Lighting A Fire - Instructions - FLAMEBOX CUBEBOX NEO Manual De Instrucciones

Green or damp wood produces a much higher
amount of residue in the chimney and releases
water vapor that promotes corrosion of the
metal components of the stove. Damage
caused by using green and/or damp wood is
not covered by the warranty (see Chapter 4 -
Warranty).
We recommend the use of hard wood (beech,
ash, cork oak, oak, holm oak), and for lighting
you may use soft wood to facilitate ignition. The
recommended size of firewood is that shown in
Chapter 2, in the "Technical Characteristics",
and the maximum authorized size is 40cm,
45cm and 50cm, for CUBEBOX 7 NEO, 8 NEO
and 10 NEO, respectively. The maximum
diameter allowed for firewood is 15cm.
You should not use treated, varnished, or
painted wood, or wood agglomerates, even in
small quantities, since the result of burning
these is very polluting and produces residues.
The use of resinous wood (pine) is also not
recommended, but if there is no alternative, we
advise you to mix it with hard wood.
The use or adaptation of the equipment to burn
other fuels (eg liquid firelighter, oil, pellets,
plastics or charcoal) other than firewood is not
authorized and against the warranty conditions.
In case of chimney fire, remove the embers
from the equipment, close the air baffle and
call the fire department.
3.2. LIGHTING A FIRE -
INSTRUCTIONS
Before starting the first fire, make sure
that there are no foreign objects inside
the stove or in the ash drawer, namely the
instruction manual, warranty, glove and other
accessories supplied with the equipment. You

should also make sure that the stickers stuck to
the glass (energy efficiency for example) have
been properly removed.
The first fire should be carried out at a
time when the house can be aired.
Especially on the first lighting, and after a few
minutes of fire, you will notice the existence of
a fog and an odor characteristic of the chemical
stabilization of the paint by the action of heat.
This is a normal process of final drying and
hardening your equipment's high temperature
paint. The room where the equipment is
installed must be well ventilated.
To start the fire, open the air inlet baffle to the
full open position (pull towards the user). With
the appliance door open, alternately place a
few pieces of (thin) wood on the bottom of the
appliance. You must ensure that you only use
dry wood and that when placing it you have left
enough space for good oxygenation. Place a
firelighter and some wood chips on top of the
firewood. It should be noted that at lighting the
maximum load must not exceed 2 kg of
firewood. With the help of a long match or
lighter, light the lighter. You can, if the weather
conditions are quite adverse (very cold, fog,
snow, strong winds, or rain), use a sheet of
newspaper crumpled in the shape of a ball,
close to the firelighter, to quickly generate a
mass of hot air that creates upward airflow in
the duct. Then lean the door and do not close it
completely (for a few minutes). This distance
should be just enough for a small air intake that,
on the one hand, prevents condensation from
forming on the glass and, on the other hand,
does not allow smoke to escape. Depending on
the wood being used and the characteristics of
the chimney, as well as the weather conditions,
this initial lighting phase may take 3 to 15
