Operation
* Intermittent combustion refers to normal use of a fireplace, i.e. new
wood is inserted when the previous load has burned down to ember
Warning: If the requirements for ventilation are
NOT complied with, the cooling airflow around the
product will be considerably reduced and
the product can overheat.
This can cause a fire.

3. Distance to combustible material

Ensure that the safety distances are respected
(FIG 1A - 1C).
When connecting a steel chimney to the top outlet use
the security distances required from the manufacturer.

Operating control
When the stove is in an upright position, and prior
to connecting it, control that all functions are easy to
manoeuvre and appear satisfactory.
Connecting the flue
Please be aware when connecting the 150 mm flue to
the smoke dome that the flue is placed outside the flue
outlet collar. *Alternative versions exsists due to
National requirements. For the flue connection to the
chimney, follow the recommendations from the chimney
manufacturer. We recommend a maximum chimney
weight of 150 kg.

5. Lighting the fire for the first time

When the stove is assembled and all instructions have
been observed, a fire can be lit.
Take care when inserting logs into the burn chamber,
in order not to damage the Thermotte plates. Please
note that there might be some humidity in the insulation
plates which can result in a slower burn rate the first few
times the stove is used. These will be resolved once the
humidity has evaporated. It is advisable to ventilate
the room well when firing for the first time as the
varnish on the stove may release some smoke or
smell. Both the smoke and smell will disappear and are
not hazardous.
Lighting a fire
Insert small dry pieces of kindling wood,open the air
vent control and ignite. When the flames are stable and
the chimney is warm, the air supply is regulated with the
air vent control.
When there is a glowing layer of ash, new wood logs
can be inserted. Pull the hot ember to the front of the
combustion chamber when inserting new logs so that
the wood is ignited from the front. The fire should burn
with bright and lively flames.
Using the stove with low combustion effect and firing
around the clock increase pollution as well as the risk
for a fire in the chimney. Never allow the stove or flue
to become glowing red. Turn off the air vent control
should this happen. Regulation of the air vent control
takes some experience, but after a little while a natural
rhythm for the fire will be found.
IMPORTANT! Always remember to open the air
vent control when new wood logs are inserted
into a hot burn chamber. Let the flames get
established on the wood before the air supply is
When the draught in the chimney is low and
the vents are closed, the gas from the firewood
can be ignited with a bang. This can cause
damages to the product as well as the immediate
environment.
6. Maintenance
Cleaning and inspection
The stove should be inspected thoroughly and cleaned
at least once per season (possibly in combination
with the sweeping of the chimney and chimney pipes).
Ensure that all joints are tight and that the gaskets are
rightly positioned. Exchange any gaskets that are worn
or deformed.
Remember that the stove must always be cold
when inspected.
