1.4. PuTTiNG iNTO OPEraTiON
Remove all attached documents and accessories from the fireplace. When first heating up the
fireplace insert, the high temperature resistant paint will dry and harden. This drying and hardening
is accompanied by a smell. The fumes are not toxic, but are unpleasant. Follow those rules:
- Open doors and windows in the room so that the area is fully ventilated.
- The first two batches of the fuel should correspond to the lower limit of the recommended
batch for the product
(Chapter 2.5).
- The paint is soft during burning so do not touch it.
Commissioning the heat-carrying fireplace insert
Before heating, check that the following conditions are fulfilled:
- The fireplace insert is connected to the heating system.
- The heat-water exchanger is filled with water and de-aerated.
- Safety elements (safety valve, thermostatic valve) are installed and their function is verified.
- The thermostatic valve is connected to the fireplace insert with the pressure from
the water system by a minimum of 2 bars
1.5. OPEN OPEraTiON
Hoxter fireplace inserts are not designed to be operated with an open door. The fireplace must
always be closed with the exception of adding fuel so as to prevent burning wood falling out
and combustion gases leaking into the room.
