damper Control

When preparing the unit for use (ignition and wood loading), it is important that the damper is in the 

open position. While the unit is functioning ensure the damper is in the open position. Once the fire has 

extinguished, close the damper.

Combustion air settings

The combustion air control is located on the base below the fireplace shelf. This mechanism controls 

flow of air entering the firebox, which allows for a more precise control of the fire. The quantity of 

combustion air entering the firebox can be altered by moving the combustion air control from the left 

(low) to the right (high).

slow Combustion 

When the air combustion control is nearly closed, the fireplace is in its slowest combustion phase. If 

the fire is hot enough, slow combustion will not stop the fire, but there will be a noticeable change in the 

flame pattern. the flames will be slow and may appear dirty if the wood is too wet (moisture content of 

15% and more). this method of operation is not recommended and will produce excessive creosote in 

the fireplace and the flue.  

Creosote may also accumulate on the glass panels.  

 

Caution

: continuous and intensive slow burn operation may cause early deterioration of the appliance 

and it’s components, as well as a chimney fire if the flue has not been regularly cleaned.

establisHing tHe first fire

Before establishing the first fire, remove all labels or equipment parts located in the ash box or in the 

furnace. open the flue damper control.

While building your first fire, keep the combustion rate at a moderate level to ensure that the sealant 

binds with the paint. all materials should be seasoned. 

please note:

 Before building a big fire, establish several fires. The curing process is necessary to ensure 

that the paint is not damaged and that the insert is well seasoned. 

Do not overload the furnace. the optimum amount of fuel should not exceed one third of the insert 

volume. Before reloading, make sure that the fire has subsided. This will keep the fireplace from over-

firing. 

flow of air can be regulated by the primary air controls at the front of the unit.

Except for the short time required to build a fire, the fireplace door should be fully closed. If doors are left 

partly open, flue gas may be drawn out of the opening creating risks from both fire and smoke.

ignition instruCtions (continued)

After an extended time of non-use, it is recommended that the firebox be checked and cleaned by a 

professional to ensure there is no obstruction in the flue and no blocking of the manoeuvring members 

(damper) before ignition.

aCCelerated Combustion 

The maximum heat output for JC Bordelet fireplaces is achieved with the combustion air control fully 

opened. The fireplace can achieve an optimal heat output with two large or three medium size pieces of 

wood.

medium Combustion 

This is the recommended mode for operating JC Bordelet fireplaces as it will deposit the least amount 

of creosote on glass panels and in the flue. the combustion air control should be set to half-open after 

ignition. The most efficient setting will vary depending on many factors including flue length and the 

moisture content of the wood. Two large or three medium size pieces of wood should be burning over a 

bed of hot coals. 

important

Ventilation devices which operate with the fireplace on the same premises or on the premises which 

share the same ventilation shaft may not function properly.
Please ensure the grate is never blocked.
During installation please allow for access to have the fireplace and the connecting shaft cleaned. 
If required, install cut-off and stifling devices.

reCommended fuel

This fireplace is designed for wood fuel only. Any fuel other than wood is strictly forbidden. 

as a general rule it is recommended; use dry, well-seasoned 

Hard wood

 with a 15% moisture content or 

less in order for the unit to burn effectively and avoid any tarring. the heating output of wood depends on 

the moisture percentage.
