5.0 Daily use

5.1 Odours when using the fireplace
for the first time
When the fireplace is used for the first time, it may emit an
irritating gas which may smell slightly. This happens because
the paint dries.The gas is not toxic but the room should be
thoroughly ventilated. Let the fire burn with a high draught
until all traces of the gas have disappeared and no smoke or
odours can be detected.

5.3 Use
• Open the air/ignition valve by pulling it to the right. If
necessary, keep the door slightly open. (Use a glove, for
example, as the handle can become hot.)
• Place two medium sized logs in/out on each side of the
base. N.B. In order to avoid sooting on the glass, it is
important that the log is not placed adjacent to the glass
on the product.
• Put 2-3 briquettes (or birch bark) between these and add
some kindling wood in a criss-cross pattern on top and
light the newspaper.
• Gradually increase the size of the woodlogs.
• Finally, place a medium-sized log on the top of the pile.
• Then regulate the rate of combustion to the desired level of
heating by adjusting the air vent.

fire is lit.

operated with air controls, appliance dampers or door left
