    3.2.3 Heat Output The LE LAVAL fireplace is a mid-efficiency fireplace. In spite of the heat that the LE LAVAL fireplace can deliver, it should not replace the main source of heat in your home.

  • Page 7: Combustion Control & Chimney Damper

    3.2.4 Combustion Control & Chimney Damper LE LAVAL fireplace includes a combustion air control that sets the flow of air entering the firebox and control the fire. The fireplace also includes a chimney damper that is not a combustion control.

    A fire needs air to burn. This air must be replaced through the outside air duct (sect. 3.6 p. 25). When operating the LE LAVAL fireplace, open a nearby window temporarily to check if there is adequate air supply replacement.
  • Page 10 G. Poor chimney draft With no fire, there should be sufficient draft to exhaust cigarette smoke introduced under the baffle. Chimneys installed against an outside wall without protection may generate back draft problems which will cause start-up problems. To prevent this, open a nearby window; roll up a piece of paper, light it and hold it in the upper part of the firebox to warm up the chimney.

  • Page 11: Maintaining Your Le Laval Fireplace

    MAINTAINING YOUR LE LAVAL FIREPLACE 3.3.1 Creosote When wood, especially wet wood, is burned slowly without a flame, it produces tar and other organic vapours which combine with expelled moisture to form a black deposit called creosote which accumulates on the flue lining. If ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.

    To install the new refractory bricks, follow the above steps in reverse. 3.3.7 Door Installation The doors Of the Le Laval fireplace are factory installed. To remove the doors, remove the finishing trim then simply pull them up from the hinges. The door adjustment has been set at the factory. If the fit is still not perfect, you can adjust the door using the hinge screws.

  • Page 13: Door Adjustment

    3.3.8 Door Adjustment The doors are factory adjusted for proper air tightness and fit. They may need to be re-adjusted if the alignment has shifted in freight. To readjust the door side to side position, unscrew the fireplace or the door hinges. Move the doors side to side until the top of the two doors are aligned (figure 6A).

  • Page 14: Door Opening Adjustment

    3.3.8.1 Door Opening Adjustment The doors opening angle can be adjusted. This allows the doors to slide in the fireplace without interference or friction with the finishing facing, which could damage the paint. The screws located under the bottom hinges (figure 6E)are used as door opening stops. Tightening or loosening these screws will keep the door handle from hitting the finishing facing and won‟t allow friction between door gasket and hearth when the door is fully pushed in the fireplace.
