RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Fuel
This appliance burns wood logs and logs (well dried!) of
compressed wood shavings.
Do not put too much wood in at once.
You can also use briquettes.
This appliance may not under any circumstances be used
as an incinerator!
2. First fire
The first fire bakes the paint, which causes a release of fumes and odours.
Ventilate the room!
Do not touch the paint until the fireplace has cooled down, as initially it softens
before hardening definitively.
3. With each fire
- Close the door of the appliance.
- Close the door of the ash box.
- Position the grill properly.
- Always turn on the fan.

1 USE
1.1. Description of elements
1. The gate: Never leave it open when the appliance
is in operation.
2. The thermostat: Regulates the quantity of
primary air for combustion according to its
position. Its valve closes and opens according to
the temperature of the combustion chamber. The
control knob is telescopic to facilitate operation.
3. The ashtray door: It gives access to the ashtray
and to the deashing arm. It must always be closed
during a fi re (otherwise the combustion air is no
longer under control and the fi re fl ares up ->
overheating of appliance).
4. The deashing arm:To use it, pull it towards you.
Deashing is done by moving it from right to left.
5. The ashtray: In the form of a shovel to enable
collection of ashes right at the bottom of the
appliance. Monitor the amount of ash in the
ashtray and empty it before it overfl ows.
6. Stainless steal removable cold hand grip
7. Microswitch: A switch that automatically stops
the fan when the door is opened.
8. Fireplace identifi cation label
9. Ventilation
10. Vermiculite: is a natural mineral substance
(without asbestos) which has been processed
and which is completely recyclable. These
insulating plates are resistant to very high
temperatures. The vermiculite plates must not
be exposed to water hence the importance of
having a cover on the chimney.
11. Baffl es: Made of heat-resisting stainless steel,
they lengthen the path of fumes optimising
secondary combustion and increasing heat
transfer. They enable the fi replace to be adapted
to the draught of the chimney.
12. Inner door: These are hardwearing stainless
steel seals, to guarantee air tightness of the
door and trouble-free clearing of smoke from
the glass.
13. Distributors: They enable regular distribution
of primary air.
14. Grills: They are made of heat-resisting cast iron,
and the upper grill is operated by the deashing
arm.
15. Defl ectors: They unsmoke the window .

16. The variator: Enables adjustment of fan speed
1. Speed adjustment.
2. Minimum speed adjustment screw under the
knob.
3. Fuse (Remove the knob, unscrew the plate,
remove old fuse, replace with identical fuse).
Do not forget to calibrate the variator; refer to the
installation manual in options 6.
17. Therocontact:
1. starts the ventilation when the appliance is warm
2. stops the ventilation when the appliance is cold.
1.2. Opening – closing the door
1.3. Fire behaviour
Quality wood is:
- Dry wood that has been dried for at least 2 years in a ventilated
sheltered area.
- Use logs from broad-leaved trees in preference to those from
conifers, which tend to burn quickly and produce lots of soot. In order
of preference: hornbeam, oak, beech...
- It is also possible to use logs of compressed wood shavings and
briquettes.
An excessive load of wood leads to:
- A reduction in yield and an increase in wood consumption.
- A significant loss of heat through the chimney.
- Premature ageing of the fireplace and chimney flue.
When the fire is burning, open the door slowly. Opening it suddenly
causes a temporary backdraft in the fireplace.
To close the door: lift the handle, press the door against the heating
unit so that the seal is gently compressed, then lower the handle until
it is locked.
It is normal for the fan to cut out when opening the door.
The quality and the drying of the wood are of prime importance
for the fireplace to operate at its best (heater power and yield,
cleanliness of glass).

8 Optifire 1000
®
1.3.2. Ideal rate for good yield
1. Choose split logs (1or 2 depending on the quantity of heat needed)
2. Try to pile them in staggered rows to encourage gas exchange.
3. Put the thermostat on 7-8.
4. Put the fan on maximum.
A sign of good combustion with wood, after a phase of degassing where the fireplace interior turns black,
during the actual combustion, this black tar must be burned and the fireplace interior must appear clear,
then blacken again with the following load and then be reburned once again.
1.3.1. Lighting
1. OPEN the air control to maximum: Thermostat 9 and place the grill in open position (lever to the left).
2. Lay firelighter or crumpled-up newspaper. Finish off with kindling. The use of inflammable liquids
is prohibited.
3. Set it alight.
4. To avoid condensation of fumes on the glass and to facilitate starting the fire: Leave the door
slightly ajar to prevent the glass sooting up, as its still too low temperature causes condensation and
deposit of particles.
5. Wait for the kindling to be well lit before LAYING the first logs, choosing the smallest ones first.
6. As soon as there are strong flames and the glass is sufficiently warm, close the door completely.
7. When the fire is blazing start the fan. (Variator "ON" see 1.6). and close the grill and the ashtray.
8. When the appliance is hot, adjust the thermostat to the required position.
9. Adapt the fan speed to the quantity of hot air you need.
For better yield, it is best to have the thermostat on 7-8
and load log-by-log depending on the quantity of heat you need.
This also enables you to keep the glass, bricks and chimney cleaner.
Also ensure that you close the baffles as far as
your chimney allows it (see 1.4 Adjusting baffles).
Maximum permitted load at maximum rate:
Model OPTIFIRE 1000
Maximum load (for reduced rate) 11kg
Recommended load for 1 hour at maximum
rate
4.5kg

