1. GENERAL WARNINGS

The installation of a stove must be done according to the local, national or European regulations.

Our liability is limited to the supply of the equipment. The installation must be done according to the procedures expected for this
kind of equipments, according to the indications included in this manual and the rules of the profession. The fitters must be qualified,
with official license and they will work for enterprises that accept responsibility of the installation.

Bronpi Calefacción, S.L. will not be responsible for the modifications made to the original product without the prior written permission as well
as for the use of non-genuine spare parts or pieces.

IMPORTANT! This product includes a spray paint can inside the combustion chamber or oven (when applicable) which
must be removed before the ignition.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The equipment that you have purchased contains the following pieces:

- Stove body placed on the pallet.

- Inside the combustion chamber you can find: a box/bag with a thermal glove that allows us to handle the air controls, draft-diverter
valve, door, etc, in order to avoid burns. One electric blowtorch (batteries not included) in order to facilitate fire’s ignition (depending on
the model). One spray paint can to repair possible scratches. One small rake in order to poke the fire and move the embers (according

EN

to the models). The smoke baffle-plate (according to the models).

- Inside the ash pan: “cold hands” handle can be found in Oxford model. All the others models don’t have this kind of handle.

The equipment is made of several elements of steel sheets welded, with different thickness, and, depending on the model, pieces of cast
iron or vermiculite (refractory material that covers the walls). It also has a panoramic door with vitro ceramic glass (resistant up to 750ºC) and
ceramic cord for the air tightness of the combustion chamber.

Heating is produced by:
a. Convection: because the air passes through the double hood, the stove gives off heat.
b. Radiation: through the vitro ceramic glass and the body the heat is irradiated towards the environment.
c. Forced convection (only models with turbine): thanks to the turbine located at the bottom of the appliance, the air is sucked at room

temperature and returned to the room at a higher temperature.

The models have some settings for a perfect combustion control:

D1

The secondary air intake favours the carbon that was not burnt during the first combustion can suffer a post-combustion. This increases the

efficiency and assures that the glass keeps clean.

placed on the right and its movement is made from inside towards outside. The movement towards outside means more air entry.

The primary air intake controls the air that passes through the ash pan and
the grate towards the fuel. The primary air is necessary for the combustion
process.
The ash pan should be emptied frequently so that the ash does not block the
primary air intake for the combustion. Also, the primary air rekindles the fire.

- The models Sydney, Louvre, Dover, Preston, Derby and Bury have this
air intake control under the door. This control is placed on the left and the
movement is from inside to outside and vice versa. The operation to outside
means a greater entry of air (see drawing D1).

- On the models Croacia, Versalles, Valencia, Gijón, Gijón-H, Lerma and

D3D2

D5

Lerma-H, the primary air regulation is located at

D4

the bottom under the door and its movement is
performed from left to right. The right side right
implies greater air intake,

- In the model Fígaro, the regulation of this
air entry is in the right side. It corresponds to the
regulation placed on the right and its movement is
made from inside towards outside. The movement
towards outside means more air entry

- In all the other models, the control is placed
at the bottom of the door or at the ash pan (see

drawing D2, D3 and D4).

D6

- The models Sydney, Louvre and Dover have
this air intake control under the door. This control is
placed on the right and the movement is from inside
to outside and vice versa. The operation to outside
increase the air input (see drawing D5).

- The models Monza, Sena Plus, Etna, Ordesa,
Bremen, Preston, Derby, Bury, Croacia, Versalles,
Valencia, Gijón, Gijón-H, Lerma, Lerma-H and
Altea have this control on the top of the combustion
chamber door (see drawing D6).
In the model Fígaro, the regulation of this air entry
is in the right side. It corresponds to the regulation

INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS STOVES

20

- There are many others models such as Avila, Tudela, Sintra, Suiza, Suiza-Inox, Sena Plus, Soria and Oxford whose entry of air exists

but it is not adjustable (see drawing D7).

D7

Double combustion

Some models of the stoves include a double combustion. With this system we
get a second preheated entry air inside the combustion chamber. This allows a
second combustion of the not burnt gases in the first combustion that achieves
a high performance efficiency, a great fuel saving and reductions in pollutant
emissions.

