Fuel Characteristics - Palazzetti ELSA NEW Installations- Und Wartungsanleitung

Incorrect use of the product or incor-
rect maintenance works may create a
serious risk of explosion in the combus-
tion chamber.
Only use the fuel recommended by the
manufacturer. The product must never
be used as an incinerator.
It is prohibited to use benzene, lamp
fuel, kerosene, liquid firelighter for
wood, ethyl alcohol or similar liquids
to light or rekindle a flame in this ap-
pliance. Keep these liquids at a due
distance from the appliance during
operation.
Some tips to avoid corrosion
phenomena:
• carry out routine cleaning operations
to avoid the build-up of ash deposits;
• feed the appliance only with fuel
having the characteristics described
in the section "Fuel
• Do not use solvents, acids, aggressive
detergents or products to directly
clean the glass or other components
of the product;
• avoid leaving the product in unfavour-
able ambient conditions (humidity,
airborne salinity, storms, etc.);
• if the appliance is not used for a long
time (e.g. summer period), introduce
desiccant bags into the combustion
chamber to absorb moisture from the
air, being sure to remove them when
the product is switched on again.

FUEL CHARACTERISTICS

3.1 Fuel characteristics
The appliance should preferably be
fuelled with well seasoned beech/birch
wood. Each type of wood has different
characteristics that also affect the com-
bustion efficiency.
The use of conifers (pine-fir) is discour-
aged: they contain high quantities of
resinous substances that quickly clog
the flue.
Waste, bark, wood treated with paints,
panels, coal, plastic materials, paper
and cardboard cannot be burned,
under penalty of forfeiture of the appli-
ance warranty.
The continuous and prolonged use of
wood particularly rich in aromatic oils
(e.g. eucalyptus, myrtle, etc.) causes
sudden deterioration of the internal
components of the product.
The nominal yield declared in kW of the
stove, is obtained by burning a correct
quantity of wood, being careful not to
overload the combustion chamber.
The wood must have a recommended
humidity no higher than 25%, an ideal
length of approximately 33 cm and
must be placed in a horizontal position,
making sure not to completely obstruct
the slots in the fire box grate and the
front and rear holes of the combustion
air distributor.
The reference standard for the fuel is
UNI/ISO 17225-1 "wood logs of forest
origin".
It is prohibited to use the appliance as
an incinerator to burn rubbish.
