6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 Before firing the stove for the first time
You have now been instructed by one of our specialized dealers on how to fire your ARTE
®
wood stove.
In these operating instructions we wish to set down each step that you must take if you are to encounter no
problems when operating your ARTE
®
wood stove.
Your specialized dealer will be pleased to assist you with any questions you may have.
ARTE
®
wood stove is equipped with the following controls:
6.3 General information
6.3.1 When the stove paint dries
When the stove is fired for the first few times the paint on the stove emits an odour when it dries.
Let the fire burn with a high draught until all traces of the gas have disappeared and no smoke or odour
can be detected.
The gas is not toxic but the room should be thoroughly ventilated.
6.3.2 Preparations for firing
Have ready an adequate supply, of chopped firewood, ecofriendly lighting aids and kindling. You are best
storing the wood in a warm room for a number of days before firing.
6.3.3 Air pipe inlet for combustion and air ventilating system
Operation with indoor air: Extractor hoods and ventilating systems can affect the operation of your ARTE
®
wood stove. Please make sure that there is adequate incoming air for multiple installations. Operating the
extractor hood and ventilating system can force dangerous flue gases out of the stove and into the room.
Under the firing regulations, joint operations are permitted only in conjunction with a flue gas controller.
When the extractor hood or ventilating system is put into operation, at least one window in the room must
be open.
Operation with external fresh air: Make sure the room is adequately ventilated when your stove is operat-
ing with external fresh air. When the firing chamber door is opened for more firewood, there must be no
sustained under pressure in the room.
6.3.4 Heating in the transition time and in difficult conditions
In damp or foggy weather, at outdoor temperatures from ≥15 °C, and during the transition time you are
advised to light a pilot fire before firing the stove proper. This serves to displace the cold, heavy air in the
chimney and to create the right conditions for the optimal extraction of smoke.
This pilot fire is lit with paper in the chimney’s inspection aperture until extraction is assured.
6.4 Top and rear fuel pipe
The stove is made so the fumes out-
let can be reversed from top to rear
and vice versa. The stove is standard
produced with top outlet but, during
installation, it can be altered as fol-
lows:
> Remove the top cup and the
sides of the stove. (Fig. 5A)
> Remove the back cover. (Fig.5B)
> Remove closing cap (1) by un-
screwing the 5 security screws.
(Fig. 5C)
> Remove the flange with the top
smoke outlet pipe, 150 mm in
diameter (2), by unscrewing the
relative security screws and
pulling it out. (Fig. 5C)
