This fireplace was designed to offer you maximum pleasure, comfort and safety.

The paint is not oven-baked and it is therefore relatively fragile but will harden when it is heated for the first few times. Consequently, take care when handling the appliance when it is being fitted. A paint spray supplied with the appliance allows you to touch up the paintwork, if necessary. When lighting the fire for the first time, some unpleasant smoke or smells may be released. Different species of wood have different heat capacities and they do not all burn in the same way. Generally speaking, you should opt for hard wood such as oak, beech, ash, hornbeam or fruit trees. They provide lovely flames and a lot of embers which will glow for a long, long time. Whatever wood you choose to use, it must be really dry. Damp wood heats a great deal less: a best part of energy is only used to evaporate the water that it contains. The sapwood ­ as the soft wood just beneath the bark is called ­ can contain up to 75% water. Furthermore, moist wood releases a lot of smoke and not many flames and it causes the fireplace, its window and the chimney to get dirty and soot up. The big logs should be split for the wood to dry better. The wood should be covered or sheltered from the rain, but well ventilated.
