La Nordica Focolare 80 Idro Crystal D.S.A [22/76] Beech 750 4 0

6. ALLOWED / NOT ALLOWED FUELS

Allowed fuels are logs. Use exclusively dry logs (max. content of water 20%). Maximum 3 logs should be loaded. The pieces of wood

should have a length of ca. 20-30 cm and a maximum circumference of 30-35 cm.

Compressed not worked-out wood briquettes must be used carefully to avoid overheating that may damage the device, since

these have a very high caloric value.

The wood used as fuel must have a humidity content lower than the 20% and must be stored in a dry place. Humid wood tends to burn

less easily, since it is necessary a greater quantity of energy to let the existing water evaporate. Moreover, humid content involves

the disadvantage that, when temperature decreases, the water condensates earlier in the hearth and therefore in the stack causing a

remarkable deposit of soot with following possible risk of re of the same.

The combustion of waste is FORBIDDEN and would even damage the appliance and the ue, causing health damages and claims by

the neighborhood owing to the bad smell. The wood is not a fuel which allows a continuous operation of the appliance, as consequence

the heating all over the night is not possible.

* RESINOUS WOOD NOT SUITABLE FOR THE BURNING

ATTENTION : the continuous and protracted use of aromatic wood (eucalyptus, myrtle etc.) quickly damages the cast iron parts

(cleavage) of the product.

The declared technical data have been achieved by burning beech wood class “A1” according to the requirement UNI EN ISO 17225-5

and wood moisture content less than 20%. By burning a different kind of wood the efciency of the product itself could change and some

specic adjustments on the appliance could be needed.

7. LIGHTING

ATTENTION: never light for any reason if the installation is not completely full of water in order to avoid a serious damage of

To light the re, it is suggested to use small wood pieces together with paper or other traded lighting means. It is FORBIDDEN to use

any liquid substance as for ex. alcohol, gasoline, oil and similar. Never switch on the device when there are combustible gases

in the room.

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

same.

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
