CURING INSTRUCTIONS
Upon installation of your new fireplace,
there are still small amounts of
moisture needing to work their way out
of the firebox. If you immediately begin
to build large fires in your fireplace, you
will compromise your fireplace
longevity and can ultimately cause
damage, including cracking. It is then
important to build fires slowly to cure
the fireplace in preparation for use.
The first day of firing, the temperature
should stay close to 100˚C without
exceeding it. A suggested way to do so
is by building a fire in a separate
location, and placing the hot coals into
the fireplace floor. Gradually build up
from this point to larger and larger fires
for 4-5 days.
Due to thermal expansion, surface
cracks may appear in the firebox. This
is normal, and will not affect the quality
of your fireplace.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your fireplace is designed to be used
with natural, dry wood products only.
DO NOT USE: charcoal, pressure
treated lumber, chipped wood
products, sappy wood (such as pine),
Laminated wood, or any material other
than medium or hard natural firewood.
Using wood that is not dry will cause
the fireplace to emit a considerable
amount of smoke and could also cause
permanent damage.
WARNING: DO NOT ADD ANY
ACCELERANTS OR OTHER
NON-WOOD PRODUCTS FOR
FIRING, as this can compromise
the integrity of the fireplace firebox,
leading to risk of product failure
and personal injury. Make sure to
avoid extreme heat when in use to
prolong the life of your fireplace.
DO NOT USE LIQUID FUEL
(firelighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene or
similar liquids) to start or maintain a
fire. Do not use water to lower the
temperature or extinguish fire in a
fireplace.
Size of fire should never be bigger than
the back of the firebox.
DO NOT ELEVATE THE FIRE.
Fire must be built directly on the
fireplace floor.
DO NOT BUILD THE FIRE SO THAT
FLAMES ESCAPE THROUGH THE
FIREBOX OPENING AS SEEN IN
THE RED HIGHLIGHT BELOW.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure that the fireplace is
completely cool before inspecting and
cleaning it.
Cleaning the Fireplace
1. Make sure that your fireplace is
completely cool before inspecting
and cleaning it. If fire previously
made was a large one, probe
through the ashes with a poker or
fireplace shovel. Slowly shovel the
ashes into a metal container with a
tight-fitting lid. This container should
be stored on a non-combustible
surface, away from fire hazards.
Ensure ashes are completely cold
before disposing of them
appropriately.
2. Use a wire brush to clean the
firebox floor.
3. If you have doubts on your ability to
clean the fireplace, have it cleaned
by a professional. If you were to
clean it yourself, make sure to use a
brush to clean the inside and outside
of your fireplace.
4. If smoke marks begin to appear on
the exterior of the fireplace, apply
the silicone provided from the
interior of the fireplace to fill in any
gaps between the Antico Stackers.
