All national and local regulations and European standards must be
complied with when using the appliance.
6.1 – General points
Cheminées de Chazelles inserts are designed to operate using
firewood logs only. Maximum log length for the range of appliances is
around 50 centimetres, except for CV600 and C600 inserts, for which
maximum length is around 33 centimetres.
It is formally prohibited to put any other type of material than firewood
into the appliance.
6.2 – Recommended fuels
Broad-leafed hardwoods such as hornbeam, oak, beech and elm
provide the best firewood.
We advise you to use very dry wood (20% dampness maximum),
with 2 years’ covered storage after cutting, in order to obtain the
best results and avoid rapid bistrage of the flue and window

product reference in order to ensure your product a maximum
lifespan.

spruce, etc.).

particular.
Burning straw, cardboard and liquid fuels is dangerous and to be

6.4 – Instructions for use
6.4.1 First lightings
Although your fireplace may appear to have dried out fully, it is essential
to wait a good three weeks between completing its installation and the
first lighting, to be sure that all its constituent materials are completely
dry.
Don’t make too strong a fire! The first lighting should be moderate and
should not burn for more than three hours.
During first lightings, solvents in the paintwork may give off unpleasant
smells. Ventilate the room!
6.4.2 Lighting (depending on version of product)
- Depending on appliance model, place screwed up paper and slivers of
very dry wood on the grille or hearth, then pieces of split wood of wider
diameter (3 to 5 cm).
- Check that the dampers are in open (+) position.
- Light the paper and leave the door half open and the primary and
secondary air controls fully open.
See the diagrams below for operation of the air regulation system.
