5.0 Daily use

Odours when using the fi replace for
the fi rst time
When the fi replace is used for the fi rst time, it may emit an
irritating gas which may smell slightly. This is because the
paint is drying. The gas is not toxic but the room should be
thoroughly ventilated. Let the fi re burn with a high draught
until all traces of the gas have disappeared and no smoke or
odours can be detected.
5.1 Operation
Heating advice
NB: Logs that have been stored outdoors or in a cold room
should be brought indoors 24 hours before use to bring them
up to room temperature.
There are various ways of heating the stove but it is always
important to be careful about what you put in the stove. See
the section on "Wood quality".
Wood quality
By good quality fi rewood we mean logs of, for example, birch,
beech and oak.
The logs should be dried so that the moisture content is no
more than 20%.
To achieve this, the logs should be cut no later than in late
winter. They should be split and stacked in a way that ensures
good ventilation. The wood stacks should be covered to protect
the logs from rain. The logs should be brought indoors during
early autumn and stacked/stored for use in the coming winter.
Be especially careful never to use the following materials as
fuel in your fi replace:
• Household rubbish, plastic bags, etc.
• Painted or impregnated timber (which is extremely toxic).
• Laminated wooden planks.
• Driftwood
These may harm the stove and are also pollutants.
NB: Never use petrol, paraffi n, methylated spirit or similar
liquids to light the fi re. You may cause serious injury to yourself
and damage to the product.
