Using the Heat Pure with an open or closed door
The Heat Pure can be used as an (open) fireplace or a stove (door
closed). The main difference, is that each use has a different air
requirement. For this reason, the Heat Pure features a fresh air valve at
the rear of the appliance (patent).
Advantage: The air required by the flue duct to ensure good constant
circulation is always introduced into the Heat Pure or room in the most
efficient and comfortable way. When placing the Heat Pure it is always
important to take heavy air users into account, such as large ventilation
systems and extractor hoods. These products use powerful motors to
extract air, the pressure difference built up naturally by a flue is far less.
When the door is open, the heat output will fall to about 20%. The wood
consumption will increase; as air has unregulated access to the wood.
The advantage is a cosy hearth fire.
•
Never leave an open fire burn without supervision; any
sparks could cause a fire.
•
Open the damper (if present) completely.
•
Only use the Heat Pure as an open fireplace if there is
enough draught in the flue.
•
Preferably use the Heat Pure with a closed door. This is
better for the environment and the heat output.
