Carefully read this manual before use or maintenance. Eva Stampaggi's intent is to provide as much information as possible to ensure safer use and prevent injury and damages to property or parts of the stove itself.
• Use only original spare parts recommended by the manufacturer. • The fuel is wood with a maximum length of 250mm for 8kW stoves and 330mm for 12.5kW stoves and with a maximum humidity of 8%; • Make sure that the stove is transported in compliance with safety regulations. Avoid any improper transfers or knocks that may damage the ceramics or the structure.

02. GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN THE STOVE IS WORKING: • do not open the door; • do not touch the door glass since it becomes extremely hot; • keep children away from it; • do not touch the fume outlet; •...
03. VENT PIPE The vent pipe is one of the key features for guaranteeing the proper functioning of the stove. Thanks to the quality of the materials, the strength, the durability, the easy cleaning and maintenance, the best vent pipes are made of steel, either stainless steel or aluminised.

03. VENT PIPE TYPES OF VENT PIPES: Examples of vent pipes: Steel vent pipe with double insulated chamber in material resistant to 400C. Excellent efficiency. Refractory vent pipe with double insulated chamber and external coating in lightweight concrete. Excellent efficiency. Traditional clay vent pipe with cavities.
04. CHIMNEY COWL A properly installed chimney cowl ensures optimum stove functioning. The anti-downdraught chimney cowl consists of a number of components whose outlet section sum always doubles the vent pipe section. Make sure the chimney cowl is at least 150cm above the roof top so that it is fully exposed to the wind. Roof pitch α...
05. DRAUGHT Fumes heat up during combustion, increasing their volume. Their density is therefore lower than the one of the surrounding colder air. This difference between the inside and outside temperatures of the chimney results in a negative pressure which increases proportionally to the vent pipe length and the temperature.
06. STOVE EFFICIENCY Highly efficient stoves may pose difficulties for fume extraction. In order for a vent pipe to work properly its internal temperature must increase as a consequence of the fumes generated during combustion. Now, a stove's efficiency is determined by its ability to transfer the majority of the heat it produces to the area to be heated: as a consequence the more efficient the stove, the colder the combustion exhaust fumes, resulting in a reduced draught.
07. FUEL For a good yield, the wood must be dry because it produces less fumes, less soot and less carbon monoxide. Dry wood will guide you in making a correct choice and will let you get the most out of your stove. Always remember to split the wood so that it loses humidity.
08. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 08.1 HERMETIC WOOD STOVE The hermetic wood stove is available in 8 and 12.5 kW. If properly connected via a suction pipe, making sure oxygen from the environment is not used, these stoves draw the combustion and glass cleaning air directly from the outside, not from the room where they are installed.

08. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Unpack the stove: be careful not to damage the product when unpacking. Check the feet on the stove and adjust them so the stove is stable. Position the stove so that the door and any hatches are not against the walls. After connecting the stove to the combustion air intake, connect the coupling to the vent pipe.
09. USING THE STOVE 09.1 IGNITION Stove ignition requires small wood logs (dry) and fire starter, possibly eco-friendly. Open the primary and secondary air registers using the levers and set the logs as shown in the photo. After setting the logs, place the fire starter below the wood and light it.
09. USING THE STOVE 09.2 COMBUSTION For best combustion, follow these parameters: 8 kW stoves 8.5 kW stoves 12.5 kW stoves Wood quantity (kg/h) Primary air register Closed ½ open Closed Secondary air register Almost open (80%) Open Reloading interval (min) Wood length (cm) Draught (Pa) Once the product is ignited and hot, combustion can be regulated using the secondary air register on the upper part of...

09. USING THE STOVE ATTENTION: • Do not exceed the amount of fuel indicated in the manual when loading the stove. • Do not suffocate the fire by closing the air intakes in the chamber. • Do not leave the primary register open (in 8 kW and 12 kW stoves) during normal operation, thus avoiding overheating and deformation of the appliance or other parts such as the glass.
11. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 11.1 FOREWORD The stove requires a simple yet constant cleaning to guarantee top efficiency and proper functioning. Constant maintenance by a qualified technician is recommended. The stove should be cleaned before the cold season because it can sometimes get clogged during the summer (by nests for example) preventing exhaust fumes to flow regularly.
12. TROUBLESHOOTING • The stove does not heat: damp or low quality wood, insufficient flue draught. • Stove heats too much: excessive flue draught, replacement of door or pan gaskets. • Lower grille blocked: inspect the grille and make sure there are no nails or wood trapped in it. •...
