TERMOCUCINOTTA EVO DSA - TERMOCUCINOTTA DSA22 7093041 - IT - EN - DE - FR9. LIGHTINGATTENTION: never light for any reason if the installation is not completely full of water in order to avoid a serious damage ofthe whole structure. IABSOLUTELY DO NOT LIGHT THE FIRE IN THE THERMO-FIREPLACE IN THE TOTAL OR PARTIALABSENCE OF WATER (NOT EVEN FOR CHECKING), AS IT COULD BE IRREMEDIABLY RUINED. IN SUCH CASE THEWARRANTY ON THE APPLIANCE IS VOIDED.WARNING: After the first ignition you can smell bad odours (owing to the drying of the glue used in the garnitures or of the paint) whichdisappear after a brief using of the appliance. It must be ensured, in any case, a good ventilation of the environment. Upon thefirst ignition we suggest loading a reduced quantity of fuel and slightly increasing the calorific value of the equipmentTo perform a correct first lighting of the products treated with paints for high temperature, it is necessary to know the following information:• the construction materials of the involved products are not homogeneous, in fact there are simultaneously parts in cast iron, steel,refractory material and majolica;• the temperature to which the body of the product is subject is not homogeneous: from area to area, variable temperatures within therange of 300°C - 500°C are detected;• during its life, the product is subject to alternated lighting and extinguishing cycles in the same day, as well as to cycles of intense useor of absolute standstill when season changes;• the new appliance, before being considered seasoned has to be subject to many start cycles to allow all materials and paints tocomplete the various elastic stresses;• in detail, initially it is possible to remark the emission of smells typical of metals subject to great thermal stress, as well as of wet paint.This paint, although during the manufacture it is backed at 250 °C for some hours, must exceed many times and for a given period oftime the temperature of 350 °C before becoming completely embedded in the metallic surfaces.Therefore, it is extremely relevant to take these easy steps during the lighting:1. Make sure that a strong air change is assured in the room where the appliance is installed.2. During the first starts, do not load excessively the combustion chamber (about half the quantity indicated in the instructions manual)and keep the product continuously ON for at least 6-10 hours with the registers less open than the value indicated in the instructionsmanual.3. Repeat this operation for at least 4-5 or more times, according to your possibilities.4. Then load more and more fuel (following in any case the provisions contained in the installation booklet concerning maximum load)and, if possible, keep the lighting periods long avoiding, at least in this initial phase, short ON/OFF cycles.5. During the first starts, no object should be leaned on the appliance and in detail on enameled surfaces. Enameled surfacesmust not be touched during heating.6. Once the «break-in» has been completed, it is possible to use the product as the motor of a car, avoiding abrupt heating with excessiveloads.To light the fire, it is suggested to use small wood pieces together with paper or other traded lighting means.It is FORBIDDEN to use any liquid substance as for ex. alcohol, gasoline, oil and similar.ATTENTION: during the first lightings there could be a solid smokes condensation with a small escape of water from the thermo-fireplace: this event will expire in a very short time but if it persists it will be necessary to check the chimney draught.The 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 8 at page 59. 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 8 at page 59. Cross the four logs and place them on top ofthe pile of wood at right angles, with the fire lighter (wax impregnated wood fibre for example) in the middle. The fire can be lit with amatch. If you 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 DESCRIPTIONSpruce* 450 4,5Scots pine * 550 4,4* RESINOUS WOOD NOT SUITABLE FOR THE BURNINGATTENTION : the continuous and protracted use of aromatic wood (eucalyptus, myrtle etc.) quickly damages the cast iron parts(cleavage) of the product.
