3 Safety Safety instructions for the user These wood-fired fireplaces emit a certain quantity of heat. The entire outside of the fireplace becomes hot. Make sure that young children and elderly people keep an adequate distance from the fireplace, so that they cannot touch it and if required, provide for a guard around the fireplace. Never have children operate the fireplace.

5 Lighting the fire 5.1 Fuel The Universal is appropriate for burning wood. In order to achieve a good combustion, the degree of humidity of the wood may not exceed 15%. If this not the case, more smoke will be generated and the fireplace’s heat emission will be considerably reduced, and the chimney will foul more rapidly increasing the risk of a chimney fire.
The levers are operated using the supply handles. Handles at the left and right of the fire bottom. 5.2.2 Starting the flue gas fan and aeration fan In case the fireplace assembly is equipped with a flue gas fan and aeration fan, these two must be activated before lighting the fire.
Daily use: Start Prepare the kindling, and start the EFC by pressing the button briefly. Light the fire: the fan rotates for 7 minutes at full force and then goes down to the level set before. The speed can be modified from 1-9 at any point in time by keeping the button pressed.
5.2.3 Lighting the fire Put finely split kindling wood on top of the grate. Light the wood using firelighters. Once the kindling wood is burning with nice flames, larger logs can be added. These may be 30 cm long and have a 15 cm circumference. Put these logs on top of the kindling wood.
Do not use caustic detergents. The fireplace’s paintwork can be touched up using heat-resistant paint in a spray can that is available from Metalfire. Remove ash residue regularly which have accumulated underneath the ash drawer. At least once every year, the flue gas duct must be cleaned and checked.
