6.4. FIRST LIGHTING
It is advisable to approach the first lighting with caution, using
good-quality, well-seasoned wood.
The primary air inlet must be fully open. Do not use alcohol,
petrol, or other volatile flammable substances. On first lighting,
fumes and unpleasant smells may be given off, caused by the drying of
the product; this is not hazardous to the health, and it is sufficient to
ventilate the room adequately. Once combustion has started, pieces of
wood of normal size may be added.
The flame must have as far as possible a smooth and laminar flow. On
the various occasions when the stove needs reloading, the
door should be opened slowly, to avoid blowbacks of smoke
into the room.
Proceed as follows:

Place a small amount of balled paper in the stove.
 Cover the paper with a small quantity of twigs and a few pieces of
wood.
 Open the primary air register completely (turn completely to the
left) fig.14
 Light the paper and if necessary leave the door open to the first
stage.
 When the twigs are burning, the door can be closed.
 Only once the flame is burning well (presence of a bed of coals and
full combustion), place the air adjustment between the two flames
(see fig.14) large flame to obtain nominal power, small flame for
slow combustion.
As the fire burns, add wood. Never overload the fireplace stove
with wood (see technical specifications in the table).
As soon as the flames have died down and a bed of embers has
formed, load the stove normally. Small loads of wood are preferable to
large ones for combustion.
Attention
 Do not use volatile, flammable substances
(petrol, alcohol etc.) for lighting the fire.
 Do not use fuels which could release toxic
substances or pollutants.
 Do not put the fire out by throwing water on it.
 Check the external and internal air intakes, and
the flue pipe, at least once a year, arranging for
them to be cleaned.
 During use, the metal parts and the glass reach
high temperatures. For all jobs of loading the
stove, adjustment or cleaning the ash drawer,
use the insulating glove provided.
 Never leave children unattended near the
fireplace stove when it is in use.
 The risk of burns from contact with hot surfaces
is very high.
