FLAMEBOX SQUARE 7 NEO Manual De Instrucciones página 37

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 5 - Warranty).
We recommend the use of hard wood (beech, ash,
cork oak, oak, holm oak), and for lighting you may
use soft wood to
recommended size of firewood is that shown in
Chapter 2, in the "Technical Characteristics", and
the maximum authorized size is 40 cm, 45cm and
50cm, for SQUARE / VISION 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 violates 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
facilitate ignition.
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
The 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 minutes. When the wood is
well lit, you can then close the door completely,
using the closing lever.
During the rest of the fire time, the stove door must
remain closed, except for refueling the appliance.
The air baffle should be gradually closed, from the
initial opening at 100 % to about 30 % of the travel
(push towards the device).

The appliance in operation reaches high
temperatures, so special care must be taken
when handling and using it to avoid burns.
3.3. FIREWOOD REFUEL
Before refilling the appliance, make sure that
there is no extraction device (kitchen or
bathroom steam extractor) in operation that could
cause smoke to escape when the door is opened.
When there is only a bed of embers on the botom
the appliance is on fire, it is possible to refill it with
firewood. To do this, you must open the door
carefully, so as not to burn yourself and also not to
create a draft that causes smoke to escape. Then,
and if necessary, using the glove provided, place
(without throwing) the wood inside the appliance
and finally close the door.
