INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER 8

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE

INSTALLER

2.1. Warning to installers

All local and national regulations, including all those referring to national and European standards, must be observed when installing the appliance.

Installation of the appliance must be performed by an authorised installer.

An incorrectly installed appliance may lead to serious incidents (fires, creation of harmful gases, deterioration of nearby fixtures, etc.).

Lacunza’s liability is limited to the

supply of the material and does not include installation of the appliance.

2.2. Room for installation

2.2.1. Ventilation of the room

The appliance needs to consume oxygen (air) in order to work properly. Ensure a suitable air supply in the room in which the appliance is fitted. This quantity of oxygen is additional to the oxygen that we need in order to breathe (air renewal).

In order to ensure the high quality of the air you breathe and to avoid potential accidents resulting from high concentrations of the gases produced by combustion (mainly carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide), it is absolutely crucial to ensure the suitable renewal of the air in the room in which the appliance is fitted.

the room must always have at least two permanent grilles or openings to the exterior in order to renew the air (one for intake and the other for extraction).

For the installation of its appliances, Lacunza recommends an additional section for these openings. One of these two grilles must be situated high up in the room (at

less than 30 cm from the ceiling) and the other one low down (at less than 30 cm from the floor). Both grilles must open outdoors in order to renew the air in the room with fresh air.

The minimum section that each of these grilles must have depends on the nominal output of the appliance in accordance with the following table:

Figure No.5 - Guideline indications for

ventilation grilles

In the case of appliances on which it is possible to pipe combustion air in from outdoors, the specifications described in the Table above are not necessary.

The appliance must always be used with the door(s) closed.

In rooms equipped with Controlled Mechanical Ventilation, the system extracts and renews the ambient air; in such cases, the room is at slightly low

pressure and it is necessary to install a nonclosable outside-air inlet with a section of at least 90 cm².

2.2.2. Location of the appliance in the room

Choose a location in the room which favours good hot-air distribution by convection and radiation.

2.3. Installation of the appliance

2.3.1. Floor

Make sure that the base can withstand the total constructed weight of the appliance and its casing.

When the floor surface (base) is combustible, fit suitable insulation.

2.3.2. Safety distances

Be sure to respect the appliance installation distances from combustible materials. Looking at the appliance headon:

Bear in mind that it may even be necessary to protect non-combustible material in order to prevent breakage, deformation, etc., as a result of overheating if the non-combustible material is not designed to withstand high temperatures.

2.3.3. Checks before lighting for the first time

• Make sure that the glass is not

broken or damaged.

• Make sure that the flueway is

not obstructed with packing or loose parts.

• Make sure that the airtight

joints on the flue circuit are in perfect condition.

• Make sure that the doors close

properly.

• Make sure that all moving parts

are fitted in place.

• Check that the deflector is fitted

properly.

2.3.4. Height adjustment and levelling the appliance

The appliance must be perfectly level, horizontally and vertically, both at the front and on the sides (use a spirit level).

2.3.5. Connection to the flue

The appliance must be connected to the chimney flue using special piping designed to resist the products of combustion (e.g. stainless steel, enamelled steel, etc.).

To connect the flue to the socket flange, insert the piping inside the flange and seal the joint with fire sealant or fire cement to make it completely airtight.

The installer must ensure that the pipe connected to the appliance is well secured and there is no chance of it coming free from its housing (e.g. as a result of dilatation due to temperature, etc.).

On this appliance, the flue socket can be fitted on top of the appliance.

2.3.6. Piping air to other rooms

It is possible to pipe some of the heat generated to other rooms in the house using the appliance. This does not mean that the appliance works more efficiently, but it does mean that the heat it creates is distributed better. For this purpose, in the back surface of the appliance there are 2 potential hot-air outlets with diameters of

Page 11

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER 10

120mm. Pipes can be fitted from these outlets to other rooms. If you intend to do this, bear the following points in mind.

• The air ducts must always be

heat insulated and smooth inside (not corrugated).

• The pipes must always have an

upward slant to facilitate movement by air density.

• On routes with a lot of load loss

(a lot of retention), air movement can be forced along the ducts using a motor or fan, provided that it is designed to withstand such temperature conditions.

