Installation, use and maintenance manual
---- - WOOD BURNING STOVES
1 1 PRODUCT SAFETY PRODUCT SAFETY
The stoves are built in compliance with the EU 305/2011 Construction Products Regulation, with the standard EN13240
(wood-burning stoves), the EN 14785 (pellet stoves and heating stoves), the EN 303-5:2012 (Pellet boilers) and with the EN
13229 (wood inserts) using high quality and non-polluting materials. To make better use of your stove it is advisable to follow
the instructions in this booklet. Read this manual carefully before use or any maintenance operation.
On a sample basis, some products are subjected to internal testing before shipment and, as such, these may contain
residues.
Eva Stampaggi aims to provide as much information as possible to ensure safer use and to avoid damage to persons,
property or parts of the stove itself.

FUEL TO BE USED FUEL TO BE USED
Dry wood produces more usable heat than wet wood as it produces less smoke, less soot and less carbon dioxide. Dry wood
is the correct choice to maximise use of your stove. Always remember to split the wood so that it loses moisture: the higher its
water content, the greater the quantity of heat needed to ignite. It is good practice to use wood cut two years beforehand and
kept away from moisture.
Based on the weight in Hg of a cubic metre of material, the wood can be classified as either "softwood" or "hardwood".
● "Softwood" (300--350 kg/m³ such as spruce, pine, poplar, alder, chestnut, willow) burns rapidly, producing a fiercer heat; it
is therefore ideal for starting a fire but to use it as fuel would require frequent refilling of the stove. "Softwood" can also
produce more creosote, meaning that the chimney will require more frequent cleaning.
● "Strong wood" (350-400 kg/m³ e.g. elm, oak, holm oak, beech, ash), instead, has a slower combustion thus producing a
more durable heat. Due to this characteristic, it is preferred in the field of domestic heating.
For heating purposes, wood can be divided into:
● Excellent quality: oak, ash, beech, maple.
● Discreet quality: chestnut, birch and alder.
● Acceptable quality: linden, poplar and willow
The calorific value depends therefore, on the density of the wood (that varies based on its type) and on its moisture content.
The heat output of the stoves is directly affected by this factors. Depending on its moisture content, it can be indicated in:
% of humidity
15%
20%
25%
30%
35%
40%
Wood that is too damp and not seasoned causes water vapour during combustion, which cracks the walls of the combustion
chamber and the flue, compromising its performance and safety.
On average, a well seasoned wood has a calorific value of 3200 kcal/kg. The technical data were obtained using beech wood
according to the UNI EN ISO 17225-5 standard.
