Frequently Asked Questions - Gioia 470 Lincar

How to light the Gioia 470 stove?

Place a firelighter cube or paper, add 0.5 kg of wood chips and three small pieces of wood. Fully open the primary and secondary air. Light, close the door. After 15-25 minutes, adjust the air inlets according to the regulation table. Use only dry wood, never flammable liquids.

What fuel to use?

The recommended fuel is dry log wood (moisture content below 14%), length 30 cm, preferably beech. Lignite briquettes are also allowed. It is forbidden to use liquid fuels, coal, straw, corn, hazelnuts, pine cones, pellets or treated wood.

What safety distances must be observed?

For combustible materials: front (A) ≥ 1000 mm, sides (B) ≥ 350 mm, rear (C) ≥ 250 mm, above (D) ≥ 1500 mm. For non-combustible objects: front ≥ 500 mm, sides ≥ 200 mm, rear ≥ 200 mm, above ≥ 1500 mm. The floor must be protected with a non-combustible material extending 500 mm at the front, 300 mm on the sides and 100 mm at the rear.

How to clean the stove glass?

Clean the glass only when the stove is cold. Use a sponge soaked with a specific stove glass cleaner, then wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive products. If the glass gets dirty quickly, check the draft, fuel quality and air settings.

What to do in case of broken or cracked glass?

Do not use the stove anymore and have the glass replaced by an approved technician. Only original parts are allowed. Using with damaged glass may cause smoke leakage and fire risks.

How to adjust primary and secondary air?

For wood: primary air open to 1/3, secondary air open to 2/3. For lignite: primary air open to 2/3, secondary air open to 1/3. These settings are indicative; adjust according to combustion. Secondary air is mainly used to regulate the fire in normal operation.

Why does the glass blacken quickly?

Possible causes: draft too low (< 10 Pa), incorrect air settings, excess fuel, wood too moist (> 20% moisture) or unsuitable fuel. Solutions: check that the flue is clear, increase draft (chimney height), reduce wood quantity, use dry wood, and adjust air inlets.

How to maintain the flue?

Have the flue swept at least once a year by a professional. Regularly check that it is not blocked. In case of flue fire, close all air inlets and call the fire brigade. Do not use water, but a powder or CO2 extinguisher.

Where to install the Gioia 470 stove?

Install it in a well-ventilated room, on a non-combustible floor (or with protection). Respect the safety distances. Do not install it in a bedroom, bathroom, shower, or near other heating appliances without an independent air supply. The room must have an external air intake of at least 200 cm² free section.

What to do in case of smoke in the room?

First check that all doors (firebox, ash pan) are closed. Make sure the seals are in good condition. Insufficient draft may be due to a blocked flue or too low depression (10-20 Pa required). Clean the appliance and flue, or call a technician for a diagnosis.

2.2 Combustible

The equipment is built to burn only woods :

BURNING WOODS

• Attention: It's not allowed to use liquid combustible or coke/coal. It's also prohibited to use combustible different from woods as straw, mais, peanuts or pinecone. The use of pallet or wood's rejection or type of woods as acacia, conifers or fruit's trees can compromise the goods functioning of the stove and damage some stove's parts.

INFORMATION ON BURNING WOODS

The wood for its use is classified by the: SIZE - MATERIAL - HUMIDITY

The wood that we recommend for combustible is: saisoned beech length 25÷ 30 cm with P.C.I. (calorific power inside) 4,3kWh / kg

IDENTIFICATION	NR.	LETTERS
WOOD DIM :
Tondello	1	BIG

• To guarantee a perfect combustion, it's necessary to keep the combustible in a very dry and protected area.
  The wood - output depends on its relative humidity in % (see the schedule enclosed).

2.3 STARTING

• The appliance should set at work only after having completed the following operations: complete assembling, connection to exhaust fumes duct and to the heating plant. A new appliance needs to complete the drying process of the paint. During the first heatings you can notice the following situations:

• During the first ignitions the appliance may exhale bad smell. We suggest a good aeration of the room till bad smells have been eliminated.

• The complete drying process will be obtained after some heating operations

• The equipment is a wood stove with a functioning as Normative EN 13240. Thanks to combustion chamber structure, the equipment has an high calorific efficiency.

WOOD LOADING

• The stove should be loaded manually during the functioning.
• The loading of combustible should be done when the flame is minimum to avoid combustion products or fumes outlet from the fire door.
• To open the fire door, employ the fixture enclosed.

STARTING AND FUNCTIONNING

N.B. For starting never use alcohol, fuel or other liquid combustibles

• In case of starting during particular cold days or with low pressure, it's advisable to heat the chimney burning papers in stove.
• For wood burning loads please read the chapter "Technical Data" and follow the instructions indicated for quantities.

IGNITION

• To arrange on foyer a cube-lighting or a small quantity of paper, around 0.5kg of wood in small pieces. Open entirely the prime and secondary air, light the paper and close the foyer door.
• When the stove is completely lighted, add some larger wood pieces. Repeat this operation till when the stove has reached the "Hourly Charge" as indicated in the technical details, than regulate the prime and secondary air as indicated in the chapter Regulations.
  It's advisable to load the stove when the flame is not too high, to avoid the exit of combustion products.
• During the stove's functioning, it's advisable to set several times the ash-grate to clean often the brazier.

Fig. 1

LOADING - TO RESTART WITH EMBERS (Moderates flames)

In case of starting with embers, go on as follows :

• Thicken the embers in the middle of the foyer.
• Open totally the prime air.
  Wait few minutes till in the brazier appears a flame sufficient for a new starting.
• Load some wood pieces and wait for the complete starting.
• Replace the prime air in the normal position as indicated in the chapter "Regulations".

SHAKING FOYER GRATE (Fig.1 - Fig.2)

• Open the ash door using the thermic glove and employing the poker, shake the grate of the foyer. The ash will fall down into the ash drawer and the foyer will be always clean and ready for next wood loading.

ASH DRAWER

• The ash drawer should be emptied from ash using the thermic glove. The ash drawer emptying should be done when the stove is cold.
  The ash drawer is placed under the foyer, to reach it, it's necessary to open the ash door.
  The emptying of ash drawer must be done when the stove is completely cold. Be careful to the presence of ambers or warm pieces.
• Do not forget to insert the ash drawer in its place. The functioning of the stove without the ash drawer has to be considered dangerous.
• Please employ the thermic glove in case of ash drawer's emptying when the stove is still warm.

FIRE CONTROL

• To obtain always a good compromise between the thermic performance and the combustible consumption, it's advisable to keep the following regulations : during the normal employing the fire intensity can be regulated employing the prime and secondary air lever.
  After the starting phase, the stove can be regulated as the following fire control position :
