1. SAFETY RULES FOR OPERATING FIREPLACE 

Warning: This fireplace is designed to be operated with the doors closed. If doors are left open or 
partly open, flames and firebrands may be drawn out of the fireplace creating risks of both fire and 
smoke which could result in loss of life or serious injuries and/or important material damages. 
1. Teach children fireplace safety rules and do not let children under eight get near the fireplace. 
2. Do not use the fireplace under the following conditions: 
    2.1 Whenever a Vitroceram glass door or fixed panel is cracked or broken. 
    2.2 Whenever any part of the smoke pipe or chimney is loose or not in a proper working order. 
3. Never use flammable liquids to light or revive a fire and keep such products away from any heat 
source. Before lighting a fire, make sure there are no flammable liquids, gases or fumes in the room. 
4. Before starting each fire, open the flue damper fully using the damper cane to turn the key located 
above the fireplace on the smoke pipe.  
5. Open the doors with the cool hand tool and the combustion air intake lever located on the lower 
front of the fireplace. 
6. During extremely cold weather, preheat the chimney flue to prevent smoke flow reversal. Hold a 
lighted rolled up newspaper inside the fireplace towards the smoke pipe for a few minutes. 
7. Only use the grate made by JC Bordelet S.A.S. to build a fire. Burn only the quantity of firewood it 
can hold (Max. 9kg/20 lbs). Never overfire the fireplace, if any part of the fireplace or smoke pipe is 
glowing red, then you are overfiring.  Immediately close the fireplace’s combustion air intake lever 
until the system cools. The high temperature caused by overfiring can permanently damage the 
fireplace, smoke pipe, chimney and nearby combustible walls and furniture. 
8. To prevent deformation of the grate, always leave a minimum 2.54cm (1”) of ash in the bottom.

  

9. When using the fireplace for the first times, make small fires (max. 4.5Kg/10 lbs) of firewood to 
give the painted finish of the fireplace and smoke pipe time to cure properly.  
10. During the first fires, you may detect certain odors and the coating and oil protecting certain 
parts may smoke a little.  Open a window, to quickly dispel these fumes. 
11. Expansion and contraction noises during the heating and cooldown cycle are normal. 
12. When the fireplace is in full operation and hot, do not tamper with the damper key. 
13. Once the fire is out and the fireplace, smoke pipe and the embers have cooled, close the smoke 
pipe damper (using the damper cane) and the air intake damper until you prepare the next fire.  
14.

 

When cleaning out the ashes, wait until they are cold (min. 24 hours) before removing them. 

Ashes should be placed in a metal ash container with a tight fitting lid.  Pending disposal, the ash 
container should be placed on a non-combustible floor or outside.  If the ashes are buried in soil or 
otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the ash container until they are cold. 
15.Whenever a glass door or glass fixed panel cracks or breaks, stop using the fireplace. To replace, 
only use only 4 mm (5/32’’) Vitroceram glass doors or fixed panels, specifically fabricated for the 
LEA 998  FIREPLACE by JC Bordelet S.A.S. and able to resist temperatures of 750
