• • IMPORTANT: It is important to take into consideration the fact that the heatable volume is greatly influenced by the insulation of the house (energy class of the building) and by the position of the appliance in the planimetry of the house, therefore the indicated values may vary, even significantly.
• ATTENTION:** The indicated values were obtained using beechwood logs (2 logs) with thermal value less than 15,429 kJ/kg and moisture content less than 15%. The use of poorer quality firewood than that specified results in lower yield and lower  efficiency, and produces more ash. Moreover the glass on the feed door will become dirtier sooner.
• *** It is strictly prohibited to load a greater quantity of fuel than that specified in the table. The warranty will not cover damages caused by the prolonged exposure of the appliance to temperatures that are too high.

DIMENSIONS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

THE FUEL

• The fuel for this appliance is ordinary wood billets with a moisture content between 10% and 20% and with a thermal value of 10,400 to 16,400 kJ/kg. We recommend using beech or common hornbeam. If using wood with a lower moisture content or with a higher thermal value the heat produced by the stove will be greater.
• The awareness and use of the right fuel are important aspects to be observed in order to ensure correct operation and long service life of the appliance. To this end we recommend using only dry, well-seasoned wood. We recommend against using wet wood or wood that has been seasoned for less than 18/20 months, as this could be the cause of malfunctions and the formation of tarry deposits that could permanently blacken the walls of the combustion chamber.
• We recommend using logs of max 250 mm long (max recommended section Ø 80 mm) and loading a maximum of 2-3 logs.

MAXIMUM PERMITTED FUEL FEED:

• 2,5 Kg for SOFIA EVO
• 3,5 Kg for ILARIA EVO and FILÒ
• 4,1 Kg per AGORÀ
• 4,5 Kg for VITTORIA EVO and ANNA EVO

THE FUEL FEED INTERVALS MUST NOT BE LESS THAN 1 HR.

• LOADING A LARGER QUANTITY OF FUEL OR LOADING SEVERAL TIMES IN AN HOUR EXPOSES THE COMPONENTS OF THE APPLIANCE TO VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES. FOR THIS REASON, THE WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF THE APPLIANCE TO THESE TEMPERATURES.
• The use of fuel that does not comply with the above specifications or the use of different substances or fuels will immediately void the appliance warranty. The appliance must not be used as an incinerator, and it is prohibited to use any liquid or gas fuel. Do not overload the stove with excessive quantities of fuel; adhere strictly to the maximum declared consumption.

MAIN COMPONENTS KEY

Smoke by-pass
This device creates a direct bypass for the flue gases which facilitates both the lighting and refuelling operations. The riddling tool provided must be used when activating it and only when lighting or stoking the fire.

IT IS PROHIBITED TO LEAVE THE SMOKE BY-PASS OPEN DURING NORMAL OPERATION.
Leaving the Smoke by-pass open during normal operation results in higher fuel consumption than the declared quantity, a considerable drop in efficiency and exposure of the appliance to extremely high temperatures. For this reason, the warranty does not cover any direct or indirect damages caused by prolonged exposure of the appliance to these temperatures.

ATTENTION: The temperature of the Smoke by-pass is very hot while the appliance is operating, so take care not to touch it. The riddling tool provided must be used when handling it.
Pulling the lever outwards activates the smoke bypass, whereas pushing it inwards activates the normal flue gas path.

Primary air control
It is used to regulate the primary air inflow. The primary air passes through the grate of the firebox and fuels the combustion to determine its power and speed. Rotate the control counterclockwise to reduce the air inflow. On the contrary, rotate the control clockwise to increase the air inflow.

ATTENTION: When the appliance is operating the temperature of the primary air control is very high, so take care not to touch it. The glove provided must be worn when handling it.

Secondary combustion air levers
Controls the secondary air inflow which preheats as it passes through the holes in the back of the combustion chamber and facilitates triggering the second combustion. Shift one of the two levers to the left to reduce the air inflow. Whereas to increase the inflow air shift it to the right.

