• Only use dry wood, seasoned for at least 1 year, with a moisture content below 20%
(M20)
Ignition load
• Position the ignition load. The mass of the charge must be 1 kg and the logs must be
positioned as shown in fig. A.
• Insert small, well-seasoned interwoven strips of wood and place the firelighters on top of
them (ignition module from above, fig. A)
• Light and if necessary keep the door open for a few minutes
until the combustion chamber and flue start to heat up. Close
the door.
• Open the regulator (1), the combustion air regulator (2) and the
ignition valve (3) (fig. B).
• As the fire lights, gradually add small pieces of wood: 2 logs
weighing about 2 kg in total (fig. C).

chamber.
• Open the ignition valve (3) and slowly open the hearth door.

embers.(fig. D).
• Insert a log of wood weighing 2.2 kg in total at the centre of the
bed of embers and close the door (fig. E).
• Close the ignition valve (3), close the regulator (1) and adjust
the combustion air regulator (2) (fig. F).

Switching off the appliance
• When the fire is no longer alight and the bed of embers does not
radiate heat any more, close all the regulators (1) (2) (3) to
keep the heat inside the combustion chamber as long as
possible.
ATTENTION
Operating the stove in ways other than those indicated
in this guide will cause a non-optimal operation of the
appliance. Therefore the expected emission and yield
performance cannot be achieved.
