2.2. Opening and closing the door
WHEN A FIRE IS BURNING, OPEN THE DOOR SLOWLY. A fast opening may lead to a
temporary spillage of smoke.
TO SHUT THE DOOR, lift the handle, press the door against the combustion chamber in
order to crush the seal slightly, then lower the handle to its stop position.
2.3. Operation
USE SOLID WOOD ONLY (LOGS)
The quality of the wood is ESSENTIAL for an optimal operation of the appliance (effi ciency,
cleanliness of the window, ...). A quality wood is a dry wood having dried at least 2 years under
a
ventilated shelter.
Except when starting a fi re, NEVER OPERATE your FIRELACE with the GRATE in the
OPEN
POSITION.

of particles on the glass.