ATTENTION: The temperature of the secondary air levers is very hot while the appliance is operating, so take care not to touch them. The glove provided must be worn when handling them.

Secondary glass cleaning air levers
Control the secondary air inflow which has the function of keeping the glass clean as it flows across it. Shift one of the two levers to the left to increase the air inflow. Whereas to reduce the inflow air shift it to the right.

ATTENTION: The temperature of the secondary air levers is very hot while the appliance is operating, so take care not to touch them. The glove provided must be worn when handling them.

 INSTALLATION

APPLIANCE LOCATION
Follow the general guidelines set out in paragraph 1.1 to the letter. Be aware that the flooring of the installation site must be capable of withstanding the weight of the appliance. If this requirement is not met, it is obligatory to adopt counter measures (for example, load distribution plate …).

• ATTENTION: The room where the appliance is installed must be well-ventilated and free from humidity and salty air. A high level of humidity or saltiness in the room can lead to the onset of rust or corrosion which will not be covered by warranty. The appliance must be positioned at a minimum safe distance from walls and furnishings. If inflammable materials are located in the vicinity of the appliance (e.g.: match boarding, furniture, curtains, pictures and paintings, sofas) it is mandatory to comply with the minimum distances illustrated on the side.
• If the flooring is made of wood or any other combustible material, it is mandatory to install a fireproof floor protector plate between the appliance and the floor. Installation in the vicinity of heat-sensitive materials is only permitted if suitable insulating and fireproof protection is placed between the object and the appliance (ref. Uni 10683). Failure to observe this instruction will immediately invalidate the warranty.

The installer must issue a certificate of conformity for the installation which includes the design plans and the following documents:

1. Report containing the type of materials utilised.
2. Project as defined in Article 5 of Ministerial Decree n° 37 22 January 2008.
3. References to existing partial or previous declarations of conformity (e.g., flue outlet).
4. Copy of the certificate of recognition of the professional technical qualifications.

These documents must, by law, be kept together with the installation, use and maintenance manual. The customer is responsible for verifying, directly or indirectly, that the installation has been carried out to perfection in accordance with relevant regulations in force. Do not install the appliance in unsuitable rooms such as bedrooms, bathrooms, garages and/or lock-ups. It is forbidden to place the appliance in environments with an explosive atmosphere.

ATTENTION, the appliance is not simply a household appliance: if the instructions set out in this manual are not followed and/or if installation of the appliance is not executed perfectly and/or the provisions in force are not strictly complied with, dangerous conditions could arise for both objects and persons. It is the user’s responsibility to verify the presence, in the room, of a vent necessary for supplying oxygen to the appliance. It is strictly prohibited to install the appliance as inset or next to furniture.

4.2 UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE
The appliance is supplied packaged on a pallet; always use trolleys to move the appliance and the appliance must always be in a vertical position. Before positioning and installing it dismantle the appliance from the pallet as described:
– Remove the cover and side panels from the pallet.
– Remove the appliance from the pallet with the aid of a trolley. Slip the bottom of the trolley under the back part of the appliance and
tip the trolley back onto its wheels. Given the weight of the appliance we recommend that this operation be carried out by two people.
Take care when lifting the appliance as the centre of gravity of the weight is concentrated at the front.
– Check that all the mobile parts are in place; remove the labels and stickers from the glass.
IMPORTANT: HANDLE THE APPLIANCE WITH CARE AS DAMAGE CAUSED DURING THE UNPACKING OPERATION WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

ASSEMBLING THE CASING

The appliance is supplied with pre-mounted casings. For the majolica models:

• ATTEN TION: The majolica tiles are handcrafted so they could contain subtle surface imperfections, crazing or shade variations. The layer of glaze has an expansion factor that is different to that of the majolica tiles which is what causes the hairline cracks. This phenomenon is a natural process and is not a defect. We recommend cleaning the majolica tiles with a dry microfibre cloth. Using moist or wet cleaning cloths would show up the natural crazing even more; use only dry, non-abrasive cloths and when the appliance is cold.

