Functioning in mid-seasons

To suck the air for fuelling and to dischar-

ge smoke, the TITANO UP2 hearth

requires draught from the chimney/flue.

With the increase of the external

temperatures, the draught decreases.

Verify the chimney draught before

lighting the fire, in case external

temperatures are higher than 10°C.

If the draught is weak, initially ignite a

“starting” fire using small sized igniting

material. Once the correct chimney

draught is restored, you can introduce the

fuel.

Air flow in the room where the hearth is

installed

The TITANO UP2 hearth is able to work

regularly only if in the room where it is

installed there is sufficient air flow for the

fuelling. Provide a sufficient air flow befo-

re igniting the chimney.

The air power supply devices for fuelling

must not be altered.

Whenever the air volume results scarce

and the type of building in which the chim-

ney is installed particularly air sealed, it

will be necessary to install a supplementa-

ry air inlet of 150 cm² as previously said.

Igniting with cold hearth

1. Check that the ash bed is not too high.

Maximum height: 5 cm underneath the

hatch edge. If the ash bed becomes too

high, there is a danger that when opening

the hatch to add wood, fragments of coal

may fall out of the hearth.

2.Pull the regulating lever of the air valve

in the “switch on” position. Air for fuelling

will flow intensely to the wood in the

hearth, to rapidly reach good fuelling.

3. The wood must be placed in the hearth

without excessively crowding it. Place an

igniter between the wood logs, and ignite.

The igniters are practical aids to start the

fuelling.

Attention: very large wood logs do not

ignite properly in a cold hearth and free

noxious gasses. Never use material such

as petrol, alcohol and similar to ignite

the hearth!

4.At this point, close the hearths hatch and

supervise for a few minutes. Should the

fire go out, slowly open the hatch, allocate

another igniter between the wood logs and

re-ignite.

5. Should the fire not require further addi-

tion of wood, the moment the same fire is

exhausted, push the regulating lever of the

air valve in the “maintain fire” position.

Do not carry out such regulation during the

fuelling phase, in that, when the lever is in

the maintain fire position, the air flow for

fuelling results completely blocked.

Fuel and heating power

The fuelling has been optimised from a

technical point of view, both with regard to

the conception of the hearth and the respecti-

ve air power supply, and with regard to the

emissions.

We invite you to support our commitment in

favour of a clean environment by observing

the following indications with regard to the

use of fuelling materials which do not con-

tain, nor produce, noxious substances.

Only use natural and seasoned wood, or

wood briquettes, as fuel. Damp wood, freshly

cut or stored incorrectly has a high water con-

tent and therefore does not burn well, produ-

ces smoke but very little heat.

Only use burning wood with minimum two

years seasoning in an airy and dry room. In

such case, the water content will result lower

than 20% of the weight. In this way you will

save in fuelling material, as the seasoned

wood has a higher heating power.

Never use liquid fuel such as petrol, alcohol

or similar. Do not burn waste.

Radiation field

Do not place any fuel object inside the radia-

tion field of the glass hatch.

Initial start-up

The paint of the hearth is subject to the so cal-

led ageing until the working temperature is

reached for the first time.

This may cause unpleasant odours. In such

case, adequately air the room where the

hearth is installed. The phenomenon will

disappear after the first ignitions.

Danger of burns

The external surfaces of the TITANO UP2

hearth, in particular the glassceramic panel,

heat up. Do not touch - danger of burns!

Children should be particularly warned.

However, children must be kept away from

the switched on hearth.

Air grills

Careful not to close or obstruct the hot air

outlets. This causes danger of overheating

inside the covering.

Hearth functioning with hatch open

In case of functioning with hatch open, the

hearth will have to be constantly kept under

control. Very hot coal may be projected outsi-

de the hearth.

Addition of fuel

The use of a protective glove is suggested to

“add wood”, in that, in case of prolonged use,

the handle may heat up.

Slowly open the hatch. In this way, the for-

ming of a vortex of leaking smoke is avoided.

When is it time to add wood? When the fuel

has almost turned to coal.

In case of sudden oxygen flow (for ex. due

to the opening of the hearths panel) the

“gasses still present” in the hearth and in

the eventual heat recovery surfaces, may

react violently with said atmospheric inco-

ming oxygen.

Power supply with hot hearth

With the glove provided, slowly lift the

hatchand add the desired amount of wood

in the hearth, placing it on the existing

coal. In this way, the wood will heat up

with the consequent expulsion, in the form

of steam, of the contained humidity. This

leads to a decrease of the temperature insi-

de the hearth. The volatile substances let

out at this point by the fuelling material,

require a sufficient air flow, so that this cri-

tical phase, from a technical point of view

of the emissions, can be rapidly carried out

and the required temperature can be rea-

ched for correct fuelling.

A further suggestion:

For the initial ignition of the hearth,

always use the smaller wood logs. These

rapidly burn and therefore bring the hearth

to the right temperature in less time. Use

the larger wood logs to re-power the

hearth.

Certain types of wood briquettes inflate

once they are in the hearth, meaning they

stretch under the heat and increase in volu-

me.

Always place the wood well inside the

hearth, nearly touching the rear wall of the

same, so that should it slide, it does not fall

in the hatch.

Removing the ash

You can remove the ash using a shovel or

with an ash sucker. Only place the ash in

non fuelling containers, bearing in mind

that the residual coal may re-ignite even

after more than 24 hours from last fuelling.

N.B. The seasoned wood has a heating

power of about 4 kWh/kg, whereas fresh

wood has a heating power of only 2

kWh/kg. Therefore, to obtain the same

heating power, double the fuel is required.

ATTENTION: If the hearth is powered

inadequate fuel, the risk of over-heating

may be incurred.
