  • Page 4: Operating Instructions

    2. Operating Instructions Please read fully before proceeding any further. Keep this book in a safe place. SAFETY All surfaces of the fire will get hot and cause burning if touched by bare hands. Firenzo recommends using a fireguard. The heat from the fire will effectively dry laundry and other wet articles; however such materials should be kept well clear of the Fire to prevent accidental fires.
  • Page 5 RELOADING Move the Air Control to High before opening the door. Never open the door when a vigorous fire is in progress. Wait until the flames have subsided and the wood has broken up into glowing embers. Reload with dry logs, placing them in a side to side configuration Leave the air control in the High position for 10 to 15 minutes or until the flames begin to subside.
  • Page 6 FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS CAUTION Never use gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel or similar liquids to start or ‘freshen-up’ a fire. CLEANING THE ASHES FROM THE FIRE Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

  • Page 7: Maintenance

    3. Maintenance FLUE Creosote is caused by burning wet fuel, leaving particles and condensation to build up on the inside of any closed solid fuel Fire. Creosote and soot left to build up can cause decreased heat performance and flue fires. Your heating retailer or local reputable chimney sweep will be able to assist with flue cleaning.
  • Page 8 DOOR GLASS This Fire is equipped with a self-cleaning glass air wash system. Discolouration can appear on the glass after a long low burn; 30 minutes of high burn should clear the glass. If necessary, you can clean the glass with wet newspaper dipped in ash from the firebox. Do NOT clean glass when it is still hot.

  • Page 9: Installation Responsibilities
