OWNER'S MANUAL

How can I verify that the installation has been correctly executed?

We are aware of how important it is to you to feel confident that your stove has been properly
installed. Therefore, if you wish to verify the installation, we recommend you use the following
diagram to guide your inspection:
(Stainless Steel)
Funnel
Stainless steel
10" Double Flue
(Galvanized steel)
Covers the full length of the main flue
from the roof space to the cap. Mineral
wool is placed in the space
between the flue and the double flue.
Sheet or Scantling
(Galvanized Steel)
All flammable materials
must be at a distance of at least
15cm from the double flue.
Ceiling Plate
(Stainless or Galvanized Steel)
6" Main Flue
(Stainless Steel)
From the heater to the cap.
Rear Protection
(If you want to install
the stove close to a wood wall, you can place
a sheet of metal or another
non-flammable material on the wall leaving
a space for ventilation in the back).
Floor Protection
Required if the floor is covered in
wood, carpet or plastic.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

How does the double combustion system work?

Double combustion stoves have a secondary air inlet that preheats the air at a high temperature.
This hot air mixes with the combustion gases burning the volatile material and reducing particulate
material. This process is known as post combustion.

How do I choose appropriate firewood?

It is important that you understand that one of the elements that will allow you to obtain the
maximum performance from your stove is the purchase of good quality fuel. To maximize the
effectiveness of your stove follow the instructions detailed below on how to buy, store and
manipulate firewood:
- Prefer firewood of renewable species (especially Eucalyptus) as it is easy for the producer to
dry and originates from sustainable forestry.
- A highly relevant variable that determines the quality of the firewood is its humidity content.
This must be between 18 and 25%, to ensure an adequate duration and avoid energy loss as
a result of water evaporation as this reduces the power of the stove. Additionally, by using
firewood with low humidity content, you will avoid the production of creosote (a residue of
combustion that is deposited on the flues of your stove), resulting in lower maintenance costs.
- Remember to buy firewood that is no longer than 30 cm and approximately 15 cm in diameter.
This size firewood fits easily in your stove and the larger logs will not have to be cut to fit.
- Having good quality firewood of appropriate humidity content does not only depend on
buying it correctly. This is only the starting point. If the manipulation of the wood is not adequate,
