How does your Totem fireplace work?
2.2.1
Door
Foldaway door
Your Totem fireplace is fitted with a foldaway door. This is used to make the appliance function on a daily
basis.
The foldaway door must not be open when using the fireplace except when loading wood.
The fireplace is designed to operate with the door closed in order to optimise heating performance and
allow you to enjoy the fire in complete safety.
To prepare the fire and add wood raise the door. Our doors are fitted with a stainless steel handle to
facilitate use.
When the appliance is hot, use a glove or the safe handling tool to operate it.
Open the door by a few centimeters before fully opening to prevent down draughts
.
Note
: To prevent smoke from being discharged into your house, never allow your fireplace to operate with
the door half open.
The Totem safe handling tool
The safe handling tool, supplied with every fireplace, allows the various elements of the fireplace
to be handled without risk of burns.
