ATTENTION!
The surfaces of the panes and the cladding get very hot
during operation: Risk of burning!
3.2 LIGHTING AND HEATING
To operate environmentally friendly and at maximum energy efficiency,
optimal combustion needs properly prepared combustible material, a com-
bustion temperature to suit the combustion phase and the correct supply
of oxygen.
3.2.1 LIGHTING FOR THE NOVICE
• Check whether the ash tray under the ash grid is empty.
• Loosely stack small pieces of split wood at the centre of the fire chamber.
• Do not use spirit, petrol, oil or other flammable liquids.
• Light, but leave the door ajar:
Use the “cold hand” (adjustment lever extension,
included in the fireplace insert delivery) to adjust
the combustion air control to the right (maximum
air supply).
Place firelighters or similar lighting aids under-
neath (paper is not recommended, since it burns
too fast and causes flying ash).
- leaning against the door frame of hinged appara-
tus, with handle in closed position.
- remaining open with a 3 – 5 cm gap in apparatus
sliding upwards.
Once the start-up wood burns well, replenish
stacking smaller hardwood logs or larger softwood
logs on top as shown. (do not fully cover or smother
the embers) Lean door against the jamb only or
leave slightly open for apparatus sliding upward.
Close the door once the wood burns well, leaving
the adjustment lever in right-hand position (maxi-
mum combustion air) for at least 20 – 30 minutes
to allow the fireplace insert to reach operating
temperature.
Once this batch of wood has burned down and
only embers remain of the first load, wood may be
added as required (hardwood would be ideal now.
