Troubleshooting - Ferlux C17 A.EXT Use And Maintenance

III.- REGULATION OF THE FIRE
The fire is controlled by a primary air regulator which is situated in the centre of the front panel (see diagram). This regulator controls the maximum and minimum
flow of air to the fire. Inserts in cast iron are also provided with a secondary air regulator.
In order to control the fire and avoid the escape of smoke, it is essential to keep the combustion chamber closed. Only open the chamber to add more wood.
Remember that the fire and its exterior will be very hot during the combustion process. Do not touch any surfaces close to it.
IV.- MAINTAINING THE FIRE
§ Clean the exterior surface with a damp cloth. Do not use cleaning products that may damage the paintwork and / or produce unpleasant fumes.
§ The combustion chamber door must be kept shut except when lighting the fire or adding wood to the fire.
§ The ashtray must also be kept shut except when removing ashes.
§ Do not use the fire in a total isolated room- it is important to allow a constant flow of fresh air.
§ Do not attempt any unauthorised modification to the fireplace.
§ Only use spare parts approved by the manufacturer.
§ Periodically clean the appliance, the flue connector and the chimney pipe, and check there is no obstruction on them after a large period without using.
V.- SAFETY ADVICE
− Never use the fire when there are inflammable gases in the room.
− In order to let the fire working efficiently and safely, the room needs to have a sufficient flow of air. When the building has been built-up in a way that doesn't
provide the necessary flow of air to fulfil the essential requirements, we recommend an exterior air vent through permanent slits of at least 200 cm².
− The combustion air inlets must not be modified under any circumstance.
− The grill air vents of the fireplace must be kept clear of any obstruction at all times.
− To avoid the risk of accidental fires, we advice to take protection measures as keeping flammable objects well away from the appliance and thermal insulation.
The minimum distance from inflammable materials must be at least 1,5 m to the front of the fireplace. Keep the same security distance with damp clothes put
close to the fire to dry.
− The fireplace and surround must not be installed in a place where there is heavy movement.
− To avoid accidents, tell the children that the fireplace gets very hot when is being used and advise them not to touch it.
− Do not put the residual ashes on top of materials that could burn such as paper cardboard or wood. The ashes can remain hot for a very long time.
− The first time the fire is used it is important not to touch it until it is cold to allow the paint to seal. It is normal when the fire is first used for smells and smokes to
be given off until the paint/joints are well-sealed. We therefore recommend that windows are left slightly open during this time.
− It is dangerous to overheat the appliance.
− Blazing fires of twigs, kindling, vine shoots, straw, cardboard etc. are definitely not advisable.
− Do not burn refuse, plastics, etc.
− Do not build the fire high.
− The combustion chamber must not be removed or taken apart.
− Never use the appliance without the ashtray cleaned up, in order to avoid the deformation of the cast iron grill/base, which will cancel the guarantee.
− To protect the appliance of water accumulation, avoid humidity in the outlet pipe as well as the entry of water into the fireplace.
− The climatological conditions of the place can affect to the good working of the equipment and security of the users, particularly when there is a potential risk of
frosts.
IN CASE OF A FIRE IN THE FIREPLACE OF
CHIMNEY, TAKE THE FOLLOWING MEASURES:
INMEDIATELY CLOSE ALL THE AIR VENTS:
A) Front door
B) Ashtray
C) Primary air vents
FOLLOWING INFORM THE FIREFIGHTING
LOCAL AUTHORITIES ABOUT THE EVENT
VII.- VENTILATOR SYSTEM
The system of the Ventilators is done in order to make an air flow through the chamber from ambient to hot air, expelled into the front air vents.
Regarding the regulation, you can use the interrupter placed in the front of the insert (behind the door) working with three positions:
Position O - The fans start working when the temperature has reached a certain degree, controlled by the thermostat.
Position I - Constant working in slow speed.
Position II - Constant working in fast speed.
The regulation of flow of air in models 760, F-900 & F-1000, is made manually with a potentiometer, provided with the appliance. It must be installed according to
the diagram enclosed. To regulate the flow of air you have to turn the potentiometer. When reached the minimum point you will hear a click, by means the ventilators
will stop and will start again automatically when a certain temperature is reached in the chamber, controlled by the thermostat.
Ventilators are provided with each FERLUX inserts, and have the following features: 220 / 230 V; 50 / 19 W (24 W with potentiometer) - Protection Degree IP54
IMPORTANT: The ventilators must be always connected to the power supply.
