Notification: During active burning (visible fire), never close the air supply and do not smoother
the fire! Air flowing into the burning chamber cools the ceramic glass. If closing the supply of air,
it can be overheated and irreversible changes can occur in the crystalline structure of the glass.
During burning with an insufficient air supply, an excessive amount of harmful carbon monoxide
- CO will originate. In the case of opening the air supply too fast, there may be a rapid reaction
of the collected gases with the oxygen.

If your fireplace is fitted with electronic burning control then follow instructions stated in the manual
for the electronic burning control.

For the correct function of the fireplace insert, a sufficient draught in the chimney is required, which
depends on the outdoor temperature. In winter when the outdoor temperature is low, the chimney
has the highest draught level. A problem with a sufficient draught may occur in the transient period
(before and after winter). A higher outdoor temperature worsens the burning and increases the
volume of the smoke. These undesirable phenomena can be prevented as follows:
- When starting, increase the first dose of the fuel by 30 %, to quickly achieve the requested draught
in the chimney.
- Do not cut the wood into small pieces; this will result in heating the chimney too fast and stabilize
the draught.
- Leave the lever for the air supply in maximum position.
- Only add well dried wood.

Notification: Before starting to clean the fireplace insert, make sure that is cold and has
completely finished burning. The frequency of cleaning and the intensity of the maintenance
(fireplace insert, smoke flue, chimney) depends on the quality of the burnt wood. If the fireplace
insert was not in operation for a long time, then before heating, it is necessary to check that
the chimney is not blocked.
