Lighting For The First Time; Type Of Fuel - Palazzetti ECOPALEX 64 Installation, User And Maintenance Manual

7 COMMISSIONING AND USING THE
APPLIANCE
The door should be opened gradually so the smoke can
be drawn up the ue and not in the room. When lighting
the replace, and until it reaches the right temperature,
it should burn for a few minutes with the door ajar so that
the condensation that forms on the glass can evaporate.
Once the re is burning well, close the door to optimise
yield and consequently, wood consumption.
7.1

LIGHTING FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Check that all moving parts are suitably placed and the
air control valve and smoke diaphragm work properly.
The rst lighting (after the installation or at the beginning
of the season) must be made with reduced loads (~ 1
kg/h) keeping the device on for at least 4 hours at low
rate. Proceed with these feed rates for at least three days
before using the appliance at its full capacity. This will
allow for the evaporation of any moisture accumulated
in the refractory elements when not used.
• Light the re using old and nely chopped wood so that
the ame develops as much as possible. Once the re
is going well you can use larger pieces of wood provided
they are dry.
The rst time you light the replace smoke and unpleasant
odours might form and escape due to the complete drying
of some of the materials used. This phenomenon will
gradually disappear.
FLUE DRAUGHT -
•
• Never use alcohol, petrol, kerosene or other liquid fuels
to light the re. Keep these substances away from the
re. Do not use petrol or chemical origin re-lighters
as they can seriously damage the walls of the rebox.
Only use ecological re lighting aids.
Do not touch the painted parts during the rst lightings to
avoid damaging the paint nish.
• During the rst lightings, we recommend that you keep the
premises well ventilated.

TYPE OF FUEL

The normative reference for fuel is UNI ISO 17225-1
"forest logs".
The wood insert is to be fed preferably with mature beech
or birch wood or with lignite briquettes 25 or 33 cm.
Humidity must not exceed 25%.
Each type of wood has different characteristics that also
in uence combustion yield.
Use of pine-wood (pine, r) is not recommended as it
contains high quantities of resin substances that quickly
clog the ue.
It is forbidden to burn: pieces of bark, wood treated with
varnish, pressed wood panels, coal, plastic materials; in
this case, the guarantee on the wood insert is no more
valid.
The declared nominal yield of the chimney is obtained
by burning the right quantity of wood, making sure not to

overload the combustion chamber.
The recommended amount of wood is indicated in the
technical data table.
It is absolutely prohibited to use any kind of coal, wood
treated with protective substances, cardboard or paper
(use only for lighting).
It is prohibited to use the wood insert as an
incinerator. Burning of waste is prohibited in
compliance with laws concerning the emission of
gases. Combusted gases deriving from combustion
and may be harmful to your health.
7.2 LIGHTING
• Clean the replace from any ash residues;
• completely open the primary air adjuster ( g.6.2 a/b);
• open the re door;
• carefully place the wood pieces inside the combustion
chamber;
• place a natural re starter on the stack;
• add some crossed ne wood sticks;
• light up the re starter from the top
• close the re door
• keep the air vent opened to ensure a high bright ame
• slightly close the air vent only when proper grill base
is ensured.
7.3 RELOADING THE FUEL
To load fuel inside the machine while it is running, follow
the procedure below:
• Open the re door slowly to prevent the creation of
an air gap inside the replace that would cause the
smoke to escape in the environment (based on the
draught of the fume exhaust duct).
• Reload the replace with fuel and then close the
re door.
Avoid overheating the stove by loading an excessive
amount of fuel.
Insert the fuel only when the grill bases are formed
The stove is provided with a bypass valve that favours
smoke transfer in the fume exhaust duct, minimizing the
smoke puffs in the environment
