To ensure maximum performance for your fireplace, it is necessary to keep a close eye on it. It is
recommended that refueling is carried out several times rather than overloading the unit
»
Each time more fuel is added ensure a lively fire burns for a short time, so that condensation, which
generally forms when fuel is first placed in the fire is evacuated
»
Always have two pieces of wood burning off each other as one log on its own will struggle to stay
alight. Therefore for it is important to establish hot coals and a lazy flame for good heat output
»
Using the fireplace for a long time at a very slow burn rate with vents and damper fully closed is not
recommended, especially at the start and end of winter and when the temperature rises as this can
cause deposits of soot and tar on the window and in the flue
»
Do not use the fireplace with the door and air inlets entirely open at the same time, as well as having an
excessive load of wood. This will produce extremely high temperatures inside of the firebox which is
likely to damage the cast iron elements of the unit, the connections and the flue
»
Carefully load fire wood into the unit, do not throw or forcefully pack firewood into the unit when
reloading. This has the potential to fracture and damage the grate, back and side plates, glass, fire log
retainers and over all cast iron internal elements
