6 IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS
- Check that there is always at least 1cm between the door and the frame or masonry.
- Keep all readily infl ammable objects away from the appliance (nylon fabrics, infl ammable
liquids, etc.). Furniture items must be kept at a minimum distance of 1m from the appliance.
- ATTENTION: children and people who do not know how to operate the air-vent gas fi re-
place must completely refrain from using it. Where necessary, provide additional protection to
prevent, for example, children from touching the appliance.
- All visible parts must be treated as active heating surfaces and may not therefore be
touched during operation, at the risk of burning oneself.
- It is prohibited to use the appliance with the glass damaged or without the door.
- Only install the draught limiter if there is a diff erence in vertical length of over 3m in rela-
tion to the horizontal length.
- The fan must always be in operation. If this is not the case, a thermal switch activates the fi replace’s
emergency shutdown mechanism.
- The appliance is designed to cut out after 24 hours in operation. Simply restart the
appliance to put it back into operation.
FIRST FIRE
- On fi rst lighting (start of season or new installation), air in the gas fl ue may disrupt
fl ame detection. In this case, simply restart the appliance several times (to purge the fl ue), and
you must open the door after each unsuccessful att empt to light , in order to prevent gas
accumulating in the combustion chamber.
- You must wait 5 seconds for the pilot light to stabilize, and visually check the pre-
sence of the fl ame before lighting the burner. Also, it is recommended that the fl ame level be
at maximum in order to light the burner.
-
Make sure you clean the glass well before and after the fi rst lighting of the fi replace to
prevent accumulation of particles on the glass.
- After two hours of heating, turn the appliance off , let it cool down, open the door to
remove the whitish deposit on the glass using a damp cloth, and then close the door.
- The fi rst fi re bakes the paint, which causes a release of fumes:
- Ventilate the room.
- Do not touch the paint until the fi replace has cooled down as initially it sof-
tens.
