INSTALLATION MANUAL
13.3.2 Smell check
When the fireplace is first heated, an odor may be given o by
the hot metal. This is the result of the ‘burn o’ of the lubricants
and sealants used when manufacturing the fireplace. If an
enclosure has not yet been constructed, these fumes may be
visible around the fireplace.
It is recommended that you open the nearby windows for extra
ventilation and then operate the fireplace for at least four hours.
Because a fireplace is a heat source, natural convection will
occur around it. Solid particles in the circulating air may burn
and settle down on cold surfaces, causing discoloration.
Discoloration is an annoying problem and it is diicult to solve
once happened.
These particles can come from construction moisture or
cigarette smoke, but also they might be volatile components in
paint, construction materials or carpeting. For newly constructed
chimneys or aer a big reconstruction, it is advised to wait a
minimum of six weeks before firing a fireplace. Aer this burn-o
period, turn o the fireplace and let it cool completely to room
temperature and once again clean both sides of the glass as well
as the interior panels.
13.3.3 Sound check
Since it is a meta firepace, the heat-up and coo-down cyces
may produce some (initia) noises caused by the expansion and
contraction of these metals. These are normal but should not be
audible at more than a meter distance from the fireplace.
13 OPERATING THE FIREPLACE
13.1 Before the first fire
1. Make certain that all construction materials have been
removed from inside and around the fireplace and the
fireplace has been cleaned of any construction dust.
2. Clean the glass BEFORE and AFTER the first fire on both
sides of the glass.
3. Properly place, clamp and seal the glass panels.
4. Ensure the receiver is powered with an AC Adapter OR
Batteries, but not both!
Place the two (2) AAA batteries into the remote control and
confirm that it will communicate with the receiver by pressing
the ON/OFF button.
13.2 The first fire
When the fireplace is fired for the first time, one should check the
behaviour of the fireplace to see if all is functioning well.
13.2.1 Condensation aer lighting the fireplace
When the glass is cold, some condensation may appear on
the glass aer lighting the fireplace. This is normal as the
combustion air contains a little water and the product of the
gas being burned is not yet evaporating. The condensation will
disappear as the glass warms.
To ensure as little condensation as possible and, as an additional
benefit, to decrease the release of solid nitrogen oxide particles
which are bad for the environment, the fireplace will start on just
the main burner. During the first minute of firing this will ensure
your fireplace to evaporate the condensation on the glass and
heat up the air in the combustion chamber.
Please note
During the first minute of firing i.e. the initial start up sequence of
lighting the pilot flame and the first 30 seconds until the second
thermocouple has given its clear, it is not possible to use the
'double plus'-button to switch between burners.
13.3 Sensory checks
13.3.1 Visual check
During this first fire, examine the flame for appearance and
quality. Flames may appear blue at first, but will turn yellow
aer 15 to 20 minutes.
Examine the logs for sooting. Too yellow (near orange) flames
indicate a problem with the combustion air. Clear black soot
may then settle on the decoration material. When this is the
case, you may contact your dealer.
This fireplace has a 2nd thermocouple saey system, which
senses the burner flame. The system will turn itself o if the
system does not sense the 2nd thermocouple output within 29
seconds aer the valve opens.