For models with metal casing:
ATTENTION: We recommend cleaning the metal only with a dry or slightly moist microfibre cloth. Use only non-abrasive cloths on a cold appliance.

USE OF THE APPLIANCE

• The appliance, when operating, is hot to the touch, particularly the door of the combustion chamber: consequently, take care not to touch any surface. Your appliance has obtained the CE marking. The product must not be used by children, by persons with physical or mental impairments, by persons who are not familiar with the instructions for use and maintenance of the product (the instructions are found in this installation, use and maintenance manual). During the heating and cooling stages, the appliance is exposed to considerable thermal expansions that can cause light expansion sounds. This is a normal process and is not a defect of the product.
• ATTENTION: the door must always remain shut tight when the appliance is operating. While the appliance is in operation the smoke exhaust pipes can reach extremely high temperatures: do not touch them! It is strictly forbidden to use any type of liquid or gaseous fuel to light the appliance. Do not place non-heat resistant or inflammable or combustible objects in the vicinity of the appliance: keep them at a suitable distance. Do not place wet clothing to dry on the appliance. When using a clothes horse, keep at a suitable distance.
• During the first lighting it is quite normal for the paint on the product to give off a slight smell as it completes its drying process. It is recommended to ventilate the room until the paint has completely dried.

LIGHTING
To startup the stove proceed as follows:

1. Activate the Smoke by-pass (refer to paragraph 3.2).

2. Turn the primary air control to roughly half way along its stroke (see figure here above).

3.  Shift the secondary air glass wash levers all the way to the right (see figure here above).

4. Move the secondary combustion air levers 1 cm to the right (see figure here above).
   ATTENTION: BEFORE LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE MAKE SURE THAT THE GRATE IN THE FIREBOX IS CLEAN, THAT IS THAT THERE IS NO ASH OR COMBUSTION RESIDUES.

5. Open the firebox door, place some kindling in the firebox and light it with paper or any other tinder available on the market, then close the firebox door (see figure on the right)
   IT IS PROHIBITED TO USE ANY LIQUIDS OR GASES SUCH AS ALCOHOL, PETROL ETC. TO LIGHT OR REKINDLE THE FIRE.

6. Do not leave the appliance unsupervised while the lighting process is still in progress (roughly 30 minutes to complete the process) or whenever there are abundant burning embers present.

7.  Once the lighting sequence is completed close the Smoke by-pass using the special riddling tool.

• ATTENTION: THE DOOR OF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND OF THE ASH PAN MUST ONLY BE OPENED FOR THE LIGHTING OPERATIONS, FOR STOKING AND FOR REMOVING RESIDUAL MATERIAL. DURING NORMAL OPERATION THE FIREBOX DOOR MUST REMAIN SECURELY CLOSED AND THE SMOKE BY-PASS DEACTIVATED.
• Leaving the Smoke by-pass open during normal operation results in higher fuel consumption than the declared quantity, a considerable drop in efficiency and exposure of the appliance to extremely high temperatures. For this reason, the warranty does not cover any direct or indirect damages caused by prolonged exposure of the appliance to these temperatures.
• ATTENTION: The temperature of the Smoke by-pass is very hot while the appliance is operating, so take care not to touch it. The riddling tool provided must be used when handling it.

REFUELLING
The stove is an intermittent combustion appliance so it requires refuelling. Once combustion is achieved inside the combustion chamber and consequently there are embers present, proceed with the first fuel feed:

1. Smoke by-pass

2. Wait a few seconds and open the firebox door slowly to minimise the risk of smoke escaping and use the riddling tool to spread the embers.
   N.B. It is prohibited to light or reload the fuel with a bed of embers higher than 3 cm as this does not guarantee correct use of the appliance.

3. Take two logs, each of which must not exceed the weight specified in the technical data table, and lay them parallel in the centre of the grate in the combustion chamber, as illustrated in the figures below.

4. Slowly close the firebox door and deactivate the Smoke by-pass using the special riddling tool.

5. Rotate the primary air control counterclockwise almost to the end, leaving the slots roughly just one millimetre open (see figure on the side).

