Floor
On the floor in front of your fireplace insert, there should be a non-inflammable
plate, for instance made of steel or stone material. This plate should be big
enough to reach min. 30cm in front of the fireplace insert and 15cm at each side
of the fireplace opening.
Chimney Sweeper
Once your new fireplace insert has been assembled, do make a point of
registering the installation with the chimney sweeper. For one thing, the
installation is to be inspected, and the chimney will also have to be swept by the
chimney sweeper in the years to come.
Using your fireplace insert
Below, you will find a description of kindling and firing of your fireplace
insert. The wood volume and register setting may be varied as required
individually for heating and the draught of the actual chimney.
The inserts are intended for intermittent combustion.
Kindling and Current Firing
1.
Put appr. 2kg kindling pins in at the bottom of the fireplace insert, stacked
cross-wise like a log house. Put 2 spirit blocks in the middle, and light these.
2.
Close the door ajar, leaving an opening of appr. 2 cm. Open the air damper
entirely under the damper (pulling it all the way out). Leave the fireplace
insert like this for about 5- or 10 minutes before closing the door entirely and
pushing the handle in locked position.
3.
Dampen the air damper as required during the kindling.
4.
Once the fire has burned down to the state of glowing (no more flames seen),
open the door carefully so that the ashes will no be stirred up and come out.
Cautiously spread the glows using a poker so as to make these lie in an even
layer.
5.
Put 2-4 pieces of wood into the fireplace insert, a total of about 1.5 – 2.5kg.
Put these pieces at the bottom of the fireplace insert, parallel with the
fireplace insert front; one or two pieces may be put on top. The pieces to be
laid at some little distance between them to allow for some air in between.
The front piece will be lit best if it has a chopped side facing the door, and
another facing the glows. Close the door tightly at once.
