6.2. About ARTE® PHOENIX woodstove
Pic. 6.2.1
The woodstove you just received is a device that is designed to offer you optimal heating distribution in your area with very high efficiency.
6.3. General information
6.3.1. When the woodstove paint dries
ARTE ® products are painted in spray booth with as more environmentally friendly and ecological colors as possible. There is although a
possibility that the first few times the woodstove is lighted, the paint emits an odor. Let the fire burn with intense convection until all traces of
gas disappear and there is no longer a smell. The gas is not toxic, but the room should be well ventilated.
6.3.2. Incineration preparation
Prepare sufficient amount of chopped firewood, kindling and branches or torches. Before using the wood it is recommended to store them
in a warm place for a few days.
6.3.3. Combustion air intake
ARTE® PHOENIX woodstoves provide two different options for combustion air intake.
1. Use of internal air:
The presence of kitchen hoods, ventilation systems or other heating appliances may affect the operation of the woodstove. When
operating more than one device, make sure that there is sufficient air intake. The simultaneous operation of a kitchen hood or a ventilation
system with the woodstove may draw in hazardous gases from the woodstove towards the interior of the room.
According to the operating regulations, the concomitant use of similar devices may be acceptable only if there is a flue gas control
device. When there is a kitchen hood, a ventilation system or other heating appliances in use, at least one window in the room must
remain open.
2. Use of external air:
Although the woodstove uses external air for combustion, make sure that the room is ventilated adequately when the woodstove operates
with external fresh air. When you open the door of the combustion chamber for adding firewood there should be no pressure difference
between outdoor and indoor air in the room, so it is good to keep the door open for about 1.5cm for 5-6 seconds and then fully open it.
The air inlet must be positioned so as not to allow being covered.
The air inlet must be communicating with the combustion space and protected by a
grille.
The minimum surface of the air inlet should not be less than ~110cm

Avoid using air inlets connected with garages, kitchens, bathrooms or boiler rooms.
