USER/INSTALLER
The product is designed to burn wood logs or sawdust logs.
Use dry wood logs (max humidity 20%)

The use of damp wood leads to fouling of the product and the barrel, the risk of smoke and a lower yield than
declared.
Each type of wood has different characteristics, which also affect the combustion efficiency.
The data shown in this manual are with the wood used during the certification.
Generally speaking, wood can have a calorific value of 4.6 kWh/kg while fresh cut has a calorific value of around 2
kWh/kg
In general, we recommend beech, elm, or in any case class A1 wood in compliance with UNI EN ISO 17225-5
Pay attention to the prolonged use of wood rich in aromatic oils (e.g. eucalyptus). It can deteriorate cast iron
components.
Use the recommended quantities of wood.
An overload causes overheating resulting in damage:
possible deformation of the internal parts;
possible irreversible changes in the colour of the paint on the metal parts
for which neither Edilkamin nor the retailer will be able to answer.
