Directions for use and Installation Instructions
There may be too much of a draught in your chimney, particularly if it is very high
(in excess of 8 m). Ask your supplier to fi t a check valve or damper. This may not
be possible in all cases.
Can I leave my fi re unattended?
Only do this when the appliance is burning quietly, with just a little wood, with
a closed door and with the combustion air supply slider in the centre position
between “
+ ” and “ - ”. In this position, the primary air supply beneath the grate
is closed and the secondary/tertiary air supply is open. Secondary air is supplied
through the small holes in the rear panel of the combustion chamber. Tertiary air
is supplied through the opening behind the glass at the top of the combustion
chamber.
Do not leave children unattended while the fi re is burning.
Do I have to take any extra measures if the room I am heating has an
extractor fan (mechanical ventilation)?
A fl ue gas fan is required for permanent extraction of the area in which the
fi replace is placed.
The type of fl ue gas fan depends on the capacity of the extractor system.
Always consult your installation engineer about this.
What is creosote?
Creosote is a tar-like deposit which is left in the chimney. It is formed in poor
combustion conditions when burning wood (damp wood, pinching off the
air supply to the fi re or burning impregnated or painted wood for example).
Creosote ignites at approx. 500°C. This temperature can easily be reached if the
fi re is raging. This means that deposits of creosote in your chimney could cause
a chimney fi re.