6. To rekindle the fire clear the ash from the air passage slots to promote better combustion. Do not add additional fuel until the previous load has burnt or is reduced to embers, then open the firebox door slowly and place the logs in an orderly manner on the bed of embers. Complete the operation by slowly closing the door.

THERMOMETER
In some models there is a thermometer that indicates the temperature of the oven or the warming plate.
THE THERMOMETER GIVES AN APPROXIMATE, NOT PERFECTLY RELIABLE, READING OF THE TEMPERATURE. THE TEMPERATURE IS STRICTLY RELATED TO THE QUALITY OF THE FUEL, THE FLUE OUTLET DRAUGHT AND OTHER FACTORS, AND MAY EXPERIENCE SUDDEN VARIATIONS. THEREFORE, ALWAYS VISUALLY CHECK THE FOOD FOR DONENESS.

OPENING OF THE WARMING SHELF (SCRIGNO)

The Filò and Agorà models feature a concealed warming shelf. To open the shelf, follow the instructions below:

1. Remove the handle from the back of the stove, using the glove provided (see figure 1). It must always be used through the supplied glove.
2. Using the protective glove, insert the handle into the indicated seat on the left or right side of the cover and lift it up until it locks (see figure 2).
3.  The cover can be opened and locked in two different positions by means of the latch at the two locking points (see figure 3).
4. To close the warming plate again, lift it as far as it will go, so that the rod passes the locking points, and gently guide it downwards (see figure 4).

ATTENTION: the temperature of the handle, lid, riddling tool, and locking lever, during operation is very high, so be careful not to touch them. They should only be operated using the glove provided.

FRONT HANDRAIL ASSEMBLY (ONLY ON FILÒ AND AGORÀ)

To fit the front handrail, follow the procedure below:

1. Secure the two brackets (AO) to the handrail (AN) using the two screws (AK), as shown in Figure 1.
2. Insert the handrail supports under the edge of the cooking top, as shown in Figure 2.
3.  Screw the 2 nuts (AP) into the screws (AQ), as shown in Figure 3.
4. Insert the screws with nuts (AQ+AP) into the handrail supports and tighten until the handrail is securely fastened to the appliance (see Figure 4).

SIDE HANDRAIL ASSEMBLY (ONLY ON FILÒ AND AGORÀ)
If you do not wish to install the handrail at the front, it can be installed laterally, after shortening the handrail supplied. In this case, the dimensions shown in the following figures must be observed.

This operation must only be carried out by professionally qualified personnel, certified in accordance with decree no. 37 of 22 January 2008 and relevant regulations.  PRESCRIPTIONS FOR CORRECT OPERATION

Respect the maximum declared consumption, do not over-load the stove with excessive quantities of fuel as this could cause

MAXIMUM PERMITTED FUEL FEED:

• 2,5 Kg for SOFIA EVO
• 3,5 Kg for ILARIA EVO and FILÒ
• 4,1 Kg for AGORÀ
• 4,5 Kg for VITTORIA EVO and ANNA EVO

THE FUEL FEED INTERVALS MUST NOT BE LESS THAN 1 HR.

• LOADING A LARGER QUANTITY OF FUEL OR LOADING SEVERAL TIMES IN AN HOUR EXPOSES THE COMPONENTS OF THE APPLIANCE TO VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES. FOR THIS REASON, THE WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF THE APPLIANCE TO THESE TEMPERATURES.
• DO NOT THROW THE WOOD INTO THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER, PLACE IT IN GENTLY. THROWING THE WOOD COULD END UP BREAKING PARTS. DAMAGE CAUSED IN THIS WAY IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY
• The appliance must not be used as an incinerator, the use of liquid or gaseous fuels is prohibited.
• Adhere strictly to the operating instructions set out in this manual.
• Always verify that the fuel loaded into the combustion chamber lights correctly. Make sure that this always occurs to avoid any buildup of combustible gases. The buildup of a high quantity of combustible gases could exceed the mechanical resistance of the glass and other components of the stove. For this reason, the manufacturer disclaims all responsibility.
•  In adverse weather conditions, such as for example low pressure, windy or rainy days or days with high outside temperatures, the effect could be a drop in draught or reverse draught. In these situations, the flue gases may not be completely exhausted. Consequently, in these cases it is necessary to increase the primary air and load the smallest amount of fuel in order to reactivate the draught of the flue outlet. If you notice the smell of smoke in the room or stagnation of gases inside the combustion chamber avoid using the appliance.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

