Sound Advice
Kindling after some lengthy pause
If the insert has not been used for a protracted period, it should be checked
whether the smoke ducts are intact, and whether there might be blockings in the
chimney prior to kindling.
Chimney Fire
In the event of chimney fire, it is recommended to close the door and the
damper, and possibly call the fire brigade.
Cleaning of Fireplace Insert
All Lotus fireplace inserts have been factory surface treated using original
Senotherm lacquer in colours ”coke” or ”grey”. This treatment will make the
fireplace insert exude a special smell during the initial kindlings but this will
vanish after a few times. Provide good airing. Maintain the surface by brushing
it, using a soft, long-haired auto brush. A cloth with water or other matter may
not be used.
Maintenance of Fireplace Insert
It is recommended that the maintenance of your stove be performed by a
qualified service engineer, and that only spares recommended by the
manufacturer be used.
Packings may look neat but they will collapse in the heat and will thus lose
their ability to keep the fireplace insert tight. Packings should be replaced as
required since good combustion and a clean pane will very much depend on the
fireplace insert being tight.
Skamol broken or Worn may easily be replaced as these have been mounted
loosely, the plates are made of vermiculite this is an insulating material, and the
material is lighter porous. To avoid breaking the plates, it is important that
wood is not thrown, but rather added into the middle of the firebox . Should
you get to crack a skamolplate, it has no significance for insulation.
The smoke turn plate may be worn. It is readily replaced and is fitted as
described above.
