(warm days, early hours of the afternoon
on sunny days) may lead to lighting and

the firebox air-intake inlets to the full.
• Place paper or a firelighter and
some wood chips in the firebox.
• Light the paper or firelighter.
• Leave the door slightly ajar, the
width of two or three fingers, for about
15 minutes until the glass warms up.

the fire should be gentle to allow the
parts of the appliance to dilate and dry.

appliance may give off smoke and strange
smells. This is not a cause for concern.
Open an outdoor window to ventilate the