- The models Sydney, Louvre, Preston, Derby and Bury have this air
intake control for the double combustion under the door, which is the
same than the secondary air intake control. This control is placed on the
right and the movement is from inside to outside and vice versa. The
operation to outside increase the air input (see drawing D8).

- There are many others models such as Ávila, Tudela, Vitoria, Soria,

D9

Oxford, Etna, Croacia, Versalles, Valencia, Gijón, Gijón-H, Lerma, Lerma-H
and Ordesa whose entry of preheated air exists but it is not adjustable. The
air supply is usually made by little drillings on the back wall of the combustion
chamber (see drawing D9).

Triple combustion

In the model Dover and Fígaro, the regulation is located under the door to
the right, both the double and triple combustion. With this regulation open
(regulation completely extracted, outside), it is possible to introduce hot
oxygen twice into the combustion chamber, thanks to itineraries designed by

calorific power of the wood, while reduces the most harmful emissions as well as the consumption of wood.

Baffle plate

The baffle plate is a fundamental part for the proper operation of the stove. It must be placed in the right position and the stove must not be
used without the baffle plate. This would invalidate the warranty.

The combustion is not always stable. In fact, it can be affected by the weather conditions or the outside temperature. This modifies the draw
of the chimney. For this reason, our stoves have a baffle plate (or double baffle plate)

WARNING!
The lack of the baffle plate causes an excessive draw. This causes a fast combustion, excessive wood consumption and
the overheating of the equipment.

Due to safety reasons during the transport, in some models, the baffle plate is not assembled. You will find it inside the combustion chamber.
To place it properly, follow the next steps:

Frontal models: Corner models :

Bronpi. This combustion process designed by Bronpi makes the most of the

In models Louvre, Sydney, Fígaro and Dover the baffle plate must be rested on the
side supports of the combustion chamber and you have to fit on the groove where
the air of the double combustion goes off (see drawing D12).
NOTE: some models with oven does not have a baffle plate.

“Cold hands” handle

(Only model Oxford)
Inside the ash pan you will find the “cold hands” handle used open the door. To
place it properly, it is necessary to introduce it from top to bottom and, later, rotate
it (see drawing D13). Remove the handle when the stove is switched on.

Roasting grille

Some stoves includes a roasting grille as an accessory (see drawing D14). In order to avoid the damage of the roasting grille, it is
recommended to extract it outside when it is not being used.
The models Sydney, Louvre, Dover, Oxford, Etna, Ordesa, Bremen, Preston, Derby, Bury and Altea do not include this grille.
In the models Croacia, Versalles, Valencia, Sena Plus, Gijón, Gijón-H, Lerma and Lerma-H, this grill is adjustable in two heights depending on
the slot of the lateral guide that you use.

EN

D13

Oven

Some models include on the top of the stove an oven with a hermetic firing chamber. The base of the oven is made of refractory brick (it
absorbs heat and irradiates it). Heating is produced when the smoke passes through the walls of the oven. On the roof of the oven there is
one pipe that connects the cooking chamber with the smoke outlet in order to remove the gas generated inside the oven.

The oven has the following components:

- Thermometer it is disassembled. To install it, it is necessary to
introduce the sheath through the hole of the door and, then, put the
nut (see drawing D15).

- NOTE: Tudela, Valencia and Fígaro models includes a bimetallic
thermometer placed on the glass of the oven. To install it, it is
necessary to introduce the thermometer through the hole of the door
and, then, put the rubber and the nut on the backside (see drawing

D16).

D16

D12

D14

D15

WARNING!! The thermometer shows the cooking temperature of the oven, it never shows the combustion chamber
temperature.

The maximum cooking temperature for the oven is 200-230ºC. If the thermometer shows that the oven reaches a higher temperature, this
means that the equipment has been overloaded and this will invalidate the warranty.

- Tray. It is made of stainless steel. It can be adjustable in different levels according to the slot that we use. In order to avoid the damage
of the tray, it is recommended to extract it outside the oven when it is not being used (except in the Figaro model that only has one
height). There are some models that, due to the measures of the oven, it is not possible to place this tray and, therefore, they are not
included such as models Tudela, Sintra Lerma-H and Gijón-H (except if optionally the Inox Kit is purchased for this model, where it
would include the tray). NOTE: the Figaro model incorporates as standard a grill.

