PRIMARY AIR:
Primary air is that emitted at the base of the flame to promote stove
lighting
SECONDARY AIR:
Secondary air emission is set and used to partially clean the glass
permitting the combustion process to be completed. Thanks to this, if
well calibrated, stove yield and heating performance is improved.
5.3.2.1.
Model adjustments: LUNA – MYRIA –
ANTHEA – MODULO
Move the regulation lever to the right to increase combustion air
entrance in the combustion chamber. Vice versa, move the lever to the

PRIMARY AIR or START LEVER
The left lever, marked “START” on the wood door, brings a large
quantity of primary air under the furnace fire surface to quickly and
efficiently light the fire. To do this, push the lever to the limit stop.
15 minutes after light the fire, this lever should be closed pulling
it out to its limit stop. From this moment, regulations are only made
with the secondary air knob.
SECONDARY AIR AND POST-COMBUSTION KNOB
Use this knob to regulate secondary air entrance to the combustion
chamber. As mentioned, secondary air is the one that permits
combustion to complete and improves yield. Rotate the knob counter-
clockwise to increase the quantity of incoming air; vice versa, rotate the
knob clockwise to reduce the quantity of air in the combustion chamber.
5.3.3.
FIRST LIGHTING
It is advisable to approach the first lighting with caution, using
good-quality, well-seasoned wood.
Combustion air entrance must be fully open. Once combustion has
started, pieces of wood of normal size may be added.
