8.3. General information
8.3.1. When the fireplace paint dries
ARTE ® products are painted in spray booth with as more environmentally friendly and ecological colors as possible. There is although a
possibility that the first few times the fireplace is lighted, the paint emits an odor. Let the fire burn with intense convection until all traces of
gas disappear and there is no longer a smell. The gas is not toxic, but the room should be well ventilated.
8.3.2. Incineration preparation
Prepare sufficient amount of chopped firewood, kindling and branches or torches. Before using the wood it is recommended to store them
in a warm place for a few days.
8.3.3. Heating during seasonal change or in adverse weather conditions
When there is high humidity or fog, with temperatures
≥
15 ° C, but also during the transitional period between seasons, it is recommended
to light a test fire before normally lighting the fireplace. This will displace the cold, heavy air that is inside the flue and create the right
conditions for optimum smoke dissipation.

9.1. Traditional method of lighting
Every time you light the fireplace, it initially requires large volumes of air. When the fireplace is cold, leave the door slightly open for the first
few minutes and turn the combustion air regulator
(Table 8.2.1, line 3)
on position 8.
To form an adequate layer of ash at the base of the fireplace, use 1-2 kg of dry kindling the first time you light it. If it is possible, constantly
maintain a layer of ash with thickness of 2-3 cm at the base of the combustion chamber for added insulation.
1.
Place 2-4 kindling tablets or 7-10 wrapped newspaper sheets beneath 1-2 kg dry kindling.
2.
Turn the combustion air regulator
(Table 8.2.1, line 3)
on position 8.
3.
After the the ignition of the tablets/wrapped sheets, leave the door slightly open in order to ensure an adequate convection of the flue.
4.
Once you ensure the flue is warm enough (after 5-10 minutes), close the door. If all required conditions are met, after 15-20 minutes a thick
layer of cinder will be formed in the combustion chamber and the temperature will rise, which is essential for the continuation of
combustion.
5. Once the requirement described in point 4 is met, place 2-3 logs with overall weight of 1-3 kg, depending on the size of the fireplace, on
the cinder, with a distance of about 1cm from one another.
6.
Open the air supply to the maximum level and close the door. The wood will begin to burn within 2-3 minutes. If not, open the door slightly
in order for enough air for combustion to enter. Close the door again once the wood ignites.
7.
Lower the combustion air regulator
(Table 8.2.1, line 3)
between positions 1 to 4, so that the combustion continues seamleassly and ensure
there is adequate air supply (oxygen) to maintain the flame clear and powerful when you reduce the amount of combustion air and after.
8. As soon as the fire leaves a thick layer of cinder, you can add more firewood by repeating steps 5-7, every 45-55 minutes according to the
type of the device.
9.2. Lighting without CO emissions (FROM TOP TO BOTTOM)
1. Turn the combustion air regulator
(Table 8.2.1, line 3)
on position 8. If needed, leave the door slightly open in order to ensure an adequate
convection of the flue.
NEVER USE THE DEVICE WITH MAIN DOOR OPEN BECAUSE
YOU RUN THE RISK OF DESTROING THE DEVICE!!!
To avoid covering the glass with soot, it is
important not to let logs lean against it.
Don’t leave the fireplace unattended as long as the door remains open.
Due to the self-closing door you should be very careful for
any accidents during the fueling of the fireplace.
