4.9.2. The colour
The colour is in some ways linked to the shape of the flame. A colour
which varies from orange to yellow, with dark tips to the flame, is liable
to be a swollen flame (as described above), lacking in oxygen or at
least indicative of faulty combustion. As the colour changes towards
light yellow - white, the shape of the flame alters, becoming thinner
and showing the presence of higher levels of oxygen.
4.9.3. The character
Liveliness or weakness is in any case closely connected to the shape of
the flame.
4.10. OPERATION
4.10.1. Operating concept
When you light the stove using the button r , after the initial ignition
phase of about 15 minutes, during which the display (8) shows the
intermediate phases “FAN ACC – LOAD WOOD – FIRE ON“, the stove
will start running in AUTOMATIC mode at medium power, and it will
make a first check of the temperature to be reached.
The ambient temperature is shown on the upper display (8) of the
panel, whereas the temperature of the water in the boiler is indicated
on the lower one alternating with the message H
2
O
In this operating mode, you can vary only the desired room
temperature using the buttons
n and o .
The main purpose of the stove is to bring the room
temperature as measured by the thermostat (internal or
external) up to the temperature set by the user.
Then, based on the room temperature, it performs the
following evaluation:
Room temperature < Thermostat temperature ?
•
YES
This means that the stove must heat the room. Therefore, it will
begin gradually raising its flame power until it is at its maximum.
• NO
This means that the stove has achieved its objective in heating the
room. Therefore, it will decrease its power to a minimum, and it
will leave it there until the room temperature again drops below
the temperature set in the thermostat, unless the ECO-STO
function is enabled (see paragraph 4.9.3)
For proper operation, it is indispensable for the room
thermostat (internal or external) to measure the
temperature reliably, since the correct operation is
based almost exclusively on the aforementioned
control.
