Lighting The Fire For The First Time; Lighting A Fire; Maintenance; Cleaning And Inspection - Nordpeis Lisboa Installation Manual

6. Lighting the fire for the first time

When the fireplace is assembled and all instructions
have been observed, a fire can be lit.
Take care when inserting logs into the burn chamber,
in order not to damage the Thermotte plates. Please
note that there might be some humidity in the insulation
plates which can result in a slower burn rate the first
few times the fireplace is used. This will be resolved
once the humidity has evaporated. It is advisable
to ventilate the room well when firing for the first
time as the varnish on the fireplace may release
some smoke or smell. Both the smoke and smell will
disappear and are not hazardous.
In order to avoid injuries, please be aware that the
surfaface may become hot during operation and
that extra care need to be taken to avoid skin burn.

Lighting a fire

Insert small dry pieces of kindling wood, ignite and
ensure that the flames have established on the wood
before closing the door. Open the air vent control
(FIG 4) before the door is closed. Additional ignition
air is obtained by keeping the door slightly ajar. The
air supply is regulated with the air vent control once
the flames are stable and the chimney is warm. New
wood logs can be inserted when there is a glowing
layer of ember . Pull the hot ember to the front of the
combustion chamber when inserting new logs so that
the wood is ignited from the front. Leave the door
slightly ajar each time new logs are inserted so that the
flames get well established. The fire should burn with
bright and lively flames.
Burning at very a low combustion output and attempting
to burn all day and night increase pollution as well as
the risk of chimney fire. Never allow the fireplace or
flue to become glowing red. Turn off the air vent control
should this happen. Regulation of the air vent control
takes some experience, but after a little while you will
find a natural combustion rhythm.
WARNING:
Never leave the air control in ignition mode for pro-
longed periods as this may lead to overheating.
IMPORTANT! Always remember to open the air
vent control and the door when new wood logs are
inserted into a hot burn chamber. Let the flames
get established on the wood before the air supply
is reduced.
When the draught in the chimney is low and the
vent is closed, the gas from the firewood can be
ignited with a bang. This can cause damage to the
product as well as the immediate environment.

7. Maintenance

Cleaning and inspection

The fireplace should be inspected thoroughly and
cleaned at least once per season (possibly in
combination with the sweeping of the chimney and
chimney pipes).
Ensure that all joints are tight and that the gaskets are
rightly positioned. Exchange any gaskets that are worn
or deformed.
Remember that the fireplace must always be cold when
inspected.
The inspection shall be performed by the
Professional servicemen.

Ashes

The ashes should be removed regularly. Be aware
that the ashes can contain hot ember even several
days after the fire has finished. Use a container of
non-combustible material to remove the ashes. It is
recommended to leave a layer of ashes in the bottom
as this further insulates the burn chamber. Take care
with the Thermotte plates when the ashes are removed,
particularly when using an ash shovel, so as not to
damage them.
Thermotte™ insulating plates
The insulation plates (Thermotte - FIG 3) are classified
as "wear and tear" parts which will require to be
exchanged after some years.
The wear time will depend on the individual use of your
product. Nordpeis offers a one-year warranty on these
parts.After this, replacements can be purchased.
If new plates are needed, contact your dealer.
When dissmantling see instruction on FIG 27-40 and
perform each step in reverce order.

A+B. Bottom front + Bottom plate
Please note: Wood logs that are too long can cause
strain and crack the plates, due to the tension created
between the side plates.

Door and Glass

Should there be any soot on the glass it may be
necessary to clean it.
as other detergents may damage the glass. (NB! Be
careful, even dedicated glass cleaner can damage the
varnish on the door frame).
the glass is to use a damp cloth or kitchen roll paper
and apply some ash from the burn chamber. Rub
around the ash on the glass and finish off with a piece
of clean and damp kitchen roll paper. NB! Only clean
when the glass is cold.
Check regularly that the transition between the glass
and the door is completely tight.
