Polaris Inset Eco Manual
• Painted products: the fireplace may emit an irritating gas when used for the first
time, and it may smell a little. The gas is not toxic, but the room should be thoroughly
ventilated. Let the fire burn with a high draught until all traces of the gas have
disappeared and no smoke or smells can be detected.
• Polished Cast Iron products: Condensation may form on the surface of the
fireplace the first few times it is used. This must be wiped off to prevent permanent
stains forming when the surface heats up.
Air Control: Figure 12
The amount of heat emitted by the stove is regulated using two air controls. The primary air
supply, where air passes up through the riddling grate, is controlled using the lower air
control and the secondary air (air wash system), which is supplied to the combustion over
the glass, is controlled using the upper air control.
USE WITH WOOD
1.
Lighting - Figure 12
1. Slide the top air control to open. Open the lower control.
2. Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate with a reasonable quantity, if
necessary, of dry kindling wood. Place 2 or 3 small logs on top.
3. Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper and close the door.
4. When the fire is burning fiercely, add further logs of a diameter up to 10 cm.
5. When the stove body is very hot, close the lower control.
6. The burning rate can now be lowered by moving the top air control to smaller air
inlet.
Re-fueling - Figure 12
1. Slide the top air control to open. Open the lower control.
2. Open the glass door and add logs. (To load fuel, the door should be opened slowly,
avoiding a sudden rush of intake air, so that smoke does not escape into the room.)
3. Leave the lower control open for a few minutes to allow the initial volatiles in the
wood to burn.
4. Close the lower control.
