1.INSTALLATION GUIDE USER GUIDE Please keep 1.1 RESPONSIBILITIES 1.1.1 INSTALLER'S RESPONSIBILITIES The person or company that carries out the installation of the fireplace is responsible for this installation, and also takes responsibility for the existing parts (chimney flue…) They are hence expected to check the state of the existing installation and to carry out the necessary modifications to comply with current regulations.
If the duct is not compatible, it is necessary to : - either carry out a casing following a procedure with technical notice in favour of this particular use, - install a duct lining, - or install a new duct adapted to this use. The tubing can descend to the nozzle of the appliance, if it is the object of a technical notice for the use as connecting duct.
1.3 OUTSIDE AIR INLET If the ventilation inside the room where the appliance is installed is insufficient (new house or controlled mechanical ventilation system), an inlet of outside air specifically for the fireplace operation must be added. This air inlet must be of a dimension superior to 200 cm² (Ø160) nominal (actual surface of air passage) - it is compulsory.
IMPORTANT ! Before use, take off the lateral handles of the lining by unscrewing the fixing bolts (2 for each handle), in order to release the counterweights and to be able to operate the door.² Fig.1 1.4.2 FITTING AND LEVEL CONTROL In order to lighten the appliance and facilitate handling, it is possible to remove the refractory from the firebox.
1.4.3 THERMAL INSULATION OF THE FIREPLACE The appliance must be sufficiently ventilated so it does not overheat its surrounding. Thus is is essential to respect the minimum dimensions of the chimney. ATTENTION, THESE DIMENSIONS DO NOT INCLUDE THE REQUIRED THERMAL INSULATION. THEY ARE TO BE MARKED UP BY THE THICKNESS OF THE INSULANT.
1.5.2 CONVECTIVE AIR OUTLET One (or more) convective air outlet(s) of free minimum nominal section of S cm2 must be built to evacuate the convective air. To be built as high as possible in relation to the suspended ceiling, and at least 30 cm from the ceiling of the room.

PRINCIPLE OF CASING COMING DIRECTLY FROM THE INSERT The casing is the introduction, inside the existing chimney flue, of an independent tube. In no case can it be considered as a defective duct repair, and neither to have the effect of restoring its integrity and/or stability.
2. USER GUIDE 2.1. WARNINGS All national and local regulations and European Standards shall be complied with when installing the appliance THE USER GUIDE IS INTENDED FOR THE USER. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. FOLLOW- ING THE GUIDELINES WILL ENSURE THE GOOD OPERATION AND OPTIMUM SAFETY. The outside surfaces of the appliance are hot while it operates and for many hours after it stops, beware not to touch it.
2.4. LOADING When the kindling is burning, load the firebox with some small or medium section logs then close the door. When the firebox is up to temperature (approximately 30 minutes), adjust the primary air dampers to obtain the desired regime. Complete closing of the air inlets leads to very slow operation corresponding to reduced regime.
THE DOOR MUST BE OPENED USING THE COLD HAND PROVIDED WITH THE APPLI- ANCE. BY OPENING SLOWLY, YOU WILL AVOID FUME BACKDRAFTS CAUSED BY THE DRAUGHT, AS WELL AS POTENTIAL EMBER FALL. 2.5. RELOADING NEVER EXCESSIVELY LOAD THE FIREBOX WITH FUEL. IN NORMAL REGIME, THE RELEASED HEAT ALSO DEPENDS ON THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF WOOD USED.
THE USE OF TREATED WOOD, FIBERWOOD AND COAL ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. RESINOUS WOOD CAUSES VIOLENT FIRES AND SHOULD NOT BE USED. YOUR FIREBOX IS NOT AN INCINERATOR (SOME DOMESTIC WASTE AND OTHER PACK- AGING CAN BE EXTREMELY POLLUTING AND EVEN HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH). OUTSIDE THE INSIGNIFICANT INTEREST THAT THESE MATERIALS PRESENT, THEIR USE WOULD QUICKLY AND PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE.
WARNING, DETERIORATION OF THE TIGHTNESS SEALS CAN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE APPLIANCE AND LEAD TO GLASS BREAK- AGE THROUGH HARDENING. 2.8.6. CHIMNEY SWEEPING The law imposes a minimum of two chimney sweeps every year (with at least one dur- ing the heating period), in order to ensure good vacuity and to reduce the risk of chim- ney fire.
