HANDLING AND USE
3.1
Fuelling
Before kindling, open air flow regulator. For kindling, use
paper and small pieces of chopped wood. Light the paper and close
the door (or leave it half-closed to accelerate flaring).
When chopped wood catches flame, open the firebox door and fill
the chamber with appropriate fuel.
3.2. Safety
Never use water for fire extinguishing. Door can become
extremely hot. Be careful not to get burned, this is especially
important when kids are in question. Combustion chamber releases
high temperature emissions through glass. Don’t leave temperature
sensitive materials and items in front of built-in fireplace.
Empty the ashpan content into the metal or fireproof
container. Seemingly cooled ash can be extremely hot, even several
hours after.

draught first, because good draught is a requirement for proper
operation.
Draught intensity can be checked with a candle (picture 7).
Low draught
Medium draught
Strong draught
Picture 7
Draught intensity depends on:
a)
Chimney functionality ,
b)
Atmospheric conditions (season).
