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
of ordinary glass.
Packaging Recycle
The packaging accompanying the product should be
recycled according to national regulations.

9. Advice on Lighting a Fire
The best way to light a fire is with the use of lightening
briquettes and dry kindling wood. Newspapers
cause a lot of ashes and the ink is damaging for the
environment. Advertising flyers, magazines, milk
cartons and similar are not suitable for lighting a fire.
Good air supply is important at ignition. When the flue is
hot the draught increases and door can be closed.
Warning: NEVER use a lighting fuel such as
petrol, paraffin, methylated spirits or similar for
lighting a fire. This could cause injury to you as
well as damaging the product.
Use clean and dry wood with a maximum moisture
content of 20% and minimum 16%. The wood logs
should dry for a minimum of 6 months after it is cut.
Humid wood requires a lot of air for the combustion,
as extra energy/heat is required for drying the humid
wood and heat effect is therefore minimal. In addition
this creates soot in the chimney with the risk of creosote
and chimney fire .
Storing of Wood
In order to ensure that the wood is dry, the tree should
be cut in winter and then stored during the summer,
under roof and in a location with adequate ventilation.
The wood pile must never be covered by a tarpaulin
which is lying against the ground as the tarpaulin will
then act as a sealed lid that will prevent the wood from
drying. Always keep a small amount of wood indoors for
a few days before use so that moisture in the surface of
the wood can evaporate.
Firing
Lack of air to the combustion may cause the glass
to soot. Hence, supply the fire with air just after the
wood is added, so that the flames and gases in the
combustion chamber are properly burnt off. Open the
air vent and leave the door slightly ajar in order for the
flames to establish properly on the wood
Note that the air supply for the combustion also can
be too intense and cause an uncontrollable fire that
very quickly heat up the whole hearth to an extremely
high temperature (when firing with a closed or nearly
closed door). For this reason you should never fill the
combustion chamber completely with wood.
