.4 STARTING THE FIRE
Step 1 Using the fireplace handle provided
with the unit, slide the glass up.
Step 2 Place the wood logs in the
combustion chamber using the inverted
lighting technique as shown for a better
combustion.
Step 3 Light the fire.
Step 4 Leave the glass door ajar by
about 1" for a minimum of 20 minutes. This
helps create a better draft when starting
the fire and prevents smoke condensation
and soot deposits.

In case of a chimney fire
1. Call the fire department
2. Put out the fire with a type A or
ABC extinguisher (powder, foam
or water and additive) Avoid
using a bucket of water or any
other hazardous method to put
it out.
3. Air out the room in which the unit
is located.
4. After a chimney fire, have it
cleaned and inspected by a pro-
fessional.
5. Make the necessary repairs be-
fore using it again.
If the outside temperature
is higher than the inside
temperature, load more paper
and more kindling to properly
heat the chimney flue and
thus counter the temperature
unbalance. First ignite paper
balls in addition to 700 to 1,000 g
of kindling no bigger than ± 4cm
of cross-section.
The maximum load to prevent
overheating is 2x the weight of
the hourly consumption. Refer
to the table on page 6.
