NOTICE
The
Olympien
central fireplace was conceived to safely function the doors closed and
only when burning firewood. Any change, modification or unauthorized installation will
automatically cancel the certification of the appliance, its guarantee, its homologation and
the appliance might become dangerous.
During the first hours of operation of your appliance, you must gradually heat it
without exceeding 300°F (145°C), in order to let the paint cook slowly and to facilitate its
adhesion with metal. It is normal that a light smoke is released from the paint during the
first hours of use.
Even if this nuisance is temporary, open the windows and the doors in order to ensure
good ventilation. This special paint is conceived to tolerate temperatures until 1200°F
(650°C).
C
REOSOTE
The wood burning slowly produces tar and other organic steams, which forms a whole
called “creosote”. The steam condenses in the cool chimney when the wood is burning
slowly. In this way, creosote residues are formed on the walls. Creosote can take several
forms: tarry liquid, soot dust or deposits in crystal form. When in fire, the creosote
releases a very strong heat and can be the cause of a chimney fire.
- Do not knock on the glasses or violently close the doors.
- Do not use the appliance when a glass is broken or damaged.
- Do not build the fire too close of the glasses.
- The burning logs should not come into contact with the glasses in order to avoid a
breaking
- Keep the doors closed when using the appliance.
- Do not connect the
Olympien
central fireplace with a chimney or a flue serving
another heating appliance
