CONNECTION OF THE APPLIANCE TO THE CHIMNEY FLUE AND EVACUATION OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS (see legislation UNI
10683)
· The connection between the appliance being used and the chimney flue must receive exhaust fumes from one heat source only.
· An appliance can consist of a fireplace and cooking oven with a single exhaust point to the chimney for which the manufacturer must
provide the construction characteristics of the connections to the smoke ducts.
· It is forbidden to convey exhaust from hoods above cooking appliances in the same smoke duct.
· The discharge towards closed spaces is forbidden, even if they have an open ceiling.
· The direct discharge of exhaust products must be envisaged on the roof and the chimney flue must have the previously mentioned
features.
CHIMNEY COWL
· The chimney cowl must have the following features:
- It must have an internal section equal to that of the chimney flue;
- The useful outlet section must not be less than twice that of the chimney flue;
- It must be built so that it prevents the entry into the chimney of rain, snow and foreign bodies and in such a way that even in the case
of winds blowing from all sides or angles the discharge of the combustion products is ensured;
- It must be positioned so that it guarantees an adequate dispersion and dilution of the combustion products and in any case, outside
the backflow zone where the formation of counter pressure can occur. This zone has different size and formation depending on the
inclination angle of the roof and therefore it is essential that the minimum heights indicated in the designs (fig. 2) are respected.
MAKING THE CONNECTION TO THE CHIMNEY FLUE
· Connect the appliance to the chimney flue of the existing chimney, making sure that the smoke outlet pipe does not take up the free
space of the chimney flue (fig. 3)
· Only use pipes suitable for the dispersal of combustion fumes
Limit the horizontal sections of the duct joints to the chimney flue (max.1 metre) and the use of curves.

TAKING COMBUSTION AIR FROM THE INSTALLATION ROOM
· The appliance must be able to obtain the air necessary to guarantee regular operation through an external air vent.
· The air vents must respect the following requirements:
a) Minimum total free section of 200 cm²;
b) Direct connection with the installation room
c) Must be protected with a grill, a metallic net or a similar protection guard so long as it does not reduce the minimum section
mentioned in point a) and is so positioned that they cannot be obstructed.
· The airflow can also be obtained from an adjacent room to that of the installation as long as this flow happens freely through
permanent outlets communicating with the outdoors. No negative pressure must be caused in the room next to that of the installation
as a result of the air sucked out together with similar activity from another appliance or aspiration device.
· The permanent openings in the adjacent room must comply with the requirements in points a) and c).
· The adjacent room must not be used as a garage, warehouse for combustible material or for any type of activity with risk of fire.
N.B: When air extraction fans are used in the same room or in areas close to the appliance, this could affect the
functioning.
N.B: The room where the appliance is installed must not be put in negative air pressure due to (for example): suction
hoods, chimneys, flues etc. present in the same room or adjacent connecting rooms.

STARTING UP
· The appliance must only be started up after the mounting and the connection of the smoke evacuation ducts has been completed. On
a new stove, the paintwork finish needs to be completely dried out, therefore we recommend that you carefully follow the instructions
below when first using the stove:
- When first using, the appliance could emit odours which might be unpleasant; we recommend that you ventilate the room to eliminate
these odours;
- The paint on the stove is only completely hardened after it has been used several times.
LOADING THE FUEL
· The appliance functions intermittently and therefore it needs to be fuelled up manually while it is operating;
· Perform the refuelling when the flame is low to avoid any unpleasant spillage of burnt product from the firebox door.
· To open the firebox door, use the tool supplied with the appliance.
LIGHTING AND USE
N.B. To light the stove, never use: alcohol, petrol or other inflammable liquids.
· When lighting up on a very cold day or with low pressure it is advisable to heat the flue by burning some newspaper in the stove.
· When adding fuel with the stove burning, always keep to the quantities indicated in the "Technical data" table.

LIGHTING UP
· Put a firelighter cube or a small ball of newspaper on the brazier, then on top of this, place 0.5 kg of twigs or small split logs and 3 small
logs of wood. Using the accessories supplied, open completely the primary air inlet (fig. 5 ref. D) and the secondary air inlet (fig. 5 ref.
E) and the smoke valve (fig. 5 ref. A), then light the paper or firelighter with a match and close the firebox door.
· When the fire has caught and starts to grow add some slightly larger logs and gradually repeat this operation until reaching the hourly
load indicated in the "technical data" table; when the normal functioning is reached, set the adjustments of the primary and secondary
air inlets as indicated in the ADJUSTMENTS chapter.
· Remember that the loading must be done with a moderate flame to avoid any spillage of burnt product into the room.
· During prolonged operation, it is advisable to activate the grate-shaker to shake the ash from the brazier down into the ash collection
box.
LOADING AND RE-LIGHTING WITH EMBERS (Without a moderate fire)
When loading fuel without a moderate fire, but only some embers, proceed as described below:
· Use the poker to move the embers to the centre of the firebox
· Completely open the primary air inlet.
· Wait for a few minutes until in the firebox there is sufficient fire to restart
· Load some pieces of wood and wait until they are completely alight.
· Return the primary air control to the normal use position as indicated in the ADJUSTMENTS chapter
SHAKING THE FIREBOX GRATE
· By acting on the grate-shaking pole (fig. 5 ref. B) the residual ashes from the combustion will fall into the ashes box (fig. 5 ref. C) so that
the firebox is always "ready" for new loads of wood and that the primary air is introduced correctly into the firebox.
ASH BOX
· When the stove is cold and using the special glove, empty the ash from the ash box.
· The ash box is located under the firebox and can be accessed by opening the front door.
· The ash box must be emptied when the stove is cold. Take care a there could be hot ashes or embers present
· Always return the ash box into its space: using the stove without the box in place could be dangerous.
· If it is necessary to empty the ash box when the stove is still hot, although never with a flame present, always use the special glove.
ADJUSTMENTS
· To obtain a good compromise between thermal efficiency and fuel consumption the following positions are recommended: During normal
use, the fire intensity adjustment must be made using the primary air control and the secondary air control.
· The adjustment positions shown below refer to the appliance when it is already functioning normally and are purely indicative.
· The adjustments for an optimum efficiency of our appliance are:
- PRIMARY AIR INLET: closed
- UPPER SECONDARY AIR INLET: 1/2 open
- LOWER SECONDARY AIR INLET: 1/2 open
- SMOKE VALVE (VIVA): closed
