internal heat.
4. Open the flue gas register ; in this way, it will deviate the residual heat still produced towards the chimney.
OPERATION IN TRANSITION PERIODS
During transition periods when the external temperatures are higher, if there is a sudden increase of temperature it can happen that
the combustion gases inside the flue cannot be completely sucked up.
The exhaust gases do not come out completely (intense smell of gas). In this case, shake the grating more frequently and increase
the air for the combustion. Then, load a reduced quantity of fuel in order to permit a rapid burning (growing up of the flames) and the
stabilization of the draught. Then, check that all openings for the cleaning and the connections to the stack are air-tigh.
In case of doubt, do not operate the product.
ATTENTION: never light for any reason if the installation is not completely full of water in order to avoid a serious
damage of the whole structure. The installation must always be full of water even when the thermo-fireplace is not
used. A possible no use during winter season must be faced by adding antifreeze substances.
SUMMER USE
The system must be completely filled with water. The absence of water in the system would lead to serious
damage of the entire structure.
ATTENTION: For no reason must the fire be ignited before the system has been completely filled with water; doing this would lead
to serious damage of the entire structure.In order to prevent water boiling, the circulation pump must be always in function in order
to drain on the radiators, or on the puffer, or on any other thermal absorption structure the heat given from the boiler to the water.
If the pump does not circulate or for any reason the water temperature exceeds 95°C, acts the DSA valve discharging heat in the
throughway water. It is recommended to supervise the water temperature in the appliance during summer use to avoid recurrent
interventions of the DSA valve which may jeopardize its good operation.
To use the wood burning appliance exclusively for cooking foods for example during the summer period it is necessary to lift the
movable grill (If present) to the maximum height to bypass as much as possible the surfaces of exchange able to yield heat to the
water; the smoke register shall be kept open (If present) to encourage the exit of hot smoke having heated the cast iron plate
(cooking function – HOTPLATE USE).
