CUCINOTTA20 7093101 - IT - EN - DE - FRThe openings for air (primary and secondary) must be opened together (you must open the eventual Ignition control, and butterfly valveplaced on the pipe of smokes exhaust). When the wood starts burning, you may load other fuels and adjust the air for combustionaccording to the instructions on paragraph TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION.Please always be present during this phase.Never overload the appliance (see the technical table - max quantity of fuel that can be loaded / hourly consumption). Too much fuel andtoo much air for combustion can cause overheating and therefore damage the appliance. The warranty does not cover the damagesdue to overheating of the equipment.Never switch on the device when there are combustible gases in the room.9.1. LOW EMISSION fire lightingSmokeless combustion is a way of lighting a fire able to significantly reduce the emission of harmful substances. The wood burns graduallyfrom the top downwards, so combustion is slower and more controlled. Burnt gases pass through the high temperatures of the flame andtherefore burn almost completely. A load will last from 6 to 8 hours.Place the logs in the hearth a certain distance apart as shown in the Picture 7 at page 44. Arrange the largest at the bottom and the smallestat the top, or vertically in the case of tall narrow combustion chambers. Place the fire starter module on top of the pile, arranging the firstlogs in the module at right angles to the pile of wood.Fire STARTER MODULE. This fire starter module replaces a paper or cardboard starter.Prepare four logs, 20 cm long with a cross section of 3 cm by 3 cm Picture 7 at page 44. Cross the four logs and place them on top of thepile of wood at right angles, with the fire lighter (wax impregnated wood fibre for example) in the middle. The fire can be lit with a match. Ifyou want, you can use thinner pieces of wood. In this case, you will need a larger quantity.Keep the flue gas exhaust valve and combustion air regulator open.After lighting the fire, leave the combustion air regulator open in the position shown in according to the instructions on paragraphTECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONFUEL Primary AIR Aria SECONDARIAWood CLOSED 1/2 OPENIMPORTANT:• do not add further wood between one complete load and the next;• do not suffocate the fire by closing the air intakes;• regular cleaning by a chimney sweep reduces fine particle emissions.• These instructions are backed by ENERGIA Legno SVIZZERA www.energia-legno.ch10. NORMAL OPERATIONAfter having positioned the registers correctly, insert the indicated hourly wood load avoiding overloads that cause anomalous stresses anddeformations (according to the instructions on paragraph TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION). You should always use the product with thedoor closed in order to avoid damages due to overheating (forge effect). The inobservance of this rule makes the warranty expire.For safety reasons the door of the appliances with constructive system 1, must be opened only for the loading of the fuel or for removingthe ashes, while during the operation and the rest, the door of the hearth must remain closed.The appliances with constructive system 2 must be connected to their own flue. The operating with open door is allowed under supervision.IMPORTANT: For safety reasons the door of the hearth can be opened only for the loading of the fuel. The hearth door mustalways remain closed during operation or rest.With the controls positioned on the front of the appliance it is possible to adjust the heat emission of the hearth. They have to be openedaccording to the calorific need. The best combustion (with minimum emissions) is reached when, by loading the wood, most part of the airfor combustion flows through the secondary air register.Never overload the appliance (see the hourly wood load in the table here below). Too much fuel and too much air for the combustion maycause overheating and then damage the stove. You should always use the appliance with the door closed in order to avoid damages dueto overheating (forge effect). The inobservance of this rule makes the warranty expire.The adjustment of the registers necessary to reach the rated calorific yield with a depression at the stack of 12 Pa (1,2mm of column ofwater) is the following one: see chapter TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION. The appliance works as an intermittent operating appliance.Besides the adjustment of the air for the combustion, the intensity of the combustion and consequently the thermal performance of thedevice is influenced by the stack. A good draught of the stack requires a stricter adjustment of air for combustion, while a poor draughtrequires a more precise adjustment of air for combustion.To verify the good combustion, check whether the smoke coming out from the stack is transparent.If it is white, it means that the device is not properly adjusted or the wood is too wet; if instead the smoke is gray or black, it signals that thecombustion is not complete (it is necessary a greater quantity of secondary air).10.1. USE OF THE OVEN (If present)Thanks to the air flow for the combustion, the temperature of the oven may become remarkably affected. A sufficient flue of the chimneyand of the channels, well cleaned for the flow of burning smokes around the oven are fundamental for a good cooking result. The oven panmay be located on different plans. Thick cakes and big roasts must be introduced in the lowest level. Flat cakes and biscuits must reachthe medium level. The upper level may be used to heat or grill.