FOREWORD

• To guarantee correct operation and optimal performance of the appliance at all times carry out the operations described below. Observe the recommended frequency.
• If the product is unused for a prolonged period of time before starting up it is mandatory to inspect the smoke channel and outlet to ensure that there are no obstructions. It is important to carefully follow the instructions set out below: failure to observe these instructions could cause serious damage to the product, to the system, to objects and to persons using the appliance.
• Attention: do not wet or touch the appliance with wet hands. Never vacuum hot ash: this could damage the vacuum device. All the cleaning operations described in this manual must be carried out when the appliance is cold.

The user must periodically clean the appliance, or have an authorised service centre clean it, as described in this manual. Moreover, once a year it is advisable to have an inspection carried out of the functionality of the flue outlet.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
EVERY TIME YOU REFUEL:

• Agitate the riddling lever back and forth several times so that the ash drops through the slots in the grate. If necessary, thoroughly clean the grate of the combustion chamber by deashing the grate through the slots. The air passage through the firebox grate must always be kept free from obstructions. Use the supplied riddling tool for this operation.

EVERY TWO DAYS or WHENEVER NECESSARY:
Empty the ash pan. We recommend emptying the ash pan regularly before it fills up completely.

• EVERY WEEK:
  Use an ash vacuum device to clean the combustion chamber.

• EVERY 6 MONTHS:

  •  Activate the Smoke by-pass and clean the flue gas path with a flue brush as illustrated in the following photo:
  •  Lift the warming plate with the supplied riddling tool.
  • Thoroughly clean the smoke circuit with an ash vacuum cleaner.

• AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR:
  Clean the flue outlet. If there are any horizontal sections, inspect them and clean out any ash and soot deposits before they block the passage of the flue gases.

CLEANING THE CAST IRON AND GLASS
All the glass and cast-iron parts must only be cleaned when the appliance has cooled down completely with dry, non-abrasive cloths and non-aggressive detergents.

SMOKE EXHAUST TUBE

FOREWORD

• Due to the frequent accidents caused by poor functioning of flue outlets installed in private dwellings, we have prepared the following paragraph to assist the installer in his inspection of the parts concerned with eliminating the gases produced by combustion.
• The exhaust pipe must be installed in compliance with regulations UNI7129, UNI 10683, and with the stated reference values. In particular, the outlet must comply with fire prevention regulations.
• It is important to carefully follow the instructions set out below: failure to observe these instructions could cause serious damage to the product, to the system, to objects and to persons using the appliance.

ROOM VENTILATION

• ATTENTION: The presence of extraction fans or similar appliances, if operating in the same room or space in which the product is installed, could cause problems for the correct operation of the product.
• ATTENTION: do not obstruct the vents or the air inlets on the appliance.

The room where the appliance is installed must have a good air inflow to guarantee air for the appliance for the combustion process and for ventilation of the room. The natural air inflow must take place directly through permanent openings on the outer walls or through single or multiple ventilation ducting.
The ventilation air intake must be located away from pollution sources.

The openings in the walls must comply with the following conditions:

• have an unobstructed section of at least 6cm² for each Kw of installed thermal power, with a minimum limit of 100cm²;
• be made in such a way that the vent openings, both on the inside and outside of the wall, cannot be obstructed;
• be protected with grills or similar systems that do not reduce the opening section indicated above;
• be situated at a height near floor level and they must not obstruct the correct operation of the combustion product discharge devices; if this position is not possible the section of the ventilation openings must be enlarged by at least 50%.

