Ignition air vent control
As an integrated part of the air vent control, Uno has a
ignition air vent control. By pushing the air vent control
rod all the way back (max opening), the ignition air vent
control will be activated.
Attention! After ignition, pull the control back to
normal.

5. Lighting the re for the rst time
When the stove is assembled and all instructions have
been observed, a re 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 rst
few times the insert is used. This will be resolved once
the humidity has evaporated. If needed leave the door
slightly open the rst 2-3 times the insert is used. It is
advisable to ventilate the room well when using
for the rst time as the varnish on the product may
release some smoke or smell. Both the smoke and
smell will disappear and are not hazardous.
Lighting a re
Insert small, dry pieces of kindling wood, ignite and
ensure the ames have established on the wood
before closing the door. Open the air vent control (FIG
2) before you close the door. Additional ignition air is
obtained by keeping the door slightly open. When the
ames are stable and the chimney is warm, the air
supply is regulated with the air vent control.
When there is a glowing layer of ash, new wood logs
can be inserted. Pull the hot ember to the front of the
combustion chamber when inserting new logs so that
the wood is ignited from the front. Keep the door slightly
open each time new logs are inserted so that the ames
get established. The re should burn with bright and
lively ames.
Using the insert with low combustion effect and ring
around the clock increase pollution as well as the risk
for a re in the chimney. Never allow the insert or ue
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 a natural
rhythm for the re will be found.
IMPORTANT! Always remember to open the air
vent control (preferably also the door) before
new wood logs are inserted into a hot burn
chamber. Let the ames get a good grip on the
wood before the air control setting is reduced.
When the draught in the chimney is low and
the vent is closed, the gas from the rewood
can be ignited with a bang. This can cause
damage to the product as well as the immediate
environment.
6. Maintenance
Cleaning and inspection
The insert should be inspected thoroughly and cleaned
at least once per season (possibly in combination
with the sweeping of the chimney and chimney pipes).
Ensure that all joints are tight and that the gaskets are
rightly positioned. Exchange any gaskets that are worn
or deformed.
Remember that the insert must always be cold when
inspected.
Ashes
The ashes should be removed at regular intervals.
Be aware that the ashes can contain hot ember even
several days after the re is nished. Use a container
of non-combustible material to remove the ashes. It is
recommended to leave a layer of ashes in the bottom
as this further insulates the burn chamber. Take care
with the Thermotte plates when the ashes are removed,
particularly when using an ash shovel, so as not to
damage them.
Thermotte™ insulating plates
The insulating plates in the burn chamber (FIG 11)
contribute to a high combustion temperature, which
leads to cleaner combustion of the wood and a higher
rate of efciency. Any ssures in the plates will not
reduce their insulation efciency.
If new plates are needed, contact your dealer.
A. Smoke bafe
B. Backplate
C. Bottom plate
Please note: Wood logs that are too long can cause
strain and crack the plates, due to the tension created
between the side plates.
Please also note that the Thermotte plates may release
coloured dust when touched. Avoid touching any cast
iron parts with dust on your ngers. Any visible dust
on cast iron can be brushed off with the glove that is
included.
