UNILUX-6 265 Left/Right USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME GENERAL Allow your home to dry properly, after you have had your chimney breast modifi ed or newly built.

UNILUX-6 265 Left/Right GENERAL HEATING TIPS • Burn dry wood only. Damp wood not only burns poorly, it causes more pollution in the appliance (window), the chimney, your room (when opening the door of the appliance, for instance) and the environment. Wood can only be classifi ed as dry if it has been stored under a Dutch barn for at least two years (not covered with plastic).
Page 20
UNILUX-6 265 Left/Right OUTPUT In practice, combustion is all about loss. This entails: • Loss through excess heat leaving the chimney, rather than going into the room. • Loss through insuffi cient combustion, such as CO (carbon monoxide) and soot particles.
If this happens, there is a risk of fi re. It may also damage your appliance and chimney. BARBAS will not assume liability for damage caused by overheating. Burning one layer of wood can lead to varying outputs. When used correctly, one load will burn in around 45 minutes.
