3. Light fire lighters or loose papers and put dry kindling or peat on top.
4. As the fire establishes add some pieces of solid fuel adjusting the airwash to just 25% open
and adjusting the burn rate using the primary air.
5. Certain sites may need increased airflow when being started this can be done by adjusting
the levers on the top, bottom accordingly as in steps 1 and 4.
6. The De Vielle Fire Front is intended as a unit to cut down on fuel consumption not to
generate more heat. Where a back boiler is fitted the De Vielle Fire Front will heat the water
much more efficiently.

be held liable for faulty workmanship also all installations must be carried out in accordance
with local building regulations.

(See Fig 1-C) to open and close the door and also adjust the airwash control slider and
primary control slider.

nothing to be alarmed about it is just part of the curing process.
