6. Lighting the fire for the first time

When the fireplace 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 fireplace is used. This will be resolved
once the humidity has evaporated. Possibly leave the
door slightly open the first 2-3 times that the fireplace
is used. It is advisable to ventilate the room well
when firing for the first time as the varnish on
the fireplace 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, ignite and
ensure that the flames have established on the wood
before closing the door. Open the air vent control before
the door is closed. Additional ignition air is obtained
by keeping the door slightly ajar. The air supply is
regulated with the air vent control once the flames are
stable and the chimney is warm. New wood logs can be
inserted when there is a glowing layer of ember. Pull the
hot ember to the front of the combustion chamber when
inserting new logs so that the wood is ignited from the
front. Leave the door slightly ajar each time new logs
are inserted so that the flames get well established. The
fire should burn with bright and lively flames.
Burning at very a low combustion output and attempting
to burn all day and night increase pollution as well as
the risk of chimney fire. Never allow the fireplace 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 you will
find a natural combustion rhythm.
IMPORTANT! Always remember to open the air
vent control and the door when new wood logs
are inserted into a hot burn chamber. Let the
flames get established on the wood before the air
supply is reduced.
The Firebox shall to be always closed except
during ignition, refueling and ash removal.
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
