It is important to buy seasoned wood to obtain a better quantity of heat per wood cord.
Use seasoned wood only. Take note that 6 to12 months of drying are needed to have seasoned
wood and quality equivalent to 15 to 20 % of moisture
.
2.3.5 Manufactured logs
The manufactured logs or eco logs can be used in air-tight wood heating appliances only if they are
made of 100% compressed wood residues.
The manufactured logs who use chemical additives should under no circumstances be used as fuel,
because they produce a much more intense heat that can damage your device and avoid warranty.
The manufactured logs who are made with 100% compressed wood residues should be used with
caution. In general, this type of log produces a high heat for a short period of time. The appliance
could overheat if too much log is use simultaneously. It is recommended to start the ignition with a
single log.
2.3.6 Noises of expansion
Noises of expansion and contraction during the cycle of heating and cooling are normal
phenomenon. No need to worry.
2.3.7 Ashes
Ashes must be deposit in a metallic container with a tight lid, remove outside and put on the ground,
far from all combustible materials, until you dispose of them definitively. If ashes are buried or
spread locally, they should be kept in a tight metallic container until the ashes have completely
cooled off.
To reduce the risks of chimney fires, inspect your chimney regularly in order to verify the
accumulation of creosote. To reach it, unscrew the hat. A wood or plastic brush is recommended to
avoid scratches on the internal wall.
2.3.8 Overheating
Do not burn household wastes, treated wood or wood found on a beach that may contain salt or
other chemical products. Salt and other chemical products will cause corrosion to the fireplace and
chimney. Do not abuse your fireplace by burning remaining of construction wood, Christmas tree
and a large quantity of newspaper or cardboard. Intense fire caused by those products may
damage the fireplace and provoke a fire due to the overheating and even a chimney fire if there is
creosote accumulation.
2.3.9 Door maintenance
Lubricate twice a year, or when needed, the systems of bearing located on both sides of the case to
ensure the correct operation of the doors. Use a lubricant product like WD-40 or graphite.
Before heating the fireplace for the first time, it is necessary to remove all the labels and wash the
door with soapy water (soft soap) because the slightest mark on the door will remain forever when
heating your fireplace.
Take note that solid fuel fireplaces must be cleaned frequently because an accumulation of soot,
creosote and ashes can be formed. Directions must be given concerning the measures to be taken
if there is a chimney fire due to an accumulation of soot or creosote
2.3.10 Pane maintenance
Never bang the door and never strike the panes. When you close the doors, make sure that the
logs are placed in order not to bang against the panes, or to burn too close to the panes.