- Refractory bricks or ceramic pieces. They are placed on the base of the oven. Their purpose is to absorb heat and irradiate it.

Kitchen

The Valencia model incorporates in the top part a hob with a lid for cooking. Heating is produced by
direct heat transfer.
The kitchen has a vitrified plate where you can directly place a kitchen pan for cooking the food. There,
you will find two of these plates (see drawing D17).

D18

In the models Oxford, Preston, Derby, Bury and Ordesa, to make the change of the collar
you have to follow the next steps:

4. First of all, remove the baffle plate.

5. Remove the vermiculite pieces (only model Oxford).

6. Later, screw out the cover and the collar, change their position and screw them

again in the new position (see drawing D19).

In any case, you can choose the fan speed by the regulator.

• TURBINE CONNECTION:
In the right back side of the stove you will find the cable that
connects to the electricity network.
It is advisable do not cut it in the entire length because this
section is useful when needed by changes in electrical
components inside.
It is obligated the correct connection of the installation to
earth connection.

The installation of the system might be done by skilled
labour and qualified under the current rules.

• REPLACEMENT OF THE TURBINE:

The replacement of any electrical component will be done
by the front of the stove. With this you do not have uninstall
the stove and you have to follow the next steps (see
drawing D21).

The models Sydney-T and Louvre have a 270 m3/h fan to improve
the heat distribution by the ventilation.
The start and the control of the ventilation is made by the
regulator knob placed on the right back side of the stove (see
drawing D20).

This regulator has the following functions:

- OFF position: the fan is turned off when there is no combustion inside the chamber due to the stove is provided

with a thermostat that controls the fan according to the temperature of the stove.

- ON position: the fan is turned on although there is no combustion inside the chamber.

Rear or top

- In order to remove the fan you will have to elevate it and release it from its fixation to the stove.

- Disconnect and replace the damaged element and reattach everything such as before.

• OUTSIDE AIR INTAKE

The models Louvre, Sydney and Dover have the choice to take the primary and secondary entry air from
an adjacent room (or even from outside of the house) or the same room where the stove is installed.
The primary air intake of these models is on the rear side of the stove, so in case that the stove is not
connected with the outside it will be necessary a minimum distance of 6-8 cm to have an enough air
supply to the combustion. In the case you choose the primary air intake from the outside or an adjacent
room it will be enough connecting this entry by a 120 mm diameter driving with the chosen location.
Note that a driving too long or with deviations (elbows), cause a big lost of charge, therefore could cause
some combustion problems. (See drawing D22).

2.1.2. MONZA

The stove Monza has on the top two rings to be used as a plate warmer. These rings should
be handled with the accessory included for this purpose (see drawing D23 and D24).

EN

The worktop has in both sides two removable handles made in stainless steel.
The model Vitro has another handle in the front of the worktop.

2.1.3. OXFORD

The rotating cast is made in two parts: the iron grate and the handle in stainless steel. To
place the grate follow the next steps:

1. First of all, we must introduce the rod by the hole on the front of the
stove.

2. Place the grate with an approximated angle of 45º to introduce the
hook of the rod on the hole of the grate.

3. Later, place the grate over the firebox (see drawing D25).

The firebox is removable too. To remove it follow the next steps:

1. Remove the vermiculite pieces (only model Oxford).

2. Remove the iron grate and the handle.

3. Finally turn the firebox approximately 45º to get it out by the door of
the stove (see drawing D26).

The model Oxford also includes a handle with a double
function: remove the ash pan and apply over the pull
of the rotating cast doing possible to move it avoiding
burnings (see drawing D27).

2.1.5. ETNA AND DERBY 9 / DERBY 14

The models Etna, Derby 9 and Derby 14 have a door on the right side whose function is to load fuel (see drawing D30).
In the Etna stove, it is included a handle to remove the ash pan which is hidden behind the lower door (see drawing D31).
In the model Etna the handle of the side door is type “cold hands”, it is advisable to remove the handle in order to avoid its heating and
deterioration.