Bear in mind that air ducts mean that noise travels more easily from one room to another.

The following table shows the heat output of the air from the hot-air outlets with the appliance working at Nominal Heat Output:

(kW)

3.3

Figure No.6 - Table showing heat output of the

air leaving the appliance

Note: The values shown in the above table were measured at the appliance output point and based on tests performed

at nominal heat output and maximum fan speed.

All hot-air ducts lose heat, meaning that the heat output obtained at the end of piping always depends on its design.

2.3.7. Piping air to the firebox

On this model, it is possible to pipe air to the appliance for combustion straight from outdoors. We recommend that, if possible, air be drawn from outdoors for combustion via a non-closable pipe with a diameter of 120mm leading to the nozzle on the bottom-front of the appliance. This is the best option because it means that draughts are not created in and oxygen is not consumed from the room in which the appliance is fitted. A further advantage is that there is no danger of downdraught which may hinder the correct updraught of the appliance when an extractor or mechanical ventilation appliance is used in the same room as the central-heating appliance or in another one alongside it.

If this is not possible, ensure that the appliance receives air for combustion via the relevant grille at the bottom of the hood (in addition to the hood ventilation grilles).

Important: if the appliance is not installed

with piped air input, DO NOT remove the

part at the rear which ensures the right distance between the rear wall and the

appliance. This must be more than 3 cm

Page 12

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER 11

Figure No.7 - Separation between the appliance

and the rear wall

If we want to duct the combustion air intake from the outside, it can be connected to the rear part of the appliance (factory setting) or to the lower part of the appliance.

Figure No.8 - Combustion air intake ducted

from the rear part (B). Lower intake (A) closed.

Figure No.9 - Combustion air intake ducted

from the lower part (A). Rear intake (B) closed.

If we want to duct the combustion air intake from the lower part, we need to unscrew the circular cover from the lower part (A) and screw it in the rear part (B).

2.3.7.1. Combustion-air intake and hot-air

output installation options

Different installation systems need to be borne in mind depending on the source of combustion air (air from outdoors or from inside the room in which the appliance is fitted) and the hot-air output system (air output by natural convection or by forced convection involving a fan) to ensure that the appliance works properly. There now follows a description and image of each of these options:

A: Lower ductable combustion air intake (Ø120mm) B: Rear ductable combustion air intake (Ø120mm) C: Rear ductable hot air outlets (Ø120mm)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER 14

2.4. Chimney flue

The chimney flue must comply with present standards on the installation of chimneys.

In rooms equipped with Controlled Mechanical Ventilation, the ventilation outlet must never be connected to the flue.

The appliance must always have its own chimney flue, never sharing a chimney flue with another appliance.

2.4.1. Type of flue

The flue must be made of special material designed to resist the products of combustion (e.g. stainless steel, enamelled steel, etc.).

Central-heating appliances (with back boiler) require a double-sleeve flue, insulated throughout the installation, even inside the building. This prevents the gases from cooling down too much and, consequently, prevents downdraughts, condensation and low top surface and oven temperatures on kitchen stoves.

If the chimney is constructed, then it is necessary to pipe and insulate it to ensure correct updraught.

The diameter of the pipe must be the same as the diameter of the flue socket on the appliance over its entire length in order to ensure correct operation.

The flue must prevent the entry of rainwater.

The flue must be clean and airtight over its entire length.

The flue must be at least 6m tall and the chimney cap must not hinder the free release of gases.

If the flue tends to suffer from downdraught, then it is necessary to fit an effective anti-downdraught cowl, a static

cowl or a smoke extraction fan, or reshape the chimney.

Never make 90º bends due to the great loss of draught they cause, and reduce 45º bends down to an absolute minimum. Each 45º bend is equivalent to a 0.5m reduction in flue length. Horizontal flue sections should not be installed because they cut updraught a great deal.

If the flue draws at more than 20 Pa on 12Pa appliances, then an effective damper must be fitted on the flueway. This damper must be visible and accessible.

The chimney flue must not rest on the appliance.

Bear in mind that high temperatures may be reached in the flue, meaning that it is essential that insulation be enhanced in sections in which combustible material is present (wooden beams, furniture, etc.). It may even be necessary to protect noncombustible material in order to prevent breakage, deformation, etc., as a result of overheating if the material is not designed to withstand high temperatures.

