Advantages of using good quality wood:
-Better heating power
-Better control in fire regulation
-Helps to keep a clean glass
-Helps to keep the wood burner and flue cleaner and in better
conditions
-hotter and more shining fire.
Disadvantages of using wet and inconvenient wood:
-lower heating power
-dirtier glass
-water evaporation might oxide metallic parts in the stove
-dirtier combustion chamber and flue.
-duller fire
Overloading the appliance with firewood decreases performance, reduces energy efficiency and
accelerates the wear and tear of the appliance.
Do not exceed the maximum load of firewood given at the end of the manual.
Overloading the appliance voids all the manufacturer's warranties.
3.4 Lighting a fire
Important: lighting a fire must be done with thin dry wood.
1. Load a generous load of small or medium size open firewood, with a generous layer of wood chips or thin
firewood on top. You should leave the pieces crossed and with enough separation between them to allow
proper air flow.
2. Light the top layer of wood chips or thin wood, preferably the area closest to the door, and using special
products to set alight, 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.
3.5 Regulation of the primary and secondary air inlets.
You have purchased an insert fireplace model of maximum efficiency and output. Therefore, the control of
the primary air, situated below the door, and the secondary air, situated above the door, are fundamental
when trying to achieve maximum results and optimum combustion.