The following chapter is not intended to replace UNI 7129, UNI 10683 and EN 13240 standards. The qualified installer must in any case be fully aware of this standard and its amending versions.

SMOKE OUTLET

• The smoke channel, the exhaust pipe, chimney and flue outlet (defined as the system for the evacuation of combustion products), are parts of the heating system and they must comply with the legislative requirements of the Ministerial Decree D.M. 37/08 (ex Italian Law 46/90) and to the applicable specific installation regulations, according to the type of fuel.
• Fireplaces, stoves and barbecues must not be installed in locations where gas appliances type A and type B are present and operating (for the classification see UNI 10642 and UNI 7129). The connection between the appliance and the flue outlet must only receive exhaust from one heat generator.
• The installer must provide one or more access points on the flue outlet to check the emissions once the appliance has been installed; these access points must be made in such a way as to be air-tight sealable to prevent exhaust gas leaks.
• It is recommended to provide insulation and to ensure the optimal sizing of the flue outlet in order to avoid the possible risk of condensation forming in the flue outlet.

CHIMNEY TYPES
The following types of chimneys, constructed as described, are possible:

• System: chimney installed using a combination of compatible components (flue liner, insulation, outer casing, etc…), manufactured or specified by a single manufacturer and EC certified in accordance with the applicable standard;
• Composite chimney: chimney installed and built on site using a combination of compatible components such as flue liner (wall in direct contact with the flue gases), possibly also insulation and outer casing (wall) that may be supplied by different manufacturers or by the same manufacturer.
•   Relining: operation involving the installation of a specific pipe in an existing shaft (even if newly constructed) made of non-combustible materials, free from obstructions and for single use.

• ATTENTION: Wall outlets, that is outlets installed on the outer front wall without the use of a chimney/flue outlet /flue pipe to convey the combustion products to the roof, are strictly prohibited.

CONTROLS PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

• The user must possess a certificate of conformance for the flue outlet (Ministerial Decree 22 January 2008, no. 37).
• The flue outlet must be built in compliance with UNI 10683.
• The smoke exhaust illustrated in the figure on the side is the best solution required to ensure that the flue gases are discharged. If you prefer to exhaust the smoke from the roof insert a union tee with inspection cap, connecting brackets suitable for the height of the flue outlet, flashing that crosses the roof and chimney cap to protect against bad weather conditions.
• If you decide to use the classic masonry exhaust provide a union tee with inspection cap and suitable supporting brackets. If the flue outlet is too big it is necessary to insert a stainless steel or porcelain-coated steel tube with suitable diameter.
• Seal area where the inlet and outlet part of the smoke exhaust meets the wall. It is strictly forbidden to apply mesh to the end of the outlet tube, as it could cause the appliance to malfunction.
• If the smoke tube is installed in a fixed position, it is advisable to provide inspection openings for clean-out purposes especially in the horizontal sections.
• See the diagram. These openings are essential to allow for the removal of ash and unburned products which tend to accumulate along the discharge path. Seal the fittings with red silicone (resistant to 350°C).
• The outer casing of the tube must be made with insulating material (mineral wool, ceramic fiber) or use pre-insulated tubing.

THE FLUE OUTLET MUST BE USED ONLY FOR THE APPLIANCE.

• It must be possible to inspect and remove all the smoke tube sections for clean-out purposes.
• ATTENTION: if the flue outlet is not sufficiently insulated and /or if it is too long it could generate condensation. It is advisable to provide a condensation drain near the smoke outlet of the appliance. The appliance must always and only be installed in a single flue outlet system dedicated exclusively to the appliance.
• If the generator is connected to a non-compliant flue system the appliance could rapidly deteriorate due to an abnormal, continuous overheating: in this case the damaged parts will not be covered by warranty.
• IF THE CHIMNEY CATCHES FIRE CLOSE THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY AIR LEVERS IMMEDIATELY AND CALL THE FIRE BRIGADE.