D30

2.1.6. DOVER

The Dover model has on the top, between the combustion chamber and the top (see
drawing D32), a ceramic thermal storage which allows the stove to radiate heat for a

longer time (even when the stove is switched off), increasing the thermal inertia of the
stove.
For its replacement, it is necessary to remove the top of the stove, so you have to remove
the 4 screws located on the top of the oven (see drawing D33) and then you will be able
to extract this ceramic piece or even increase the number of them, in order to raise the
power of thermal radiation (max 4 pieces).

2.1.7. VALENCIA

This model has the smoke outlet in the rear (see drawing D34). In order to connect it, it will be
enough to connect to the outlet of the stove, a bend of 90° and then the rest of the extraction
pipes, always in vertical sections. Remember that horizontal pipe sections are not allowed.
It has a safety pin, so that when you place it in the top right side of your stove we can avoid a
fortuitous closure of the top of the stove, while using the “kitchen”. (see drawing D35)

D34

This model can be installed on the outside of the house. It has two wheels to place it anywhere you want and detachable handles that fit in
the back of the stove, to move it (see drawing D36).
For safety and comfort, we recommend moving the stove while it is cold and without the smoke pipe connected or installed.

2.1.8. CROACIA-T

This model of stove is equipped with a turbine of 225 m3/h suitable to improve the distribution of the heat through
the air circulation of the environment.
The air circulation can be regulated by a switch of three positions located in the bottom right side (see drawing

EN

D37).

These three positions have the following functions:

- Position 0: tThe turbine will remain off even if there is combustion inside the fireplace, so you have to
position the switch in the position 1 or 2 if you want the turbine to operate.

- Position 1: the turbine runs continuously at slow speed.

- Position 2: the turbine runs continuously at fast speed.

TURBINE CONNECTION

On the right rear of the stove we can find the conductor that connects to the grid (see drawing
D38).

It is advisable not to cut it in its length completely since this section is useful when replacing
electrical components. The correct connection to the ground system is essential.
Installation of the appliance must be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with the
current regulations of the sector.

TURBINE REPLACEMENT

In case of replacement of one of the electrical components, the replacement operation will be
carried out by removing 4 screws from the bottom, as shown in the drawing. Disconnect and
replace the damaged item and reassemble everything the way was assembled.

2.1.9. CROACIA (WITHOUT TURBINE)

Outdoor air intake

In the models of the Croacia series, it is possible to choose that the entrance of primary air comes from a contiguous place or even from
outside of the house.
In the case of providing air from outside or from a contiguous place, you must purchase the optional kit (KIT-AIR1) for external air intake
(airtight). Simply connect the KIT with a 100 mm diameter pipe to the chosen place. Keep in mind that a too long pipe or with too many
deviations (elbows), far from benefiting the intake of air, causes a great loss of load and, therefore, can cause combustion problems.
Do not forget that this external air intake is independent and different from the input needed for the ventilation unit (turbine).

The procedure for placing the
optional external air intake kit is
as follows (see drawing D39):

- At the bottom, under the
top, you will find 4 screws
that are threaded.

- Remove the 4 screws.

- Place the kit as shown in
the drawing.

- Replace the 4 screws
previously removed.

- Connect the air intake to
the exterior or selected
environment through a
100 mm diameter pipe.

3. INSTALLATION AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The way of installing the stove will affect the safety and the proper operation. For this reason, it is recommendable that the installation is
carried out by people who are qualified and informed about the compliance with the installation and safety norms. If a stove is not properly
installed it may cause serious damage.
Before the installation, follow the next verifications:

EN

• Make sure that the floor can sustain the weight of the equipment and make a proper isolation in the case that it is made of flammable
material (wood) or a material that can be affected by a thermal shock (plaster cast, for example).

• If the equipment is installed on a floor which is not completely refractory or inflammable such as parquet, carpet, etc, it is necessary
to replace this part or introduce a fire-resistant base so that it protrudes out the fireplace 30 cm. Example of materials include steel
flooring, glass base or any other type of fire-resistant material.

• Make sure that there is proper ventilation in the place where it is installed (air intake) (see section 5 of the manual).

• Avoid the installation in places where there are collective ventilation pipes, hoods with or without extractor, B type gas equipments,
heat pumps or equipments that can cause that the draw of the stove is not good if they are used at the same time.

