JOINTS AND SEALS
We recommend, at the beginning and towards the middle of the season, performing a
visual check on the state of joints (doors, glass...) and sealing, in case any
replacements or repairs were required.
ASH CLEANING
To empty the ash from the fireplace, you must remove the ash pan located beneath the
cast iron grill at the bottom of the fireplace.

A number of possible risks are present when operating your solid fuel HEARTH with
fuel of any brand. The said risks can be minimised if the instructions and
recommendations included in this manual are followed.
Below, we shall indicate a number of recommendations and some advice but, above all
else, we recommend common sense.
1. Keep any flammable material (furniture, curtains, clothes...) at a minimum safety
distance of 0.90 m.
2. Ash should be emptied into a metal container and immediately removed from the house
3. Never use flammable liquids to light the hearth. Keep any type of flammable liquid
(petrol, alcohol...) away from the hearth.
4. Periodically inspect the chimney and clean whenever necessary. Also inspect the state
of joints, glass, screws....
5. Do not install near walls that are combustible or that feature any type of lining that may
be damaged or deformed by high temperatures (varnish, paint...). Ensure that the top
hot air grilles are not installed on combustible elements.
6. Protect your hands with a glove or other insulating material because, during operation,
the handle will get hot.
