3. OPERATION
3. 1 Fans
The stove is fitted with convection blowers that blow hot air into the room through the air vents located above the
fire door when the stove is in operation.
The blowers (fans) are in the lower front part of the fireplace behind the grids.
The switch controlling the fans has three positions (I - O - II).
In position (O) the fans are in automatic mode and will turn on automatically when the temperature rises + 50ºC
within the lower casing of the stove and will turn off automatically when the temperature falls.
In position (I) the fans are manually connected to the low-speed setting, providing a progressive heating of the room
quietly.
In position (II) the fans are manually connected at high-speed setting, this provides a faster environment heating.
Note. To avoid overheating of the unit, it is obligatory not to unplug the unit at any time.
3. 2 Combustion
For good combustion that is clean and environment-friendly (CO-free), when the wood is well lit and it has reached a
high temperature, you must close the primary air inlet and keep the secondary air inlet open. This will let the air for
combustion (preheated) enter through the top of the fireplace next to the glass and through the back wall below the
deflector to ensure better gas combustion. You will notice this in an increase in flames and temperature.
Wood burners and inserts are intermittent combustion appliances. This means that they should be lit, loaded with an
approximate weight of fuel as recommended by the manufacturer for each model, followed by a full combustion cycle
and fuel reloads after each combustion cycle.
Good combustion is necessary for optimum performance and a better view of the flames through the glass.
Guidelines:
- Maintain a high and constant temperature in the fireplace. Accordingly, the fireplace door must be closed at all times
and opened only to load firewood, which must be done as quickly as possible. Keeping the door open will cause the
stove to cool down, it will worsen the combustion and make lighting of the new wood more difficult.
- Once the unit has completed a first combustion cycle and the flames are out, open the door spread the embers and
load the wood logs.
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 must not be considered a defect in the product.
A full combustion cycle comprises the following:
1. A short period after reloading when the wood begins to heat up without flames. The time until the flame lights is
an indication of the fireplace temperature. If you wait too long to reload firewood, the temperature falls too low and
the new load of firewood does not light well. This has a negative effect on combustion and dirties the glass.
2. The temperature of the firewood increases rapidly, and it begins to break up, emitting gas that ignites if the fireplace
temperature is appropriate. The fireplace temperature begins to increase as the fuel emits more gas and the flames
increase.