Optifire 1000 9
®
!
1.3.3. Reduced rate and long-lasting combustion
Maximum permitted load per use at reduced rate (see previous table).
1. Keep a 3 to 5 cm bed of embers at the bottom of the fireplace.
2. Choose logs with a very wide section.
3. Position the thermostat according to the draught of your chimney. A reduced
rate is generally achieved between 0 and 3.
This kind of load can only be used at reduced rate to produce a long-lasting
fire.
Piling logs in parallel encourages a long-lasting fire. Add more logs when there are only embers left, just
after the last flames die out.
Continuous use at reduced rate may, through condensation, cause an accumulation of soot in
the chimney, and thereby a risk of chimney fire, and dirty the glass more quickly.
Avoid reduced rate during unfavourable atmospheric conditions (low pressure and high
humidity), as there is a risk of backdraft.
CAUTION!
When the fireplace is being used, and even if there are no more flames, certain accessible parts of
the appliance are extremely hot.
Do not leave unsupervised children near the fireplace.

1.4. Adjusting baffl es
Intermediate position: if no backdraft is observed on opening, it is
possible to close the baffl es slightly to increase yield.
Maximum open position: the fi replace is delivered with this
confi guration. It allows easy passage of fumes.
Maximum closed position: if there is still no backdraft in the
intermediate position, close it fully to always have the best yield
the fi replace can give in relation to the chimney.

CAUTION!
- Do not clean the glass when it is hot.
- Spray the product* on the centre of the glass, then spread it using a cloth or absorbent paper.
- Do not use water and/or cleaning products on the painted areas.
- For stubborn marks, it is possible to use a blade for scraping ceramic hobs.
- Cleaning the glass is easier if done regularly.00
*We recommend use of the cleaning product “BG Clean”, available from your dealer. “BG Clean” does not contain caustic soda
and is biodegradable.
AIR DISTRIBUTORS
Where necessary, unblock the air inlet holes of the front distributor with a vacuum cleaner, as well as those
situated on both sides of the grill, which can easily be removed to facilitate the operation.
GRILLS
Make sure that there are no obstacles restricting their movement.
DUST FILTERS (if there are any, they are level with the air inlets)
Clean them with a vacuum cleaner and, where necessary, with water. New filters can be obtained form
your supplier.
THERMOSTAT
Check that it turns properly.
Your supplier is authorised to check the setting.
DOOR
Check that the stainless steel seal is airtight.
If necessary, your supplier can adjust and/or replace it. Check that both the lock and the opening safety
work properly. This is in order to ensure good yield and clean glass.
ASHTRAY DOOR
Check the condition of the seal and if necessary replace it to ensure air tightness. Degradation of this seal
leads to poor fire control and reduction in yield. Check the operation of the spring clips.
2 MAINTENANCE
2.1. Everyday maintenance
GLASS
To clean the glass, open the door
using the following procedure:

14 Optifire 1000
®
PAINTING METAL PARTS
Do not use water and/or cleaning products on the painted areas.
Stained areas may be restored using special B&G high temperature aerosol paint, which is available from
your dealer.
FAN (as option)
UNPLUG the appliance, DISCONNECT the fan, and then REMOVE it. CLEAN the impeller blades using a
brush (COMPRESSED AIR IS PROHIBITED). REASSEMBLE everything.
FIREPROOF BRICKS
A split brick can still play a protective role. However, a missing piece must be replaced in order to maintain
effective protection of the heating unit. Bricks are parts that wear out and can easily be replaced individually.
You are advised to change parts that are too damaged.
LUBRICATION
With frequent use, it is recommended that the following parts be lubricated annually:
- Door (and gate on Opti1000): hinges and lock.
- Thermostat: control shaft.
CHIMNEY-SWEEPING
Have the chimney swept at least once a year, not only to comply with the law, but also for safety
reasons.
- Take note of the position of the 2 baffles.
- Remove the baffles, as shown in the drawing.
- If the third baffle is installed, you must first take down the 2 large baffles, unscrew the third baffle and
remove it, then manoeuvre and remove the two large baffles.
- Place the grill in closed position (wood).
- Close the door, thermostat and ashtray door.
- Simply clean up any fallen dust with a vacuum cleaner.
Take advantage of the chimney-sweeping to check the condition of the chimney and connections.
- Reposition the baffles following the instructions in reverse, taking care to position them as before.
2.2. Annual servicing
DO NOT USE NORMAL LUBRICANT. At high temperatures the latter will dry out and cause seizing
up. If necessary, clean the surfaces thoroughly, then apply a LUBRICANT RESISTANT TO HIGH
TEMPERATURES, available from your dealer.
