d) If you do not get an active flame, the number of gases that accumulate in the
combustion chamber can concentrate and explode, so it is very important to ensure that
there is always an active flame.
e) When the fire is well established, place the regulator in the central position.
If you have not installed the piped air duct to draw in the outside air, the combustion
air will be drawn out of the room where the recuperator is located, thus consuming oxygen
from this room. If this is the case, it must be ensured that the openings or other devices
allowing outside air to enter are not obstructed.
The use of this equipment simultaneously with other appliances that require air supply
(e.g. gas equipment, braziers, among others), may require the existence of additional air
intakes, and the user must make sure that there are no obstacles to the necessary
ventilation for all appliances in operation, such as smoke extractors or kitchen.
The door should open only during refueling. The normal conditions of use of the
equipment mean that the door remains closed.
When refueling, we recommend that you use a load of 4.8kg for the ECOFOGO ECO,
MYTHO ECO, ACQUA ECO, ACQUA ECO PV and ZAIMA ECO models. Refill the recuperator
before the previous load is completely burned, to facilitate the continuation of combustion.
In the conditions of the previous point, the nominal power is an average value in the
context of a variation that can reach 30% of the nominal value. Lower variations can be
achieved with more frequent replenishments of smaller quantities of firewood.
When the atmospheric conditions are so adverse as to cause a severe disturbance in
the smoke draw of the recuperator (in particular very strong winds), it is advisable not to
use the recuperator.
