5.0 Daily use
Odours when using the fi replace for the
fi rst time
When the fi replace is used for the fi rst time, it may emit an
irritating gas which may smell slightly. This happens because
the paint dries.The gas is not toxic but the room should be
thoroughly ventilated. Let the fi re burn with a high draught
until all traces of the gas have disappeared and no smoke or
odours can be detected.
Heating advice
NB: Logs that have been stored outdoors or in a cold room
should be brought indoors 24 hours before use to bring them
up to room temperature.
There are various ways of heating the stove but it is always
important to be careful about what you put in the stove. See
the section on "Wood quality".
Important! An inadequate air supply can lead to poor
E
combustion, high emissions and a lower level of effi ciency.
Wood quality
By quality wood we mean most well-known types of wood
such as birch, spruce and pine.
D
The logs should be dried so that the moisture content is
no more than 20%.
To achieve this, the logs should be cut during the late winter.
They should be split and stacked in a way that ensures good
B
ventilation. The wood stacks should be covered to protect the
C
logs from rain. The logs should be brought indoors during early
autumn and stacked/stored for use in the coming winter.
Be especially careful never to use the following materials
as fuel in your fi replace:
•
Household rubbish, plastic bags, etc.
•
Painted or impregnated timber (which is extremely toxic).
•
Laminated wooden planks.
•
Driftwood
These may harm the product and are also pollutants.
NB: Never use petrol, paraffi n, methylated spirit or similar
liquids to light the fi re. You may cause serious injury to
yourself and damage to the product.
