Fuels Allowed/Not Allowed; Startup (First Ignitions); Ignition And Normal Operation - BOREAL E4000 Serie Instrucciones De Instalación, Uso Y Mantenimiento

• It must be placed in so that it cannot be obstructed.
• It must be connected to the environment where the equipment is installed and it must be protected by a grate.
• The minimum area of the outlet should not be less than 100 cm2. Check regulations on this issue.
• When the air flow comes through openings that are connected to the exterior of adjacent environments, it is important to avoid air intakes in
connection with garages, kitchens, toilets, etc.

6. FUELS ALLOWED/NOT ALLOWED

The fuel allowed is wood. Use only dry firewood (max. moisture content 20%, which corresponds to firewood that was cut two years ago). The length of
the logs will depend on the model (you can check the technical features of this manual). Compressed wood briquettes must be used carefully in order to
avoid harmful overheating of the equipment because they have a high calorific power.
The wood used as fuel must be stored in a dry place. Damp firewood has approximately 60% of water. Therefore, it is not suitable to be burnt because
it makes the ignition more difficult due to the fact that the heats is used to vaporize the water. Moreover, the moisture content has also the disadvantage
that, when the temperature is lower, the water condense in the fireplace and the chimney. This causes the soot accumulation and condensation, with the
consequent risk of fire.
Among others, it is not allowed to use> coal, barks and panels, damp firewood or with paint or plastic materials. In these cases, the
warranty of the stove shall terminate. It is forbidden to use waste and it would damage the equipment.
Paper and cardboard should only be used during the ignition.
Below is an instructions table about the type of firewood and the quality for the combustion.

7. STARTUP (FIRST IGNITIONS)

In order to ignite the fire, we recommend using small wood strips with paper or other means such as fire starters. It is forbidden to use liquid substances
such as alcohol, gasoline, petroleum or similar products.
WARNING!! At the beginning, it is possible that you note smoke or smell which are typically produced when metals are subject to high
temperatures or when the paint is still fresh.
Never ignite the equipment when there are combustible gases in the environment.
In order to do a proper start-up of the products treated with paints used at high temperatures, it is important to consider the following conditions:
• The materials of the products are not homogenous due to the fact that there are cast-iron parts and steel parts.
• The temperature of the product-s body is not uniform: among different zones there are variable temperatures between 300°C and 500°C.
• During its lifetime, the product is subject to ignitions stoppages even in the same day, as well as intensive use or not use depending on the
season.
• The equipment, at the beginning, must be subject to different start-up cycles so that all materials and the paint can complete different elastic
expansions.
Therefore, it is important to adopt these measures during the ignition phase:
1. Assure that there is a good air refill in the place where the equipment is installed.
2. During the 4 o 5 first ignitions, do not load excessively the combustion chamber and keep the stove lit during at least 6-10 hours continuously.
3. Then, load it more, respecting the recommended load and try to leave the fireplace lit the maximum time as possible, trying to avoid short ignition
periods.
4. During the first ignitions, you should not place any object on the equipment and, in particular, on lacquered surfaces. Lacquered surfaces should
not be touched while the equipment is heated.
5. In the models E4000, E5000 and E6000 it is recommended, in order to avoid a high concentration of smoke in the part of the cooker, to keep
the lid open in the first (3-4) ignitions, until the paint completes the various elastic solicitations.

8. IGNITION AND NORMAL OPERATION

In order to do a good ignition of the stove, it is necessary to follow the next steps:
a. Open the door. Open completely the regulator of the primary air intake and the regulator of the secondary air intake (in adjustable models)
b. Insert a fire starter or a paper ball and some wood splinters into the chamber.
c. Light the paper or the splinter. Close the door slowly and leave it half-open 10 or 15 minutes while the glass is heated.
d. When there is flame enough, open the door slowly in order to avoid smoke returns and load the fireplace with dry wood logs. Close the door
slowly.
e. When the logs are lit, use the regulators located on the frontal part (primary and secondary air intake) in order to control the heat emission of the
stove. These regulators should be opened according to the heating needs. The best combustion (with minimum emissions) is reached when the
main part of the air for the combustion passes through the secondary air regulator.