It must be possible to clean the entire flue, no sections being left inaccessible for cleaning purposes.

2.4.2. Chimney crown

The upper end of the chimney must clear the roof, the roof ridge or any obstacle located on the roof by at least 1m.

Page 16

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER 15

Figure No.10 - Distances between chimney

crown and roof ridge

The chimney crown must clear the highest point of any neighbouring building or obstacle located within a 10m radius of the chimney outlet by more than 1m.

Figure No.11 - Distances between the chimney

crown and objects within a 10m radius

The chimney crown must clear any neighbouring building or obstacle located within a radius of 10m to 20m from the chimney outlet.

INSTRUCTIONS OF USE 16

INSTRUCTIONS OF USE

The manufacturer accepts no liability

whatsoever for damage caused to parts as

a result of the improper use of non-

recommended fuels, modifications made

to the appliance or how it is installed.

Only use original replacement parts.

All local and national regulations, including those referring to national and European standards, must be observed when using the appliance.

Heat is diffused by radiation and convection via the front and exterior of the appliance.

3.1. Fuel

This appliance must not be used as an incinerator. Do not use non-recommended fuels.

• Use dry logs (max. 16%

humidity), cut at least 2 years ago, clean of resin and stored in a sheltered, ventilated place.

• Use hard woods with high

calorie values and good ember production.

• Large logs should be cut to

useable lengths before being stored. The logs should have a maximum diameter of 150mm.

• Finely-chopped wood produces

greater heat output, but also burns more quickly.

Optimum fuels:

• Beech.

Other fuels:

• Oak, chestnut, ash, maple,

birch, elm, etc.

• Pine and eucalyptus logs are

low density and produce very long flames, and may cause the

parts of the appliance to wear out more quickly than normal.

• Resinous wood may mean that

the appliance and the flue need to be cleaned more often.

Non-permitted fuels:

• All types of coal and liquid fuel.

• “Green wood”. Green or damp

wood reduces the performance of the appliance and leads to soot and tar build-up on the inner walls of the flue, obstructing it.

• “Recovered wood”. The burning

of treated woods (railway sleepers, telegraph posts, plywood, fibreboard, pallets, etc.) quickly blocks the system (soot and tar build-up), harms the environment (pollution, smells) and may lead to deformation of the firebox due to overheating.

• All materials which are not

wood (plastic, spray cans, etc.).

Green and reprocessed wood may cause

chimney fires.

The graph below shows how the humidity of firewood affects its heat output:

Page 19

INSTRUCTIONS OF USE 18

3.3. Lighting

Use of the appliance in warm weather (warm days, early hours of the afternoon on sunny days) may lead to lighting and updraught problems.

Certain weather conditions, such as fog, ice, humidity entering the flue, etc., may hinder sufficient updraught in the flue and lead to suffocation.

Proceed as follows in order to light the appliance satisfactorily:

• Open the firebox door(s) and

open all the firebox air-intake inlets to the full.

• Place paper or a firelighter and

some wood chips in the firebox.

• Light the paper or firelighter.

• Leave the door slightly ajar, the

width of two or three fingers, for about 15 minutes until the glass warms up.

• The first time the appliance is

lit, the fire should be gentle to allow the parts of the appliance to dilate and dry.

Important: The first time it is lit up, the appliance may give off smoke and strange smells. This is not a cause for concern. Open an outdoor window to ventilate the room during the first few hours of operation.

If you notice water around the appliance, this is produced by the condensation of the moisture in the wood on lighting the fire. This condensation will no longer appear when the appliance has been lit three or four times and has adapted to its flue. If it does not disappear, then check the flue draught (length and diameter of the flue, flue insulation,

airtightness) and the humidity of the wood used.

3.4. Safety

Do not store combustible materials

beneath the appliance.

3.5. Loading fuel

In order to load firewood, open the firebox door gently, preventing the sudden entry of air to the firebox so that smoke does not enter the room that the appliance is installed in. Perform this operation with the glove to prevent burns to the hands.

The maximum load height is 2 logs with diameters of approx. 10 cm.

The minimum interval between loads for nominal heat output is 60 minutes.

