First Use
Controlo do ar de combustão:
Open – slide to the right
Closed – slide to the left
Maximum air control - Consumption of high firewood should only be used for the ignition phase. Long periods of use
in this system may damage the appliance and will lead eventually to loss of warranty
Medium air control - low fuel consumption and low emissions, maximum efficiency, advised.
Minimum air control - almost no flame, possibility of dirty glass
Lighting
1.
It is extremely important to thoroughly examine the chimney and to make sure it is clean and unobstructed
in order to use the appliance for the first time, or after a long stop. If it is not easy to do so, ask for a
technician.
The appliance was designed to work intermittently, with fuel load intervals ranging from 45 to 60 minutes.
2.
Completely open combustion air control. Put an easily flammable combustible material (firelighters, pine
cones, etc...) on the base of the furnace.
3.
On top of what was mentioned before, stack small chips of thin, dry wood, horizontally
4.
Keep the door slightly open, allowing the amount of air needed for a quick and efficient ignition, keeping
the combustion air control fully open.
5.
After 2 - 5 minutes close the door and reduce the combustion air control to reduce the combustion air
intake. Let it burn to create the first embers
Notes:
•
Only reload with wood when the previous load has been fully consumed, do not overload the combustion chamber
•
On the first use, curing of the paint occurs, odor emanation may occur. Avoid inhalation and ventilate the
surroundings well.
•
The first firing is very important because it favors the longevity of the painting of the appliance, so the ignition should
be smooth and never abrupt; it should not exceed 200 ºC in the first two loads so the hardening of the paint can take
place without cracks.
•
Violent burnings can damage the paintwork and, consequently, lead to the loss of warranty.
•
During normal use, clicks are sometimes perceptible. This phenomenon results from the expansion of the materials.
•
If the chimney draws more than 15 Pa, at least, a manual fire damper must be installed in the piping in an accessible
and visible location.
•
The combustion control must not be closed completely during operation. It should only be fully closed when the wood
is fully consumed and to end the equipment use session (only applicable to Vista series appliances).