• Make sure that the smoke duct and the pipes used for the chimney are suitable for the operation of the stove.

• We recommend that you call your fitter in order to check both the chimney as well as the air flow for the combustion.

• This product can be installed near the walls as long as the they comply with the following requirements:

• The fitter must assure that the wall is completely made of brick masonry, thermo-clay block, concrete, bricks, etc, and that it is coated
by materials that can support high temperature.Therefore, for any other type of material (drywall, wood, non-ceramic glass, etc), the
fitter must provide sufficient insulation or keep a minimum safety distance to the wall of 80-100 cm.

• Keep any flammable or heat sensitive materials (furniture, curtains, and clothing) at a minimum distance of about 100cm, including the
area in front of the loading door. Measurements below the minimum distances should not be used.

3.1. SAFETY MEASURES

During the installation of the equipment, there are risks to be taken into account, so you should follow the next safety measures:

a. Do not place flammable objects above.
b. Do not place the stove near combustible walls.
c. The stove should only be used when the ash pan is inserted.
d. It is recommended to install carbon monoxide detector (CO) in the room where the equipment is installed.
e. Use the glove included for opening and closing the door as well as manipulating the controls as these can be very hot.
f. Solid combustion residues (ashes) should be collected in an airtight container and resistant to fire.
g. The appliance should never be turned on in the presence of emission of gases or vapours (e.g., linoleum glue, gasoline, etc).
h. Do not place nearby flammable materials.

WARNING!!
It is noted that both the stove and the glass get very hot and should not be touched.

3.2. INTERVENTION IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

If there is fire in the stove or the flue:

a) Close the loading door.
b) Close primary and secondary air intakes.
c) Put the fire out by using carbon dioxide extinguishers (CO2 powder).
d) Request for the immediate intervention of the fire-fighters.

DO NOT PUT THE FIRE OFF WITH WATER.

WARNING:
The manufacturer declines any responsibility for the malfunction of an installation not subject to the requirements of these
instructions or the use of additional products not appropriate.

4. CHIMNEY

The chimney is of basic importance in the proper functioning of the stove and primarily has two functions:

- Evacuate the smoke and the gas safely out of the house.

- Provide sufficient draft to the stove in order to keep the fire.

INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS STOVES

28

Therefore, it is essential that it is made perfectly and that it is subjected to maintenance operations in order to keep it in good condition
(many of the claims due to malfunctioning reasons refer exclusively to a bad draft). The chimney can be made of masonry or metallic pipe
compound.
It is necessary to comply with the following requirements for the proper operation of the stove:

• The interior section must be perfectly circular.

• It must be thermally insulated along its entire length in order to prevent condensation (the smoke is liquefied by heat shock) and even
more if the installation is outside the house.

• If we use metallic pipe for the installation outside the house, it is compulsory to use thermal insulated pipe. It consist of two concentric
pipes and, between them, there is a thermal insulator. Moreover, we will avoid condensation problems.

• It should not have bottlenecks (enlargements or reductions) and it must be vertical with deviations not higher that 45º.

• Do not use horizontal sections.

• If it has been used previously, it must be clean.

• Respect the technical data of the instructions manual.

** For the fitter

The optimum draft for the stoves vary between 12+/-2 Pa (1.0–1.4 mm water column). We recommend checking the technical information of
the product.
A lower value causes a bad combustion causing carbonic deposits and excessive smoke generation, having leaks and, even worse, an
increase of the temperature that could damage the structural components of the stove, while a higher value leads to a too rapid combustion
with the heat dispersion through the flue.
Materials that are prohibited for the chimney and, therefore, damage the proper functioning of the equipment are: fibre cement, galvanized
steel (at least in the first few meters) and rough and porous interior surfaces. drawing D46 shows some examples of solution.

(1) Stainless steel AISI 316 chimney with double insulated
chamber and material resistant up to 400°C. Efficiency

100% optimum.

(2) Traditional clay chimney with square section and
holes. Efficiency 80% optimum.

(3) Chimney with refractory material and double
insulated chamber and exterior coating made of
lightweight concrete. Efficiency 100% optimum.

(4) Avoid chimneys with rectangular interior section
different to the one of the drawing. Efficiency 40% poor.
Not recommended

EN

D47

D46

All stoves that send smoke to the exterior should have their own chimney.