Always load with the nominal amount (see table in section 1.1).

For minimum burning (e.g. at night), use thicker logs.

When the firebox is loaded, close the door.

Be careful when placing logs in the firebox

on appliances with vermiculite interiors. Vermiculite is a fragile material and may

crack if knocked.

3.6. Operation

The appliance should be operated with the door closed.

For safety reasons, never close all the

appliance’s combustion-air intakes.

Primary-air intake

By opening this inlet, air enters the firebox via the firebox grille.

Page 20

INSTRUCTIONS OF USE 19

Secondary-air intake

By opening this inlet, air enters the

firebox via the top of the firebox door.

IMPORTANT: Keeping the secondary-air

intake open helps keep the door glass

cleaner for longer.

Double-combustion air intake

By opening this inlet, air enters the combustion flame, making for more efficient and less polluting combustion because post-combustion takes place, burning the particles which were not burned in the first combustion. This increases the performance of the appliance and reduces emissions.

In order to obtain maximum output, open all the air intakes to the firebox and in order to obtain minimum output, tend towards closing them. For normal use, we recommend Secondary Intakes open.

IMPORTANT: The appliance is exposed to

extreme changes in temperature and may,

as a result, make noises when in operation.

These noises are a natural result of

expansion/contraction of the parts which

make up the appliance. Do not be alarmed

by noises of this kind.

In order to obtain maximum output, open all the air intakes to the firebox and in order to obtain minimum output, tend towards closing them. For normal use, we recommend you close the Primary Intake and leave the Secondary Combustion Intakes open.

3.7. Removing ash

Following sustained use of the appliance, it is necessary to remove the ash from the firebox. Remove the ashpit box

when cold or using something to prevent yourself from getting burned (glove).

Never throw hot embers into the

rubbish.

Access the ashpit by opening the door

on the appliance.

Figure No.15 - Extract ashpit

Warning! It is very important to put the

ashpit back in its housing at the bottom of the firebox after emptying it of ashes and before lighting the fire again! Do this by following the extraction process in reverse order.

3.8. Deflector.

The appliance has 2 deflectors.

Page 21

INSTRUCTIONS OF USE 20

Figure No.1 - Dismantling the Silver Plus

deflector

Fitting the part on the flue socket

A circular part is supplied inside the appliance. This part must be fitted in position inside the flue in order to achieve all the values in the UNE-EN 13229, standard. Because this part causes a lot of the gases produced by combustion to be retained, it requires optimum flue and fuel conditions. Users may, therefore, prefer not to fit it if such conditions cannot be ensured.

3.9. Electrical system

Forced convetion. Fans

Titanium models have 2 fans for the forced convection of the hot air generated around the appliance inside the shell. This air can be piped to other rooms.

IMPORTANT: This appliance is not covered by our warranty unless directly connected to the mains electricity supply in accordance with the conditions described in the relevant section in 1.1.

Potentiometer operation:

By means of its rotating lever, the potentiometer controls the flow of hot-air output from the appliance in two ways:

• Automatic mode:

The fan automatically starts working at the set speed via the thermostat. When a fire has been lit in the firebox and the thermostat reaches a temperature of approximately 50ºC, the fan starts working at the power set on the potentiometer (rotating wheel) and stops automatically when the temperature drops beneath 50ºC.

• Manual mode:

The fan works at the speed set using the rotating wheel independently of the thermostat, i.e. the fan can be started up before the thermostat reaches 50ºC.

Figure No.2 - Titanium potentiometer display

Page 22

INSTRUCTIONS OF USE 21

For more information see the

potentiometer instruction manual.

3.10. Hot-air output control

This appliance has a control with which to choose where and how much hot air should be released through the front of the appliance and the nozzle.

Figure No.3 - The flow through each output is

regulated by moving the control.

MAINTENANCE AND IMPORTANT ADVICE 22

MAINTENANCE AND

IMPORTANT ADVICE

4.1. Maintenance of the appliance

The appliance, the flue connector piping and the flue must be cleaned regularly, particularly following long periods without use.

4.1.1. Firebox

Clean the firebox area of ash, etc.

On central-heating appliances, clean the walls of soot (creosote) in order to enhance performance and allow the firebox grille to rise and lower properly.

