It is essential to provide an abundant load of fuel
when lighting. The following loads will depend on
the heat requirement desired.
It is advisable to leave the door partially open to
avoid condensation and keep the glass clean for
some minutes after lighting the fire.
Once the fireplace has got going at its normal
level and the chimney has heated up, regulate
combustion by means of the regulation lever.
When the inflow of air is fully closed, combustion
will be slow; when the inflow of air is open,
combustion will be more intense.
In order to make the most of your device,
place the combustion regulation lever in the
central position.
When the device is to be used in the same room
as other heating devices that require air for
combustion purposes,
additional inflow of air from outside to facilitate
combustion in all the said devices.
The use of one or more heating devices in the
same room reduces the level of available oxygen,
affecting the combustion of the fireplace and
reducing the draw of the chimney.
On the upper part of the door there is an air inlet
towards the glass

The said inflow of air also allows a
secondary combustion process at the top part
of the device.
Moving the regulation lever as described
above provides a greater inflow of air for
combustion. This inflow of air enters through the
lower part of the log holder which, in turn, divides
it into two independent flows: one to the lower part
of the glass pane and the other towards the centre
of the cast iron base. (Each time logs are added,
check that the said air inflow areas are free of
ash. If they are not, clean them in order to
facilitate a correct combustion process).
ATTENTION! When working, the metal parts
of the fireplace may reach high temperatures.
Protect your hands with a fireproof glove
when touching the said parts.
If you should detect any overheating of the
fireplace caused by:
Fan breakdown.
Faulty thermostat.
You should shut down the device in order to avoid
damaging cast iron

 Open the door slightly to le
