Fresh Air Supply
The woodstove can only be installed in rooms with a sufficient supply of fresh air intake for combustion purposes. This is
true of rooms that have at least one exterior door or one window that can be opened. Rooms that are connected to the same
fresh air network, i.e. rooms within the same residence or common areas, are also appropriate for installation.
The woodstove requires
approx. 40m³ fresh air per hour for combustion.
With newer, well-insulated houses, and particularly with houses using mechanical air circulation, it is important to supply a
sufficient amount of fresh air. Models LASCAR and STROMBOLI have no central air intake that directly supplies suffi-
cient air into the combustion process. Therefore, you have to ask your local dealer for a separate air intake.
Important!
Read the User's Guide before you use your woodstove / fireplace for the first time, and do not forget to have your
installation inspected by the local authorities before its first fire. Consult your local authorities for any regulations
and other information.
The location that is used to support the base of the woodstove must be horizontal and without any uneven spots.

Operating Your Woodstove

Regulating the Heat
A control to regulate the secondary air is located above the door in the mid-
dle. Open the faceplate under the fireplace door. Reach into the recess and
pull.
1) Secondary Draft Control
The secondary draft control lever regulates the amount of air that is needed to reburn exhaust gases that are produced in
the fireplace during the wood burning process. A portion of this secondary air circulates from the top to the door and helps
to keep the glass window clean.
The fire intensity can be regulated with the secondary draft control lever.
Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal - When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic va-
pors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool
chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this
creosote makes an extremely hot fire. Burning wood, the chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at
least once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred.
