3.2 Use
Odours when using the fireplace for the first time
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.
Air Control: (
The amount of heat emitted by the stove is regulated using three air controls. The
primary air supply, where air passes up through the riddling grate, is controlled using the
air control situated in the lower door, and the secondary air (airwash system), which is
supplied to the combustion over the glass, is controlled using the upper air control. A
third air inlet (normally named secondary air) provides a constant, pre‐heated air supply
to the combustion just above the fire, is controlled using the air control below ash lip.
This air supply normally does not need to be regulated. It's necessary to keep this air
supply always open.
3.2.1 Use with wood
Lighting (Figure 4)

Slide the top air control to open. Open the lower control .

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.

Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper and close the door.

When the fire is burning fiercely, add further logs of a diameter up to 10 cms.

When the stove body is very hot, close the lower door control.

The burning rate can now be reduced by moving the top air control to smaller air
inlet.
Re‐fuelling (Figure 4
• Open the lower control.
• 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 the smoke does not escape
into the room.
• Leave the lower control open for a few minutes to allow the initial volatiles in
the wood to burn.
• Close the lower door control.
