3. Taking into operation

3.1 For the first time

Prior to taking the fire into operation for the first time, please observe the following:

• The outside of the fire must be clean. If necessary, clean it first with a duster. Contaminations on the fire such

as (building) dust, grit, residues of packaging material and stickers can result in odour and singing hazards or

burns in the paint of the glass pane.

Remove fingerprints from the glass pane with a window cleaning agent.

• The paint of the fire has not yet hardened. Hardening will take place when burning the fire for the first time.

The paint will first become soft before it starts to harden. Until that moment the paint is easily damaged.

Hardening takes place with an unpleasant odour and the generation of white smoke, resulting from the

evaporation of volatile components. Burn the fire (see chapter 5) properly for a few hours so that the paint

really hardens.

• The fire will only start to burn really well after it has been burning a few times. The first few times the glass

pane will steam up a little bit more due to the evaporation of various materials and the lower combustion

temperature. This lower temperature is caused by the fact that insufficient ash has been created.

!Tip

Touch up any damages to the paint before taking the fire into operation for the first time. This will prevent colour

variations.

!Tip

Do not touch the fire during hardening in order to prevent damaging the paint.

!Caution

Vent the room properly because of the evaporation of heat resistant paint.

!CAUTION

Remove pets from the room because of the released vapours when hardening the paint.

3.2 Fastening the cold (door) handle

If your appliance is provided with a stainless steel, detachable (door) handle (see Appendix 2, Fig. 2), you will also be

able to fasten it.

To do this proceed as follows:

Open the door.

Place the stainless steel handle in the correct position in the door (see Appendix 2, Fig. 2).

Rotate the (door) handle in such a way, that the head of the adjusting screw points in your direction.

Use an Allen key to fasten the adjusting screw (be careful, overtightening will cause breakage).

Now the (door) handle is locked to the door.

If you want to disassemble the (door) handle you should perform the above-mentioned steps in opposite order.

3.3 Protection

In order to prevent unsafe situations, you must carefully observe the following measures/instructions.

!CAUTION

• The minimum distance between the fireplace/chimney pipes and combustible objects/materials stated on the

data plate should be taken into account;

• Do not place combustible materials under the appliance;

• Do not dry clothes, towels, etc. on or near the fire in order to prevent fire;

• Avoid contact with a burning fire in order to prevent burns and/or clothes catching fire;

• When operating the fire, always wear the supplied glove;

• Do not leave children and persons who are unable to judge the consequences of their actions by themselves

near a burning fire;

• Avoid working with solvents, glue, PUR foam, etc. in the room where the burning fire is installed.

3.4 Discolouration of walls and ceilings

A brown discolouration is annoying and it is a problem that is difficult to solve. Brown discolouration can be caused

by the combustion of dust as a result of the materials used, too little ventilation, smoking, the burning of candles,

oil lights, etc. Smoke from cigarettes and cigars contains tar substances that can be deposited on colder and/or

moist walls.

!Tip

• These problems can be (partly) prevented by installing a good ventilation in the room where the fire is

installed.

• Use as little candles and oil lights as possible and keep the taper as short as possible. Burning candles, oil

lights, cigarettes, cigars, etc. creates a considerable amount of contaminating soot and tar particles in your

house.
