9. LIGHTING

WARNING: After the rst ignition you can smell bad odours (owing to the drying of the glue used in the garnitures or of the paint) which

disappear after a brief using of the appliance. It must be ensured, in any case, a good ventilation of the environment. Upon the

rst ignition we suggest loading a reduced quantity of fuel and slightly increasing the caloric value of the equipment

To perform a correct rst lighting of the products treated with paints for high temperature, it is necessary to know the following information:

• the construction materials of the involved products are not homogeneous, in fact there are simultaneously parts in cast iron, steel,

refractory material and majolica;

• in detail, initially it is possible to remark the emission of smells typical of metals subject to great thermal stress, as well as of wet

paint. This paint, although during the manufacture it is backed at 250 °C for some hours, must exceed many times and for a given

period of time the temperature of 350 °C before becoming completely embedded in the metallic surfaces.

Therefore, it is extremely relevant to take these easy steps during the lighting:

1. Make sure that a strong air change is assured in the room where the appliance is installed.

2. During the rst starts, do not load excessively the combustion chamber (about half the quantity indicated in the instructions manual)

and keep the product continuously ON for at least 6-10 hours with the registers less open than the value indicated in the instructions

manual.

3. Repeat this operation for at least 4-5 or more times, according to your possibilities.

4. Then load more and more fuel (following in any case the provisions contained in the installation booklet concerning maximum load)

It is FORBIDDEN to use any liquid substance as for ex. alcohol, gasoline, oil and similar.

The openings for air (primary and secondary) must be opened together (you must open the eventual Ignition control, and buttery valve

placed on the pipe of smokes exhaust). When the wood starts burning, you may load other fuels and adjust the air for combustion

according to the instructions on paragraph TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION.

Please always be present during this phase.

Never overload the appliance (see the technical table - max quantity of fuel that can be loaded / hourly consumption). Too much fuel and

too much air for combustion can cause overheating and therefore damage the appliance. The warranty does not cover the damages

due to overheating of the equipment.

Never switch on the device when there are combustible gases in the room.

9.1. LOW EMISSION re lighting

Fire STARTER MODULE. This re starter module replaces a paper or cardboard starter.

Prepare four logs, 20 cm long with a cross section of 3 cm by 3 cm Picture 7 at page 41. Cross the four logs and place them on top of the

pile of wood at right angles, with the re lighter (wax impregnated wood bre for example) in the middle. The re can be lit with a match. If

you want, you can use thinner pieces of wood. In this case, you will need a larger quantity.

Keep the ue gas exhaust valve and combustion air regulator open.

After lighting the re, leave the combustion air regulator open in the position shown in according to the instructions on paragraph