4.1.2. Flue socket

The flue socket area must be kept clean at all times for the appliance to work properly.

It must be cleaned as often as required. How often it is cleaned depends on how much the appliance is used and the type of fuel employed.

4.1.3. Enamelled-steel parts

Use a damp cloth with neutral soap to clean the enamelled-steel parts and dry immediately. Do not use abrasive, corrosive, chlorine-based or acid-based products to clean the enamelled-steel parts; they could damage the enamel.

4.1.4. Firebox glass

Keep the secondary-air intake open to keep the door glass cleaner for longer. However, the glass may get dirty the longer the appliance is used. Special degreasing products designed for the purpose should be used to clean it.

Clean when the glass is cold and taking care not to apply the glass cleaner directly onto the glass as it could come into contact with the door-seal cord and damage it.

4.1.5. Painted sheet-steel-cast-iron parts.

These parts should be cleaned with a brush or dry cloth. Do not dampen the parts: the steel could rust and the paint could blister and chip. Be particularly careful when cleaning the glass: the liquids used must not dampen the painted steel.

4.1.6. Electrical system

The electrical system should be cleaned-vacuumed regularly (depending on the installation and use), so as to avoid the accumulation of ash, lint and other remains that may generate strange noises and/or deteriorate the ventilators and electrical system. Disconnect the electrical network system to perform this task.

Figure No.4 - Electrical system

4.1.7. Air intake registers

In the air intake for combustion registers, remains of ash, sawdust, cleaning fluids, etc. may accumulate, which restrict

or hinder its movement. In these cases, they should be released and cleaned.

4.1.8. leaning the coloured sides

To clean the coloured sides, use a damp cloth, neutral soap and dry immediately after. Do not use scouring pads or abrasive, stripping or acid-based products as they may damage the surface.

4.2. Maintenance of the chimney flue

VERY IMPORTANT: In order to avoid incidents (chimney fires, etc.), it is necessary to perform maintenance and cleaning operations on a regular basis; if the appliance is used often, then the chimney and the flue connector piping must be swept several times a year.

In the event of fire in the chimney, close the flue draught, close doors and windows, remove embers from the firebox, block the connection hole with damp cloths and call the fire brigade.

TROUBLESHOOTING

This symbol means that a qualified professional should be called to perform the operation.

Problem

Probable causes

Solution

The fire does not light properly The fire does not stay alight

Green or damp wood

Use hard woods, cut at least 2 years ago and stored in a sheltered, ventilated place

The logs are too large

Use crumpled paper or firelighters and dry wood chips to light the fire. Use split logs to keep the fire going

Poor-quality wood

Use hard woods which produce heat and embers (chestnut, ash, maple, birch, elm, beech, etc.)

Insufficient primary air

Open the primary- and secondary-air intakes completely, or even open the door slightly. Open the outdoor-air inlet grille

Insufficient updraught

Check that the draught is not blocked. De-soot if necessary. Check that the flue is in perfect condition (airtight, insulated, dry, etc.)

The fire flames up too much

Excessive primary air

Close the primary- and secondary-air intakes partially or totally

Excessive updraught

Install a draught damper

Smoke given off on lighting

Poor-quality wood

Do not continually burn chips, carpentry scraps (plywood, pallets, etc.)

Cold flue

Heat up the flue by burning a piece of paper in the firebox.

Smoke during burning

The room is at low pressure

In rooms with Controlled Mechanical Ventilation, leave an outdoor window ajar until the fire is fully alight.

Too little wood loaded

Load as recommended. Loads notably smaller than those recommended lead to low smoke temperature and downdraught.

Insufficient updraught

Check the condition of the flue and insulation. Check that the piping is not blocked. Clean mechanically if necessary

Wind enters the flue

Install an anti-downdraught system (Cowl) at the top of the chimney

Does not warm up enough

The room is at low pressure

In rooms with Controlled Mechanical Ventilation, there must be an outdoor-air inlet

Poor-quality wood

Only use the recommended fuel

The fans do not work

Electrical fault

Water condenses (after the appliance has been lit more than 3 or 4 times)

Too little wood loaded

Load as recommended. Loads notably smaller than those recommended lead to low smoke temperature and condensation.
