The fuels admitted are wood logs. One must use only logs of dry wood (water content max. 20 %). The

The wood used as fuel must have a moisture contents lower than 20 %, which is obtained after at least 1
year drying (tender wood) or 2 years (hard wood) and must be stored in a dry and ventilated place (for ex.
Under a shed). The wet wood makes ignition more difficult because it is necessary a greater quantity of
energy to evaporate the existing water. The humid contents has the disadvantage that, with the
temperature lowering, the water condensates first in the hearth and then in the chimney. The unseasoned
wood contains about 60 % of H20, then it is not suitable to be burnt. The following cannot be burnt:
rests of coal, cut-offs, parts of barks and panels, wet wood or treated with varnished, plastic
materials. In this case the guarantee on the appliance lapses. Paper and carton must be used only
for ignition.
The combustion of wastes is forbidden by national law on the protection against emissions. This
may damage the stove and the chimney, causing health damages and claims by the neighbourhood owing
to the bad smell.
The wood is not a fuel which allows a continuous operation of the appliance, as consequence the heating
all over the night is not possible.
ATTENTION: the continuous and protracted use of aromatic wood (eucalyptus, myrtle etc.) quickly
damages the cast iron parts (cleavage) of the product.

9. LIGHTING

IMPORTANT: The first time that the appliance is lit, there will be an odour given off (due to the drying of
the adhesives of the junction chord), which disappears after a short use. It must be ensured, in any
case, a good ventilation of the environment. Upon the first ignition we suggest loading a reduced
quantity of fuel and slightly increasing the calorific value of the equipment.
To perform a correct first lighting of the products treated with paints for high temperature, it is necessary to
know the following information:
•
the construction materials of the involved products are not homogeneous, as matter of fact there
are simultaneously parts in cast iron, steel, refractory material and majolica;
•
the temperature to which the body of the product is subject is not homogeneous: from area to area,
variable temperatures within the range of 300° C - 5 00 ° C are detected;
•
during its life, the product is subject to alternated lighting and extinguishing cycles in the same day,
as well as to cycles of intense use or of absolute standstill when season changes;
