Operation

Technical service – MCZ S.p.A. all rights reserved - Reproduction prohibited

Fuels such as poplar, pine, lime and chestnut have a low calorific value,

being soft woods, soft in the sense of being pulpy, and they do not

burn long. For all listed types, the humidity contained in them is a

fundamental factor.

A high percentage of moisture produces condensation in the

smoke duct causing an alteration in the draught and

generating smoke and a significant deposit of soot in the

firebox, on the glass of the door and in the flue pipe with a

possible risk of a chimney fire later on. It also causes a

considerable overall drop in efficiency.

The use of damp or treated wood emits a higher quantity of

smoke than normal that can dirty glass faster. Also the low

performance of the chimney flue can jeopardise glass

cleanliness since smoke remains in the combustion chamber

longer than normal.

Do not use treated fuels (such as painted or varnished

wood) or unsuitable materials (such as plastics and

derivatives), which could release toxic or polluting

substances.

Do not burn rubbish.
The gases produced by combustion based on the use

of unsuitable fuels cause damage to the product and

the chimney flue; they cause pollution and can

significantly compromise your health.

5.3. USE OF THE INSERT

5.3.1. LOADING THE FUEL

To load fuel, simply open the door by rotating/lifting the handle and

pulling the door open.
During use, the metal parts and the glass reach high temperatures, so

it is necessary to use the special thermal glove supplied.
During combustion, the combustion chamber door must remain

closed.

Loading quantities of fuel over those indicated in the

technical sheets for each single product is prohibited.
Excessive quantities of fuel in the combustion

chamber could damage and deform the firebox and

structure.
MCZ is not liable for any damages caused by

overloaded fuel or the use of fuel that does not meet

specifications.

5.3.2. COMBUSTION CONTROL


PRIMARY AIR
The insert is equipped with primary air emission from the part

underneath that guarantees proper combustion. Moving the lever

towards the base of the arrow provides total opening with a more rapid

combustion, while moving the lever towards the point of the arrow

provides partial closure with slower combustion.
