slightly ajar each time new logs are inserted so that the
flames get well established. The fire should burn with
bright and lively flames.
Burning at very a low combustion output and attempting
to burn all day and night increase pollution as well as
the risk of chimney fire. Never allow the fireplace or
flue to become glowing red. Turn off the air vent control
should this happen. Regulation of the air vent control
takes some experience, but after a little while you will
find a natural combustion rhythm.
IMPORTANT! Always remember to open the air
vent control and the door when new wood logs
are inserted into a hot burn chamber. Let the
flames get established on the wood before the air
supply is reduced.
When the draught in the chimney is low and
the vents are closed, the gas from the firewood
can be ignited with a bang. This can cause
damages to the product as well as the immediate
environment.
7. Maintenance
Cleaning and Inspection
The fireplace should be inspected thoroughly and
cleaned at least once per season (possibly in
combination with the sweeping of the chimney and
chimney pipes). Ensure that all joints are tight and
that the gaskets are rightly positioned. Exchange any
gaskets that are worn or deformed.
Remember that the fireplace must always be cold when
inspected.
Ashes
The ashes should be removed regularly. Be aware
that the ashes can contain hot ember even several
days after the fire has finished. Use a container of
non-combustible material to remove the ashes. It is
recommended to leave a layer of ashes in the bottom
as this further insulates the burn chamber. Take care
with the Thermotte plates when the ashes are removed,
particularly when using an ash shovel, so as not to
damage them.
Thermotte™ insulating plates
The insulating plates in the burn chamber (FIG 12)
contribute to a high combustion temperature, which
leads to cleaner combustion of the wood and a higher
rate of efficiency. Any fissures in the plates will not
reduce their insulation efficiency.
If new plates are needed, contact your dealer.
When dismantling, lift the smoke baffle plate (A) to
remove the sideplates and then the remaining plates.

Please note: Wood logs that are too long can cause
strain and crack the plates, due to the tension created
between the side plates.
Please also note that the Thermotte™ plates may
release coloured dust when touched. Avoid touching
any cast iron parts with dust on your fingers. Any visible
dust on cast iron can be brushed off with the glove that
is included.
Door and Glass
Should there be any soot on the glass it may be
necessary to clean it. Use dedicated glass cleaner,
as other detergents may damage the glass. (NB! Be
careful, even dedicated glass cleaner can damage the
varnish on the door frame)
.
A good advice for cleaning
the glass is to use a damp cloth or kitchen roll paper
and apply some ash from the burn chamber. Rub
around the ash on the glass and finish off with a piece
of clean and damp kitchen roll paper. NB! Only clean
when the glass is cold.
Check regularly that the transition between the glass
and the door is completely tight. Possibly tighten the
screws that hold the glass in place - but not too hard, as
this can cause the glass to crack.
Periodically, it may be necessary to change the gaskets
on the door to ensure that the burn chamber is air tight
and working optimally. These gaskets can be bought as
a set, usually including ceramic glue.
Refractory glass should
be disposed of as resid-
ual waste, together with
pottery and porcelain
REFRACTORY
GLASS CANNOT
BE RECYCLED
Recycling of the refractory glass
Refractory glass cannot be recycled. Old glass,
breakage or otherwise unusable refractory glass, must
be discarded as residual waste. Refractory glass has a
higher melting temperature, and can therefore not be
recycled together with glass. In case it would be mixed
with ordinary glass, it would damage the raw material
and could, in worst case end the recycling of glass. It is
an important contribution to the environment to ensure
that refractory glass does not end up with the recycling
