5. STOKING UP FOR THE FIRST TIME
If you have had your chimney breast modifi ed or newly built, fi rst allow your
home to dry properly. Walls which have not been allowed to dry properly are
a magnet for dust such as any smoke particles created when stoking up the
fi replace insert or suddenly opening the door.
Even scorched dust can easily be retained by damp walls. Think also of dust on
the outside of the appliance or on hot radiators etc.
Check that all packaging, stickers etc. and/or all dust and waste has been
cleaned up after the installation work (to avoid it getting scorched/causing a bad
smell).
Check again that all moving parts are in order and that loose parts such as the
brake plate, fl ue gas fl ap, internal panels etc. are in the correct position.
They may have moved during installation.
The fi replace insert has a heat-proof fi nish. It only hardens at high temperatures.
When unpacked, it is therefore not fully hardened. It can easily be damaged at
this time.
Begin stoking up the fi replace insert with a low fl ame (see section 6). Increase
the heat gradually for approx. 2 hours until you reach the correct output. Keep
it at this level for another 2 - 3 hours. The fi nish will now be properly hardened
and can be touched without damaging. The hardening process creates a nasty,
though harmless, smell/vapour.
Adequate ventilation is of the utmost importance.
