STOKING UP FOR THE FIRST TIME
If you have had your chimney breast modified or newly built, first allow your home to
dry properly. Walls which have not been allowed to dry properly are a magnet for dust
such as any smoke particles created when stoking up the fitted fire or suddenly opening
the door. Even scorched dust can easily be retained by damp walls. Think also of dust
on the outside of the appliance or on hot radiators etc.
Check that all packaging, stickers etc. and/or all dust and waste has been cleaned up
after the installation work (to avoid it getting scorched/causing a bad smell).
Check again that all moving parts are in order and that loose parts such as the
retardant plates (brake plates), interior panels, bottom stones etc. are in the correct
position. They may have moved during installation.
The built-in fire has a heat-proof finish. It only hardens at high temperatures. When
unpacked, it is therefore not fully hardened. It can easily be damaged at this time.
Begin stoking up the fire with a low flame (see chapter 7). Increase the heat gradually
for approx. 2 hours until you reach the correct output. Keep it at this level for another 2
- 3 hours. The finish will now be properly hardened and can be touched without
damaging. The hardening process creates a nasty, though harmless, smell/vapour.
Adequate ventilation is of the utmost importance.