Never use the same chimney for several equipments at the
same time (see drawing D47).

The minimum diameter must be 4 dm2 (for example, 20 x 20 cm) for
stoves with a diameter below 200 mm or 6.25 dm2 (for example, 25 x 25
cm) for equipments with a diameter higher than 200 mm.

A big section of the chimney (for example, diameter of the pipe superior
to the one recommended) may results in a volume too large to be heated
and, therefore, it can cause difficulties for the proper operation of the
equipment. In order to avoid this problem, it is necessary to enclose
the chimney in its entire length. However, a small section (for example,
diameter of the pipe inferior to the one recommended) may cause a
reduction of the draft.

(1) In the case that there are chimneys placed side by side,
one of them must exceed to the other at least 50 cm in order
to avoid pressure movements among them

The flue must be away from flammable or combustible materials through an appropriate insulation or an air chamber. In the case that they

EN

pass through flammable materials compounds, they should be eliminated.
Inside, it is forbidden that there are pipes of installations or air abduction channels. It is also prohibited to do mobile or fixed openings for
connecting other different equipments.
If we use metallic pipes inside a masonry duct, it is essential that they are well insulated and with appropriate materials (insulating fibre
coatings) in order to avoid the deterioration of the masonry or the interior coating.

4.1. CONNECTION OF THE STOVE TO THE CHIMNEY

The connection to the stove for the smoke evacuation must be done with rigid aluminized steel pipes or stainless steel pipes.

It is forbidden the use of flexible metallic pipes or fibre cement pipes because they damage the safety of the connection because they
are subject to jerks and breaks, which causes smoke looses.

The chimney must be fixed hermetical to the smoke outlet of the stove. It should be rectilinear and with a material that supports high
temperatures (minimum 400ºC). It can have a maximum inclination of 45° whereby excessive deposits of condensation produced in the initial
stages of ignition and / or excessive soot formation is avoided. Moreover, it avoids the slowing down of the smoke when it comes out.
The lack of sealing of the connection may cause the malfunction of the equipment.
The internal diameter of the connection pipe should correspond to the external diameter of the chimney of the equipment. This service is
assured by the pipes complying with DIN 1298.

4.2. CHIMNEY COWL

The chimney draft also depends on the chimney cowl.
The chimney cowl should assure the smoke discharge even during windy days, having into account that it must exceed the top of the roof
(drawing D50).

(1) Industrial chimney of
prefabricated elements
that allow a good smoke
extraction.

(1) The chimney can’t have obstacles around 10 m towards
walls or trees. Otherwise, raise it at least 1 m above the
obstacle.
The chimney must exceed the top of the roof at least 1 m.

(2) Traditional chimney. The
proper exit section must be,
at least, two times the interior
section of the chimney, the best
is 2.5 times

3) Chimney with interior cone
smoke deflector.

D50

The chimney cowl must comply with the following requirements:

• It must have the same interior section of the stove.

• It must have an usable exit section that is two times the one of the interior of the chimney.

• It must be constructed so that the rain, snow or any other objet do not enter inside.

• It must be easily accessible in order to do servicing and cleaning tasks.

It the chimney cowl is metallic, due to its own design adapted to the diameter of the pipe, the smoke discharge is assured. There are different
models of metallic chimney cowl, fixed, anti-return, and rotary or extractor.

5. OUTSIDE AIR INTAKE

For the proper operation of the stove, it is essential that there is air enough for the combustion and re/oxygenation of the environment where it
is installed. In the case of houses built under the requirements of “energy efficiency” with a great degree of air tightness, it is possible that the
air intake is not guaranteed *the fitter must assure compliance with the Technical Building Code. This means that the air must be able to move
for the combustion through some openings connected to the exterior, even when doors and windows are closed. Moreover, it must comply
with the following requirements:

INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS STOVES

30

• It must be placed in so that it cannot be obstructed.

• It must be connected to the environment where the equipment is installed and it must be protected by a grate.

• The minimum area of the outlet should not be less than 100 cm2. Check regulations on this issue.

• When the air flow comes through openings that are connected to the exterior of adjacent environments, it is important to avoid air
intakes in connection with garages, kitchens, toilets, etc.

