Page 15: Working Principle Of The Stove
3. WORKING PRINCIPLE OF THE STOVE 3.1 Description of the stove The stove is designed to be used for indoor heating. The heat is diffused by radiation through the panoramic glass and the parts of the stove made of cast iron. Parts of the stove are made of cast iron, and the hearth is equipped with a panoramic door with heat resistant glass. - Page 16 4 THE FLUE Special attention must be paid to the quality of the flue which must be made in accordance with the standards. The flue must be regularly maintained. The stove is connected to the flue through a connection on the upper or back side of the stove, by the appropriate smoke pipes. The smoke pipe must not be positioned too deep in the flue so as not to decrease the surface of the cross-section and, in that manner, disturb the draft in the flue.
- Page 17 4.2 Chimney recommendations The internal part of the whole flue should have a smooth surface, and the material used should be resistant to heat and impermeable to gases. Minimum height, from the pipe s stove collar connector, to the top of chimney is 5m (16 feet). ’...
- Page 18 5. WOOD Only burn dry wood! You must not only select quality wood but it must also be dry at the moment in which you use it. Remember that the calorific power of the wood drops considerably as the presence of humidity means that a large part of the heat produced is used to evaporate the water and, furthermore, the risks of obstruction increase rapidly with the condensation of the vapors in the flue.

Page 20: Solutions Of The Problems
8. SUMMER PAUSE AND RECCOMENDATIONS FOR THE SEASON After you have cleaned the hearth, the chimney and flue, trying to eliminate completely the ash and other residuals, you must close the hearth door and its regulators; in case that you are disconnecting the device from the flue, you must close its openings in order to enable operation of other devices connected to the same flue. -
Page 21: Technical Description
10. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 10.1 Description The stove is suitable to heat living spaces or to support an insufficient centralized heating system. As fuel, it is possible to use wood logs. The stove is made of cast iron and steel plates. The hearth is internally sheathed with single sheet in cast iron and inside it there is a rotatable and extractable grate. -
Page 22: Installation
10.3 SECONDARY air control Over the door of the hearth there is the secondary air control, which, moved in horizontal direction, regulates secondary air. When the valve is open (the handle moved to the right) it enables a better wood combustion. Through this regulator, it is possible to adjust the desired combustion course of the stove. -
Page 23: First-Aid Measures
The platform must stick out 20 cm(8”) sideways and 46 cm(18”) on the front side over the loading door. d) No flammable components must be present above the product. The chimney stove must operate exclusively with the ash drawer inserted. The solid residue of the combustion (ashes) must be collected in a hermetic container, resistant to fire. -
Page 24: Allowed/Forbidden Fuel
14. ALLOWED/FORBIDDEN FUEL The allowed fuel is made of wood logs and dark coal. One must use only logs of dry wood (water content max. 20 %).One must load at maximum 2 or 3 logs of wood simultaneously. The wood pieces should have a length of 30-40 cm(11.8”-15.75”) and a maximum circumference of 30-35 cm(11.8”-13.8”). - Page 25 15. LIGHTING IMPORTANT: The first time that the appliance is lit, there will be an odor given off which disappears after a short use. It must be ensured that, in any case, a good ventilation of the environment exists. Upon the first ignition we suggest loading a reduced quantity of fuel and gradually increasing the calorific value of the equipment.
- Page 26 16. REGULAR EXPLOITATION IMPORTANT: due to the fact the door of the hearth has a remarkable size, we suggest you to open the door very slowly, to avoid the exit of smokes and flames. For safety reasons the door of the hearth can be opened during the stove operation only for the loading of the fuel.

Page 27: Operation In Transition Periods
17. OPERATION IN TRANSITION PERIODS During transition periods when the external temperatures are higher, or if there is a sudden increase of temperature it can happen that the combustion gases inside the flue cannot be completely sucked out. The exhaust gases do not come out completely (intense smell of gas). In this case, shake the grating more frequently and increase the air for the combustion. -
Page 28: Cleaning Of The Glass
18.2 CLEANING OF THE GLASS Thanks to a specific entry of the secondary air, the building of deposit on the glass of the door is slowed down in a remarkable way. However, the building of the deposits cannot be avoided with the use of solid fuels such as wet wood, and this is not to be considered a defect of the appliance. -
Page 29: Summer Pause
18.4 SUMMER PAUSE After you have cleaned the hearth, the chimney and the flue, try to eliminate completely the ash and others residuals. The flue cleaning should be performed at least once per year; in the meantime check the state of the gasket. If they are not of high quality, they do not guarantee good stove operation and in that case the gaskets should be replaced. - Page 31 P.016 P.082 P.015 P.081 P.014 VS-002 P.068 P.034 P.067 P.033 P.066 P.029 P.065 P.028 P.064 P.027 P.063 P.080 P.062 P.079 P.061 P.083 P.060 P.078 P.059 P.077 P.058 P.076 P.057 P.075 P.056 P.074 P.055 P.073 P.054 P.025 P.053 P.072 P.052 P.071 P.051 P.071 P.050...
