Using the inset as an open fireplace

How to remove the door:

tighten the little hexagonal socket cap screw right above lower door hinge on the inside of the door
(figure 12).

body. Lower the door and it is disconnected (figure 13).

Note! This fire inset is tested and approved to be a pure combustive, energy efficient
fireplace. It has a narrower and therefore more environmentally friendly smoke dome.
It requires a strong draft in the chimney to be used as an open fireplace

6. Using the fireplace for the first time

With your fireplace now installed, you can light it for the first time.
Before you do so please remember:
The vermiculite panels which line the inside of your fire insert are fragile and can be broken if
logs are thrown into the fire insert. The vermiculite panels are not covered by the warranty so please
be careful when adding wood to your fire.
During the first few firings, the paint will cure. Ensure that the room is well ventilated during this period
since the paint will give off fumes and a hazy smoke.

Warning: Never fire up the inset to red hot temperatures. This might damage the
metal construction. Close the upper draught control if this happens.
Use kindling or firelighters to light the fire. Open the Lighting draft control (fig 1). Keep the door ajar
until the chimney is warmed. Add larger logs until the fire is established.
Once established, the lighting draft control should be closed. Use this vent only for the first 15 min-
utes after lighting the fire – if used for longer, the insert may become overheated. The air supply
should now be adjusted by using the upper draft control (fig 2) Add additional logs when required.
The flames should be burning lively and blue flames indicate an optimal and pure combustion.
