2 - LIGHTING AND REGULATING
COMBUSTION
OPEN
Follow the instructions below to regulate
combustion:
• Move the regulation valve from right to left
to provide a greater inflow of air to favour
combustion (FIG. 2).
• When lighting, we recommend moving the
combustion regulation valve completely to the
left.
It is essential to provide an abundant load of fuel
when lighting. The following loads will depend on
the heat requirement desired.
It is advisable to leave the door partially open to
avoid condensation and to keep the glass clean
for some minutes after lighting the fire.
Once the fireplace is working at its normal level and
the chimney has heated up, regulate combustion
by means of the regulation valve. When the inflow
of air is fully closed, combustion will be slow; when
the inflow of air is open, combustion will be more
intense.
For the best performance from your appliance,
place the combustion regulation valve in the
central position.
If the compact fireplace is used in a room together
CLOSE
FIG. 2
with other heating appliances that also need air for
combustion purposes, it is advisable to prepare an
additional air intake of outside air to facilitate the
said combustion processes.
The use of one or more heating devices in the
same room reduces the level of available oxygen,
affecting the combustion of the fireplace and
reducing the draw of the chimney.
Actuating the control valve as described in the
previous steps, provides a greater inflow of air for
the combustion process; this provision of air takes
place at the height of the andiron and the upper
part of the glass. Check when loading that the air
inlet at the height of andiron is free from ashes.
Otherwise, clean it to provide a proper combustion
process. This will contribute to the dual purpose of
keeping the glass clean and facilitating the lighting
up process.
ATTENTION! When working, the metal parts
of the fireplace may reach high temperatures.
Protect your hands with a fireproof glove when
touching the said parts.
If you should detect any overheating of the
fireplace caused by:
• Fan breakdown.
• Faulty thermostat.
The fire must be put out to avoid possible damage
to the compact fireplace and to its coating. Follow
these recommendations:
• Do not add any more fuel
• Open the door slightly to let more air in; this
will cause the flames to grow and consume the
fuel more quickly but will also cool the chimney
and reduce draw, cooling the appliance.
The compact SERE 2C has been designed to
operate using intermittent combustion processes.
