Note that if too little kindling is used when lighting, or if the wood
is too thickly cut, the firebox will not reach the correct operating
temperature. Incorrect lighting can lead to poor combustion with
heavy sooting and may result in the fire going out when the door
is shut.
If the house has mechanical ventilation, it may be necessary to
open a window near to the fireplace prior to lighting. Leave the
window open for a few minutes until the fire has caught properly.
1. Open the door completely.
2. The start-up fire must consist of approximately 11 pieces of
very small kindling of varying dimensions. Finely chopped.
Make up the fire as follows:
•
Place a few thick pieces of kindling on the bottom.
• Place 3-4 firelighters or lots of crumpled newspaper on the
middle piece of kindling.
• Place 2 thinner pieces of kindling on each side of the stack
on top (set up like a teepee). Then place 3 further smaller
pieces of kindling across. Place the thinnest pieces of kindling
across again. The wood may need to be positioned diagonally
in order to fit.
3. Place more crumpled newspaper on top of the fire.
The firebox insulation in your new fireplace consists of
Thermotte®, a stone material with excellent insulating properties.
It contains a certain amount of water that evaporates during the
first lighting.
While this happens, combustion may seem to be slow, and soot
may build up on the insulation panels. Do not compensate for the slow combustion by adding to the fire. There is a risk of the panels
cracking if they are put under stress before they have cured.
When the panels regain their original colour they can be
considered to have cured. The fireplace will emit an odour of
excess paint and oil coating that may remain on the panels. The
odour will disappear completely after several fires.
Lighting
Lighting in the right way
It is important that the correct amount of wood is used, especially
when lighting. Follow the kindling procedure below, after which the
fireplace must be burnt with the door closed because of the risk of
smoke entering the room. Always open the door carefully and slowly
to prevent blow back due to the change of pressure in the appliance.
The function of the fireplace differs depending on the conditions in
the room.
Lighting for the first time
CAUTION : Do not build fire too close to the glass to help
maintain proper airflow and minimize cleaning.
CAUTION : Only operate with door fully closed.
4. Light the top newspaper first -- then the bottom newspaper. Close
the door. Allow the wood to start crackling and draft has been
created-- then close the door completely.
5. We recommend firestarter.
