IV.- LIGHTING AND REGULATING POWER
A.-Lighting up for the first time
Once installed in its final position, check that all joints have been sealed to prevent
outside air from entering, which would affect the draw.
Before lining the fireplace with bricks or any other incombustible material, check that
it works correctly.
We recommend a slow fire for 3 to 4 hours when lighting-up for the first time. This
will help stabilise the different components and avoid any possible breakages.
It is advisable, when lighting the fireplace for the first time, to open windows to let
any fumes or odours that may be caused by the combustion of the protective paint
solvents or any other material to escape.
B.- Primary air. Regulation
The

means of the primary air valve. (See fig.
13)
To favour lighting-up the fireplace
and to avoid the formation of tar, we
recommend opening the primary air valve
completely to allow the inflow of abundant
air for the combustion process.
This situation must be maintained at
the beginning of each lighting-up process
in order to heat the fireplace and chimney,
which
will
avoid
condensation and creosote.
It

abundant load of fuel when lighting. The
following loads will depend on the heat
requirement desired.
Once the fireplace is hot, you may regulate
the provision of air for the combustion
process.
COMMENT:
Due to its air-tightness and heat circulation
of the Built-in Fireplace EQH during normal
situations, we recommend opening the door of the fireplace slowly when you have
to add more fuel.
C.- Secondary air. Self-cleaning
The purpose of secondary air for the combustion process is to provide
additional air to burn any un-burnt matter after the primary combustion process due
to a lack of oxygen.
This extends the combustion process and improve the performance of the
device.
The provision of secondary air is through the top opening in the BUILT-IN
FIREPLACE EQH and is aimed at the glass pane on the door, creating a layer of
air that will prevent soot from adhering to the said pane. (Self-cleaning) (See Fig.-
