Door
Foldaway door
Your Totem fireplace is fitted with a foldaway door. This is used to make the appliance function on a daily
basis.
To optimise heating performance and use the fire in complete safety, fully lower the door.
Separating R°V° fireplaces have a
foldaway swinging
door and an exclusively
swinging
door.
Central R°V° fireplaces have two
foldaway swinging
doors. There is a main door and a secondary door.
The main door controls the automatic smoke damper trap (see page 10).
ALWAYS OPEN THE MAIN DOOR FIRST
To prepare the fire and add wood or to take full advantage of a traditional fire, raise the door.
Our doors are fitted with a stainless steel handle to facilitate use.
When the appliance is hot, use a glove or the safe handling tool to operate it.
Open the door by a few centimetres before fully opening to prevent down draughts
.
Note
: To prevent smoke from being discharged into your house, never allow your fireplace to operate with
the door half open.
The Totem safe handling tool
The safe handling tool, supplied with every fireplace, allows the various elements of the fireplace
to be handled without risk of burns.
