created. Obtain the advise of your fireplace installer or chimney sweep.
• Once the fire has started, shift the air supply lever as far to the right
(maximum air flow) as necessary . The fire must be provided with sufficient
combustion air to stabilize the draught, but not so much that the wood
burns away too quickly.
• As combustion begins to die back, do not be tempted to shift the actuating
lever too far to the left, as this can cause the column of stable air in your
chimney to collapse and the fire to smolder in the fireplace insert.
• If combustion air is closed off too soon, and if the embers are completely
covered when new firewood is added, this can cause explosive combustion
(i.e. an explosion)!
• To prevent the bed of embers piling up to high, the ash should carefully be
removed to prevent the grate from clogging up and to enable combustion
air to flow into the fire without obstruction.

4.2 OPERATION WITH OPEN DOOR

• Open operating mode is only permitted if the fireplace unit was inspected
and approved for this purpose. The technical data in the installation man-
ual (separate attachment) provide this information.
• In acc. with BlmSchV (Bundes Immissions Schutz Verordnung) open fire
areas can only be operated in Germany on an occasional basis.
• Fireplace systems may only be operated in open mode when supervised, in
order to reduce the risk of fire due to flying sparks or hot embers.
• During open mode operation, only burn normal firewood, i.e. avoid conifer
wood that contains resin.
4.3 COMBUSTION AIR – RECIRCULATING AIR –
FRESH AIR
• The combustion air line must always be unobstructed.
• To prevent a buildup of heat in the device, the existing air outlet grilles or
openings must be clear and open when a fire is being lit.
• In the area of direct radiation from a fireplace insert,measured from the
front edge of the fire area opening and no objects made of combustible
materials must be set up (also refer to chapter '10 Technical Data' in the
related installation manual for fireplace inserts).
• Objects made of combustible materials must not be placed on free sur-
faces of the fire area.
• No devices that generate a vacuum on the same floor / same combination
of rooms (e.g. extractor fans in the kitchen). This would entail a risk of
smoke ingress in the living room.
• Outside the area of direct radiation, do not place any combustible objects
or materials on the chimney cladding within a distance of 5 cm if the sur-
face temperature reaches or may reach >85 °C.
• Please note that any fireplace gets very hot indeed when in operation.
heat-resistant glove provided and the 'cold hand' operating handle.
• In Germany, all fireplaces must be operated in acc. with BlmSchV
legislation.
4.4 FIRE SAFET Y / IN THE FIREPLACE
4.4.1 SPECIAL FIRE SAFET Y PRECAUTIONS RELATING
TO FLOOR COVERINGS IN THE FIREPLACE
VICINIT Y
Floor coverings that are not fireproof (e.g. carpets and parquet flooring etc.)
must be protected from spark emission using a covering made from non-flam-
mable materials (e.g. refractory glass, natural stone, tiles, slabs, marble,
granite or other mineral-based construction materials). If this material is
metal, it must be at least 1 mm thick.
The flooring must be fastened down and secured against sideward movement.
In front of fireplaces that are run with open combustion chamber door the
spark protection material needs to cover a surface corresponding to the
height of the combustion chamber base above floor level (H) + 300mm
(minimum at least 500mm) to the front and the height of the combustion
chamber base above floor level (H) + 200mm (minimum at least 300mm)
to the side.
