First fire
To carry out the final adjustments of the appliance (baffle, smoke extraction, door, etc.), it is
strongly recommended that the first fire be carried out by your installer.
This first fire bakes the paint, which releases smoke and odours.
(!) Ventilate the room! Do not touch the paint until the fireplace has cooled down as it will first
soften and then harden permanently.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance
Ceramic glass
To clean the glass pane of your stove, we recommend one of the two following options
following methods.
Dry, using absorbent paper and/or steel wool
If combustion is good (dry wood and efficient management of the fire), absorbent paper allows
removing the largest part of the dirt on the glass pane. The cleaning process is completed with
"00" or "000"steel wool.
Cut out a 30cm piece of steel wool and fold it three times on itself.
Rub the steel wool to remove deposits. Using your index finger, rub the steel wool all the way to
the edges of the glass pane. Always use the steel wool dry. You can use this method on a cold or
on a warm glass pane (wearing a glove).
With a liquid cleaning product
We do not recommend the use of a liquid cleaning product. If this product is poured on the
lower black screen of the glass pane, it may leave marks that will unfortunately remain
permanent. If excessive soiling still forces you to use a liquid cleaner, two precautions are
essential:
- Use a product free of caustic soda. Prefer the biodegradable "BG Clean", available from your
distributor.
- Spray the product on a cloth rather than on the glass pane in order to avoid dripping.
Frequency
The glass pane remains clean longer if cleaning is performed regularly and the fire is properly
regulated. A poorly maintained glass pane is more likely to become heavily soiled.
