Attention: Do not use the stove undeveloped except for kindling trial.
5.2. starting to use the fireplace insert
before enclosing the fireplace insert, it is necessary to start the fire in it for a few times in order to
test the damper and other moveable elements of the inserts. during the first two weeks, the newly
installed fireplace insert should be used at 40% of the rated power, with gradually increased tempera-
ture. such a preparation gradually alleviates internal stresses, thereby preventing a thermal shock as
well as extending the life of the insert.
When used for the first few times, the fireplace insert may give off a smell of enamel, sealing silicone,
and other materials used to construct the enclosure. This phenomenon is normal and disappears with
time. after a month's use, the bolts of the plates supporting the pane need to tightened.
5.3. The use of the fireplace insert
To start the fire in the fireplace insert, open the door using the handle, place tinder on the grate (e.g.
dry paper), then place wood spilt into thin chunks on the tinder, and then large chunks. it is unadvis-
able to use synthetic tinder, the reason being that the chemical compounds contained therein may
give off a specific and unpleasant smell.
Then, move the damper control lever of the fireplace insert stack to the fully open position, open all
the inlets in the front ash pan cover, and then close the front door of the fireplace.
Warning: it is forbidden to use materials other than those allowed for by this instruction to start the
fire. do not use flammable chemical products, such as oil, petrol, solvents, etc.
When the fire has been started, add wood to the insert, placing it in such a way as to optionally fill up
the chamber with regard to the predicted burning time based on the user's experience. When wood
is being burnt, the door of the insert must be closed. persisting for a long time, maximum burning
temperatures may overheat cast iron elements of the insert and damage them.
Thus, the intensity of fuel-burning in the fireplace insert should be adjusted be means of the rotary
damper located in the stack of the insert and the choke in the cover of the ash pan. it is necessary to
control the extent to which the ash pan drawer is filled, since, if full, the ash pan limits the cooling of
the grate and prevents the combustion air from entering the fireplace. To empty the drawer of the
ash pan, close the damper of the stack, slowly open the front door of the insert, pull out the drawer
from the body of the fireplace insert and remove the ash, complying with fire protection regulations.
Warning: While carrying out any activity related to the operation or maintenance of the insert, the
user must be aware that the elements of the insert may be very hot, and hence should use protec-
tive gloves. in operating the fireplace insert, it is imperative that all basic rules ensuring safety be
observed. The user needs to read the instructions for the fireplace and definitely comply with them,
and in particular with the following:
• the insert must be installed and started up by an installer who has relevant qualifications;
• do not leave any objects vulnerable to high temperatures in the proximity of the pane; do not put
out the fire in the firebox with water; do not use the insert if the pane is cracked; do not place any
flammable elements near the insert;
• do not let children come near the fireplace;
• open the door slowly, and while doing so, simultaneously open the damper of the chimney stack;
• any repairs may be carried out only by a skilled installer, using spare parts by the manufacturer of
the insert. it is prohibited to modify the construction, or to change the rules of installation or use
without the manufacturer's written permission;
• to ensure safe use of the insert, it is advisable to remove the handle when the fireplace is in opera-
tion.
