3. TAKING THE APPLIANCE IN OPERATION
The appliance could make noises when heating up or cooling down, when it is being controlled and
during combustion. These noises cannot be prevented.
3.1. For The First Time
When using a chimney breast, it has to be dry before you take the appliance into operation. This is to
prevent shrinkage cracks.
!Caution
If the chimney breast is made of stone-like materials or has been finished in stucco, it should be left to
dry for at least 6 weeks prior to taking it into operation.
In order to be able to use the wireless remote control, you must set a communication code between the
remote control and the receiver, prior to putting the appliance into operation; for this, see section 4.2.1,
Setting the communication code.
When the appliance is stoked up for the first time, an unpleasant smell may occur as volatile
components evaporate from paint, materials, etc. This may take a number of hours.
!Caution
– Pets and birds in particular can be sensitive to the vapours that are released;
– In the beginning the flame image is affected by the evaporation of volatile components.
After burning the appliance for the first time, allow it to cool down to room temperature and clean the
glass pane(s); see chapter 5.
!Tip
– Set the appliance to its highest level to speed up the evaporation process;
– Keep the room well ventilated;
– Remove pets from the room.
3.2. Protection
To prevent unsafe situations, you should carefully observe the following measures/instructions.
!Caution
– Make sure that combustible objects and/or materials such as curtains have a distance from the
appliance and/or the flues of at least 50 cm;
– Do not dry clothes, towels etc. on and/or near the appliance, in order to prevent fire;
– Avoid contact with hot parts of the appliance to prevent burns;
– Do not leave children and persons who cannot judge the consequences of their actions alone with a
burning appliance;
– Place the remote control out of reach from children and persons who cannot properly judge the
consequences of their actions.
3.3. Discoloration Of Walls And Ceilings
A brown discoloration is an unpleasant and difficult to solve problem. Brown discoloration can be
caused by burning substances as a result of insufficient ventilation, smoking, burning candles, oil
lamps, etc. Cigarette and cigar smoke contain tar substances that are deposited on colder walls.
These problems can be (partly) solved through a proper ventilation of the room where the appliance is
placed.

�If the appliance will not be used for an extended period of time, we recommend removing the
batteries from the remote control and receiver. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to
leaking batteries.

surfaces, including the glass pane, can become hotter than 100C°. It is recommended to always place a
protective grating in front of the appliance when there are children, elderly people or handicapped
persons in the same room as the appliance. If it is possible that vulnerable people are regularly present
in the room with no supervision, a fixed guard should be mounted around the appliance.
