The risk of discolouration
CAREFUL! After the fireplace’s convection system has
been heated, dust particles, cigarette smoke, candles and
oil lamps can cause discolouration of walls and ceilings.
Ensure sucient ventilation in the room in which the
fireplace is installed.
CAREFUL! When heated, the fireplace’s internal metal
lining can expand. This can cause the layer of paint on the
metal to deform, resulting in damage or imperfections. This
can be restored with a spray can (available from Kalfire).
2.9.1. Decorative elements
Selecting type of wood
CAREFUL! The fireplace is suitable for burning dry wood
(15% maximum moisture content). Damp wood will dirty the
ceramic pane, and it increases the risk of a chimney fire. It
will also form an environmental nuisance and a nuisance to
the neighbours as a result of the excessive smoke and/or
odour that is released.
We recommend using chopped wood that has not
been treated. Do not use MDF, stained/coated wood or
flammable waste, due to the environment and the working
life of the fireplace. The types of wood most suitable for
fireplaces include beech, oak and birch.
Careful! When lighting the fireplace with an open door, use
broadleaf wood, such as oak, beech and birch. These woods
do not contain much resin. Burning resinous woods, such
as pine, larch and spruce, releases a lot of sparks. Kalfire
advises against burning hardwoods. It is better to mix
dierent types of wood, for example, broadleaf wood with
hardwood. These types of wood provide a lively flame and
are better for the working life of the fireplace.
Wood storage
Careful! Always ensure that you store dry wood.
For the wood to obtain the ideal moisture content, all types
of wood must be stored for roughly 2 to 3 years in a dry,
sheltered and well-ventilated area. For example, under a
canopy adjacent to the house. A cellar or garage without
proper ventilation is not a suitable storage area. Also, the
wood should be stored chopped; otherwise the bark will
impede the drying process. Wood often contains insects;
therefore do not store the wood in the living room for
lengthy periods
2.9. Safe usage
There are risks associated with using a wood-burning fireplace.
The temperature of all visible parts of the wood-burning
fireplace can rise steeply, and there is a risk of fire or combustion.
Therefore, be sure to take the following safety precautions (see
Figure 8 and Figure 9):
DANGER!
WARNING
Make sure that curtains, furniture and/or other combustible
materials are at least 100 cm removed from the fireplace (at
least 120 cm for a Kalfire front model). If a fireguard is used,
this distance must be at least 40 cm.
The distance between any built-in furniture and fireplace
must be at least 5 cm.
The distance between any wall, floor and ceiling materials to
the fireplace must measure at least 1 cm.

Danger of combustion
DANGER! Do not touch the fireplace! The fireplace is
hot when it is burning or when the fire has just been
extinguished. Ensure extra safety precautions and safety
measures if less able-bodied persons, elderly people and/or
children have access to the fireplace.