6. FUELS ALLOWED/NOT ALLOWED

The fuel allowed is wood. Use only dry firewood (max. moisture content 20%, which corresponds to firewood that was cut two years ago). The
length of the logs will depend on the model (you can check the technical features of each model in our web site www.bronpi.com).
Compressed wood briquettes must be used carefully in order to avoid harmful overheating of the equipment because they have a high
calorific power.
The wood used as fuel must be stored in a dry place. Damp firewood has approximately 60% of water. Therefore, it is not suitable to be
burnt because it makes the ignition more difficult due to the fact that the heats is used to vaporize the water. Moreover, the moisture content
has also the disadvantage that, when the temperature is lower, the water condense in the fireplace and the chimney. This causes the soot
accumulation and condensation, with the consequent risk of fire.

Among others, it is not allowed to use> coal, barks and panels, damp firewood or with paint or plastic materials. In these
cases, the warranty of the stove shall terminate. It is forbidden to use waste and it would damage the equipment.
Paper and cardboard should only be used during the ignition.

Below is an instructions table about the type of firewood and the quality for the combustion.

TYPE OF WOOD QUALITY

HOLM OAK OPTIMAL
ASH TREE VERY GOOD
BIRCH TREE GOOD
ELM TREE GOOD
BEECH GOOD
WILLOW NOT ENOUGH
FIR TREE NOT ENOUGH
WILD PINE INSUFFICIENT
POPLAR INSUFFICIENT

MULTIFUEL MODELS

The Oxford, Etna and Ordesa models are MULTIFUEL models and only these models can be used with mineral carbon as a fuel. You can use
some of the two fuels without any change in your stove.

7. STARTUP (FIRST IGNITIONS)

In order to ignite the fire, we recommend using small wood strips with paper or other means such as fire starters.
It is forbidden to use liquid substances such as alcohol, gasoline, petroleum or similar products.

WARNING!! At the beginning, it is possible that you note smoke or smell which are typically produced when metals are
subject to high temperatures or when the paint is still fresh.
Never ignite the equipment when there are combustible gases in the environment.

In order to do a proper start-up of the products treated with paints used at high temperatures, it is important to consider the following
conditions:

• The materials of the products are not homogenous due to the fact that there are cast-iron parts and steel parts.

• The temperature of the product-s body is not uniform: among different zones there are variable temperatures between 300°C and
500°C.

• During its lifetime, the product is subject to ignitions stoppages even in the same day, as well as intensive use or not use depending
on the season.

• The equipment, at the beginning, must be subject to different start-up cycles so that all materials and the paint can complete different
elastic expansions.

Therefore, it is important to adopt these measures during the ignition phase:

1. Assure that there is a good air refill in the place where the equipment is installed.

2. During the 4 o 5 first ignitions, do not load excessively the combustion chamber and keep the stove lit during at least 6-10 hours
continuously.

3. Then, load it more, respecting the recommended load and try to leave the fireplace lit the maximum time as possible, trying to avoid
short ignition periods.

4. During the first ignitions, you should not place any object on the equipment and, in particular, on lacquered surfaces. Lacquered
surfaces should not be touched while the equipment is heated.

8. IGNITION AND NORMAL OPERATION

In order to do a good ignition of the stove, it is necessary to follow the next steps:
a. Open the door. Open completely the regulator of the primary air intake and the regulator of the secondary air intake (in adjustable

models) (see section. 2).

b. Insert a fire starter or a paper ball and some wood splinters into the chamber.
c. Light the paper or the splinter. Close the door slowly and leave it half-open 10 or 15 minutes while the glass is heated.

EN

INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS STOVES

31

d. When there is flame enough, open the door slowly in order to avoid smoke returns and load the fireplace with dry wood logs. Close the

door slowly.

e. When the logs are lit, use the regulators located on the frontal part (primary and secondary air intake) in order to control the heat

emission of the stove. These regulators should be opened according to the heating needs. The best combustion (with minimum
emissions) is reached when the main part of the air for the combustion passes through the secondary air regulator.

In addition to the air regulation for the combustion, the draw also affects the intensity of the combustion and the heating performance of your
equipment. A good draft of the stove needs a reduced regulation of the air for the combustion, while a lack of draft needs a good regulation
of the air for the combustion.

