does not comply with this criterion, it should be adapted with appropriate measures (for example, a
weight distribution plate).
FUEL
- Use only dry wood with a maximum moisture content of 20%. Wood with a moisture content higher than 50 or
60% does not heat and combusts very badly, and creates a lot of tar, releases excessive amounts of vapour and
deposits excess sediments onto the stove, glass and smoke outlet.
- The fire should be lit using special fire lighters, or paper and small pieces of wood. Never try to light the
fire using alcohol or similar products.
- Do not burn domestic rubbish, plastic materials or greasy products that can pollute the environment and lead
to risks of fire due to obstruction of the pipes.
-In TRIVISION stoves, in order for the side windows to remain clean, the firewood to be
used must be very dry, with a humidity percentage of less than 12%.
FUNCTION
- It is normal for smoke to appear during the first few uses of the stove, as certain components of the heat-
resistant paint burn whilst the pigment of the actual stove is fixed. Therefore the room should be aired until
the smoke disappears.
- The woodstove is not designed to function with the door open under any circumstances.
- The stove is intended to function intermitently with intervals for recharging the fuel.
- For the lighting process of the stove it is recommended you use paper, fire lighters or small sticks of wood. Once
the fire starts to burn, add to it two logs of wood each weighing 1.5 to 2 kg as a first initial charge. In this
lighting process the air inlets of the stove must be kept completely open. If necessary the drawer for removing
ashes can also be opened to begin with. Once the fire is more intense, close the drawer completely (if open)
and regulate the intensity of the fire by closing and opening the air inlets.
- In order to achieve the stated nominal heat output of this stove a total quantity of 1,63 kg of wood must be
placed inside at intervals of 45 min.
The logs should be positioned horizontally and separate from one another, to
assure a correct combustion. In any instance a charge of fuel must not be added to the stove until the previous
charge has been burnt, leaving only a basic fire bed which is enough to light the next charge but no
stronger.
- To achieve a slow combustion you should regulate the fire with the air draughts, which must be kept
permanently unblocked to allow the combustion air to be distributed.
- After the first initial lighting, the brass pieces of the stove may become a coppery colour.
- It is normal for the seal of the glass door panel to melt with use. Even though the stove can function without
this seal, it is recommended that you replace it seasonally.
- The lower drawer can be removed in order to clear out ash. Empty it regularly without waiting for it to fill up
too much, to avoid the grill becoming damaged. Take care with the ash which may still be hot up to 24 hours
after the stove has been used.
- Do not open the door abruptly in order to avoid smoke being released, and never open it without
the air draught beforehand. Open the door only in order to put in the appropriate fuel.
