5.0 Daily use

Odours when using the fireplace for the first
time
When the fireplace is used for the first time, it may emit an
irritating gas which may smell slightly. This is because the paint
is drying. 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 odours can be
detected.
5.1 Operation
Heating advice
NB: Logs that have been stored outdoors or in a cold room should
be brought indoors 24 hours before use to bring them up to room
temperature.
There are various ways of heating the stove but it is always
important to be careful about what you put in the stove. See the
section on "Wood quality".
Wood quality
By good quality firewood we mean logs of, for example, birch,
beech and oak.
The logs should be dried so that the moisture content is no more
than 20%.
To achieve this, the logs should be cut no later than in late winter.
They should be split and stacked in a way that ensures good
ventilation. The wood stacks should be covered to protect the
logs from rain. The logs should be brought indoors during early
autumn and stacked/stored for use in the coming winter.
Be especially careful never to use the following materials as fuel
in your fireplace:
• Household rubbish, plastic bags, etc.
• Painted or impregnated timber (which is extremely toxic).
• Laminated wooden planks.
• Driftwood
These may harm the stove and are also pollutants.
NB: Never use petrol, paraffin, methylated spirit or similar liquids
to light the fire. You may cause serious injury to yourself and
damage to the product.

is lit.
Stoke the stove frequently but only add small amounts of
fuel at a time. If the stove is filled too full, the heat created
may cause extreme stress in the chimney.
Add fuel to the fire in moderation.
Avoid smouldering fires as this produces the most pollution.
The fire is best when it is burning well and the smoke from
the chimney is almost invisible.
