Lighting A Fire; Adjusting Primary And Secondary Air Inlets - Carbel G 100 Manual De Montaje, Uso Y Mantenimiento

3.3. Lighting a fire

Important: lighting a fire must be done with thin dry wood.
1. Load a generous amount of firewood, placing a layer of wood chips or thin firewood and another layer of
thicker wood on top. You must leave the pieces crossed and with enough separation between them to allow
proper air flow.
2. Light the first layer of wood chips or thin wood using firelighters or special lighting products, if necessary.
3. Leave the door ajar, with an opening between 0,5cm to 3cm, so that enough air can enter for the fire to
light quickly.
4. Once the wood is well-lit, wait until the wood burner temperature is high before completely closing the
door (10 to 45 minutes, depending on factors like wood, air circulation, etc.) and adjust the air inlet. If you find
that the volume of flames decreases, or the fire tends to go out and the smoke inside the fireplace increases,
open the air intake more or repeat step 3. When you reload with more wood, if there are not enough embers to
light the new load of wood, repeat steps 3 and 4.
When the wood burner is in operation, you must not open the door. When putting more wood on the fire, open
the door slowly to prevent the smoke inside the fireplace from blowing out into the room.
Warning. – During the use of your stove or inset appliance, the high temperatures generated during
combustion and cooling down of the device afterwards will cause expansion and contraction of the steel plates.
This may cause some metallic sounds; these are completely normal and should not be considered a defect in the
product.