Due to safety reasons, the door must remain closed when the fireplace is being used. You should only open the door for loading the
fuel. In order to refill the fuel, open the door slowly, open the primary air intake, introduce the wood and close the door. After 3-5 minutes,

return to the combustion recommended regulation.

Do not overload the equipment (see maximum fuel load). Too much fuel and too much air for the combustion can cause the
overheating and, therefore, damage the equipment. The non-compliance of this rule will invalidate the warranty.

9. SERVICING AND CARE

EN

The stove, the chimney and, in general, the whole installation, must be cleaned completely at least once a year or when necessary.

WARNING!! Maintenance and servicing operations must be done when the stove is cold.
These tasks are not covered by the warranty.

9.1. CLEANING THE CHIMNEY

When the wood is burnt slowly, it produces tars and other organic vapours that combined with the humidity they create the creosote (soot).
An excessive accumulation of soot may cause problems in the smoke outlet and even the smoke duct may suffer a fire. A chimney sweep
should perform this task and, at the same time, examine the smoke duct. During the cleaning tasks, it is necessary to remove the ash pan,
the grille and the smoke baffle plate in order to makes easier the fall of the soot.
It is recommended to use anti-soot envelopes during the operation of the stove at least once a week. These envelopes are placed directly on
the fire and you can buy them in the same Bronpi distributor where you bought your stove.

9.2. CLEANING THE GLASS

IMPORTANT:
Clean the glass only when it is cold in order to avoid its explosion.
You can use specific products such as vitro ceramic-cleaning products. Do not use aggressive or abrasive products that stain the
glass.

You can find Bronpi vitro ceramic-cleaning product in the same Bronpi distributor where you bought your stove.

BREAKAGE OF GLASSES: the glasses, as they are vitro ceramic, resist until 750ºC and they are not subject to thermal shocks. The
breakage can only be caused by mechanical shocks (crashes or violent closing of the door, etc). Therefore, its replacement is not
included in the warranty.

9.3. CLEANING THE ASH

All stoves have an ash pan for the ash collection.
We recommend emptying the ash pan regularly in order to avoid that it is full completely so that the grille does not overheat. Moreover, we
recommend leaving 2-3 cm of ash on the base.

9.4. SPECIFICATIONS FOR MODELS WITH OVEN

(Only models Suiza and Suiza-Inox)

Over time and with the use, the stoves with oven can create soot deposits
in the external parts of the oven. These deposits can obstruct the draw and
cause a malfunction of the stove. For this reason, it is important to remove
them through a register that is hidden under the logo of the oven door. It is
necessary to unscrew the logo and use the hole in order to proceed with the
cleaning (see drawing D51).

When you are cleaning the oven, please be careful and do not
use aggressive products because they can wear down the paint and too much
water can oxidise it.

In the model Fígaro the cleaning registers (upper and lower) are hidden under the stainless

steel pieces of the oven. In order to clean them, it is necessary to remove these pieces, and
then unscrew the covers of the registers (see drawing D52).

D51

In the model Suiza-Inox and Gijón-H, the interior of the cooking chamber of the oven is composed of removable stainless steel parts (2
guides, top and back). Therefore, in order to clean it, these parts can be removed by following these steps (see drawing D53):

- Remove the top, sliding it outwards.

- Extract the side guides, which are placed on 4 supports. To detach them, we must pull up the guide and then pull it.

- Finally, remove the rear which is placed on 2 supports.

9.5. EXTERNAL CLEANING

Do not clean the external surface of the stove with water or abrasive products because they may damage the stove. Use a
feather duster or a rag a bit wet.

D53

10. SEASONAL STOPPAGES

After cleaning the chimney and the stove by removing the ash and other residues, close all doors and regulators.
It is recommended to clean the chimney at least once a year. Meanwhile, check the joints because if they are not in good condition (they do
not adjust to the door), they do not guarantee the proper operation of the stove! For this reason, it would be necessary to change them. You
can find this spare part in the same Bronpi distributor where you bought your stove.
If there is humidity in the place where the stove is installed, put absorbent salts inside the equipment. Protect the internal parts with neutral
vaseline in order to keep the appearance along the time.
