2.4.1 ALLOWED FUELS SPECIFICATIONS

ALLOWED FUELS ARE LOGS. USE EXCLUSIVELY DRY LOGS (MAX. CONTENT OF WATER 20%).
THE PIECES OF WOOD SHOULD HAVE A LENGTH OF CA. 20-30 CM AND A MAXIMUM CIRCUMFERENCE OF 30-35 CM.
NOT WORKED-OUT WOOD BRIQUETTES MUST BE USED CAREFULLY TO AVOID OVERHEATING THAT MAY DAMAGE THE
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO BURN: COAL, CUTTINGS, WASTE OF BARK AND PANELS, HUMID WOOD OR WOOD TREATED WITH
PAINTS, PLASTIC MATERIALS; IN THIS CASE, THE WARRANTY ON THE DEVICE BECOMES VOID.
THE COMBUSTION OF WASTE IS FORBIDDEN AND WOULD EVEN DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE AND THE FLUE, CAUSING
HEALTH DAMAGES AND CLAIMS BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD OWING TO THE BAD SMELL.
WHEN USING THE WRONG FUEL OR ONE WHICH IS TOO DAMP, DUE TO DEPOSITS PRESENT IN THE FLUE, A SOOT FIRE IS

NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO
KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.
WOOD STANDARDS
The declared technical data have been achieved by burning beech wood class "A1" according to the requirement UNI EN ISO 17225-5
and wood moisture content less than 20%. By burning a different kind of wood the efficiency of the product itself could change and
some specific adjustments on the appliance could be needed.
The wood used as fuel must have a humidity content lower than the 20% and must be stored in a dry place.
Humid wood tends to burn less easily, since it is necessary a greater quantity of energy to dry the wood out. Moreover, humid content
has the disadvantage that, when temperature decreases, the water condensates earlier in the hearth and therefore in the chimney
causing a remarkable deposit of soot that could catch fire.
Fresh wood contains about 60% of H2O, therefore it is not suitable to be burnt.
It is necessary to place this wood in a dry and ventilated place (for example under a roofing) for at least two years before using it.
