Fuel Type; First Lighting - EdilKamin BIG Installations-, Betriebs- Und Wartungsanleitung

NOTE on the fuel: wood
For a correct operation of the stove, it is necessary to burn dry
natural wood, with a humidity of maximum 20%.
Warning: while in operation, some parts of the stove reach
very high temperatures; therefore, we recommend keeping a
good eye on children.
The stove has been designed to work with the door closed only.
Heat is propagated by radiation and convection.
Always use the provided glove to open the door and to make
the adjustments.

FIRST LIGHTING

Any unpleasant odour or smoke could be caused by materials
used during construction evaporating or drying.
This tends to die down after a few days.
To light the stove proceed as follows: place some paper in the
fi rebox together with a small amount of thin, well-seasoned
pieces of wood to create the best possible fl ame.
NOTE:
do not use alcohol, petrol, kerosene or other liquid fuels to light
the fi re. Keep liquid fuels away from the fi re.
Do not use fi relighters made from petroleum or chemical sub-
stances: they may cause serious damage to the fi rebox walls.
Use eco-friendly fi relighters only.
Overloading (over 3.5 kg/h) or excessively lively fl ames may
damage the fi rebox compartment..

FUEL TYPE

This stove is preferably fed with well-seasoned
beech/birch wood Each type of wood has different characteri-
stics that also affect combustion effi ciency.
The declared nominal kW yield of the stove is obtained by bur-
ning the correct amount of wood, taking care not to overload
the combustion chamber.
Fuel and heating power
Combustion has been optimised from a technical point of
view both with regards to the design of the hearth and its
air supply as well as in terms of emissions.
Please support our commitment to a clean environment by
observing the directions listed below regarding the use of
combustible materials that do not contain and do not produce
harmful substances.
As far as fuel, use only natural and seasoned wood or
wood briquettes. Wet or fresh cut wood or wood stored
improperly present a high water content and therefore do
not burn properly, create smoke and produce little heat.
Only use fi rewood which has been seasoned for a minimum
of year two years in a ventilated and dry environment.
In this case, water content will be below 20% of the
weight. This way you will save in terms of combustible
material, as the seasoned wood has a much higher calorifi c
value.
Never use liquid fuels such as gasoline, alcohol or similar.
Do not burn waste.
Note: Seasoned wood has a calorifi c value of approximately
4 kWh/kg, while fresh cut wood has a calorifi c value
of only 2 kWh/kg.
Therefore, to achieve the same calorifi c
value you would have to use double the fuel.

ATTENTION: If the hearth is fuelled by an excessive
amount of fuel or an improper fuel, the danger of overheating
can occur with consequent damage to the product.
