preCautions for the first ignition - Cure with 10 small fires
The first ten fires should be light, moderate and not overly loaded with wood. We recommend a small fire
consisting of 3-4 logs weighing around 12kg in total.
Ventilation
A strong burning smoke odour maybe smelt during the first several fires, it is therefore recommended to
ventilate the premises by opening windows and doors in order for the paint to cure. this phenomenon
will disappear after these initial burns cycles.
ignition instruCtions
Before any ignition ensure the damper and primary air is open in order to accelerate combustion and
evacuate the fumes. This adjustment should then be reduced as the fire has stabilised in order to
maintain a longer fire term and avoid any possible overheating. The door of the fireplace should be
closed in order to avoid any risk of back flow.
Always slowly and gradually light the fire; split wood and fire starters are recommended. It is strictly
forbidden to use any volatile substances including; methylated spirits, gasoline, solvents or the likes as
these will result in a risk of explosion or thermal shocks by a sudden rise of temperature.
After an extended time of non-use, it is recommended that the firebox be checked and cleaned by a
professional to ensure there is no obstruction in the flue and no blocking of the manoeuvring members
(damper) before ignition.
reCommended fuel
This fireplace is designed for only wood fuel. Any fuel other than wood is strictly forbidden.
as a general rule it is recommended; use dry, well-seasoned HarD WooD with a 15% moisture content
in order for the unit to burn effectively and avoid any tarring. the heating output of wood depends on the
moisture percentage.

swing door:
Do not open the door too fast as this will create a suction of smoke inside the room. it is
recommended that you open the damper prior to opening the door.
lift/swing door:
Slowly raise the door; do not open quickly whilst the fire is alight. Completely open
the damper prior to opening the door. in the case of the unit being used with the door open, please be
aware that the heating capacity will be significantly reduced. This configuration is only justified for
visual comfort of the fire and is NOT recommended for permanent use.
double sided fireboX:
never leave both doors open at the same time.
