OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Considering that the fireplace is made of cast iron, tendency of this material to develop cracks due to
sudden and uneven heat loads shall be taken into account.
least 10 hours), burn moderate fire (charging should not be more than half the recommended amount of
fuel for the rated power).
Read the instructions concerning the air supply control included under the titles "Firing and regular
operation" and "Output adjustment".
The interior of the fireplace is painted with a heat resistant paint. With the first firing, this paint gradually
sets and some fumes of a characteristic odour may be given off in the process. Therefore ventilate the
room during this phase.
Warning! The paint might be damaged if the first firing is not at moderate heat.
Suitable fuel
The fireplace has been designed to burn only wood.
Use only well-seasoned dry wood with a humidity level not exceeding 20%, to reduce the likelihood of
greasy soot (creosote) build-up, which may cause clogging of the chimney.
In the event of the use of wood briquettes keep in mind that having a higher calorific value and that the
device can be damaged by overheating.
Do not burn household waste, especially not any plastic materials. Many waste materials contain
substances that are harmful to the fireplace the chimney and the environment.
Also, never burn chipboard waste, because chipboard contains glues which may cause overheating of
the fireplace.
Recommended single fuel loads:
Logs ( ~25 cm long) 2 to 3 pieces
Excessive loads may cause the staining of the door glass.
Firing and regular operation
To start the fire, put a small amount of crumpled newspaper in the firebox. Over the paper, place dry
kindling wood and then 2-3 small logs.
Set the air supply control on the door to fully open position. When firing the fireplace, it is
recommendable to leave the firebox door ajar for 5-10 minutes to avoid steaming/staining of the glass.
Never leave the fireplace unattended until bright active fire has developed.
Close the door when the fire has blazed up. Avoid excessive loads at a time. When reloading, make sure
that there is a sufficient distance between the fuel and the glass
During normal operation, the door should be closed, except when refuelling.
To prevent smoke from leaking through the door into the room, do not open the door and do not
refuel the fireplace while the flame is high.
If you have a damper installed in the flue, keep it fully open until the fire has blazed up.
The fireplace is designed to keep the door glass always clean. The glass will stain only in case of poor
combustion. Possible causes of poor combustion include:
- inadequate chimney design or poor maintenance conditions
- reduced air supply (i.e. air supply control on the door closed)
- inadequate fuel quality or wet fuel
- excessive fuel loading
The glass will get stained if the fuel is too close or in contact with the glass.
Never use spirit, petrol or any other flammable liquid to light the fire.
Never keep flammable liquids or objects in the vicinity of the fireplace!
Bear in mind that certain parts of the fireplace are hot and that the fireplace shall be operated only by
adults. THEREFORE, ALWAYS WEAR THE PROTECTIVE GLOVE!
WARNING! Do not use alcohol and petrol or for ignition or re-ignition
Start the fire with a small amount of crumpled newspaper and dry kindling.
