INTRODUCTION
General
To obtain optimum operation of your fireplace in complete safety, we recommend having it
installed by a specialist who will do the work professionally.
The responsibility of Jidé relates to the supply of the appliance. The installation is the
responsibility of the owner who must have it done according to the requirements of this
notice, and in accordance with the applicable regulations and standards of the different
countries governing the installation, insulation and connection of closed wood-burning
fireplaces, in new and old constructions, as well as smoke flues. The appliance may not be
modified as it could present a real danger and will invalidate the warranty.
A list of our dealers-installers is available on our site www.jide.be/en.
Before using your fireplace for the first time and in order to guarantee its good usage and
operation over time, we suggest you carefully read these instructions for use in order to
familiarise yourself with its various functions and characteristics.
Before starting your first fire, please ensure that no material required for the installation is
in the fireplace.
The paint has not been cured and will consequently harden when used for the first time,
causing the release of smoke and odours. We advise you to make a very strong fire and then
ventilate the room well.
The Décor Plus range comprises the following models:
Décor 67 Plus
Décor 70 Plus
Décor 77 Plus
Décor 77 DF Plus
Décor 16/9 Plus

Technical characteristics and compliance
Combining ecology and economy, Jidé has created the Décor plus range which has an
external combustion air inlet (sealed appliance).
The primary air arrives under the grate to foster fire-lighting in the fireplace.
The preheated secondary air creates post-combustion by reburning the gases, and this
greatly improves the efficiency.
The preheated tertiary air has a “turbo” effect, sweeping the glass from top to bottom to
keep it clean and creates a sufficient supply to feed the fire without primary air.
Ecological solution: cleaner emissions, less dust and CO
Economic: greatly reduced wood consumption.

USER NOTICE
Starting a fire
Before lighting, remove ashes by means of the pull knob (to give off the grid by leaving 2 to
3 cm of ashes in the content of the stove).
The ashtray must be emptied regularly to allow the passage of the air for combustion.
Do not exceed the maximum loading authorized (see page 13).
IMPORTANT actions before starting your fire:
1For the correct use of the appliance, the door (the 2 doors for a double sided) must be
opened slightly, then open the external air inlet to the maximum for 10 to 15 minutes -
the time necessary to reach a sufficient temperature in the fireplace.
2When the window is hot, please close the door (the 2 doors for a double sided). You can
now position the control lever to the centre to obtain reduced wood consumption with
respect to the heat recovered. Your fireplace is now in its optimum configuration: post-
combustion and maximum efficiency. You can regulate the air intake to the right
according to the desired heat.
3Do not reopen the primary air (lever to the left), otherwise risk of blackening the glass
(dirty combustion).
ATTENTION
-The fireplace is designed to be used with the door closed, after starting the fire.
-We recommend using firelighter blocks that stimulate faster and cleaner combustion of
the wood.
-Do not use inflammable liquid products.
-For a good performance do not remove completely the ashes of the stove.

Combustion
Combustion air
This sealed appliance is equipped with a system with external air intake for the combustion
air (A –diameter 100).
The combustion air intake is adjusted with the control lever (B) located on the right of the
appliance:
-Positioned to the left, you fully open the combustion air intake, i.e. the primary air intake
under the grate and the secondary air through the holes in the back of the fireplace.
-Positioned in the centre, you close the primary air intake. The fireplace simply operates
on secondary combustion air.
-Positioned to the right, you almost fully close the combustion air intake.
A
B
Convection air
Originally, your appliance operates with natural convection. As an option, your appliance can
be equipped with ventilation controlled by a speed controller. Depending on the chosen
position, the speed controller determines the forced hot air flow outside your fireplace
(maximum power heating is reached with ventilation on the highest level).
The airstat starts the fan once the temperature reaches 55° in the convection chamber.
The ventilation must always operate when the insert is hot, otherwise there is a risk of rapid
damage to the fan.
The hot air outlets that your fireplace has enable the distribution of hot convection air into
the room where your fireplace is located or into another room. In this last case, it is essential
to seek the advice of your approved installer.

The chimney
The smoke produced by the wood combustion is removed through the chimney flue.
The draft of the chimney reduces the pressure in the fireplace, which removes a part of the
smoke and supplies the combustion.
-A good draft will result in a high temperature difference between the inside of the
chimney and the outside of the house.
-Too great a draft will not enable a high enough temperature to be reached for good
combustion.
-Too small a draft will lead to a risk of reverse flow, fouling of the window and sooting of
the chimney.
An approved chimney sweep should be consulted for any questions regarding the good use
and maintenance of the chimney.
General recommandations
-It is not recommended to greatly reduce the operation of the fireplace to such a point
that there are no flames, a sign of poor combustion (speed of the fan too low). The
unburned gases are converted into soot.
-In the same way, if overloaded your fireplace will not provide any additional comfort
and will lead to a reduction of efficiency, a pointless increase in the consumption of
wood, a loss of heat and abnormal wear of your fireplace.
-Certain weather conditions (strong wind, fog) may affect the combustion and draft of
the chimney and the air intake will have to be adjusted.
-When removing the ash, pay attention to the persistent presence of embers.
-In the event of a chimney fire, the door and external air inlet must be closed (lever to
the right).
-To ensure an optimal use of the stove, the ashtray must be empty every day of using of
this one.
-NEVER use flammable liquid products to light the fire or reactivate the fire!

The wood –Choice and usage
The Jidé fireplaces are designed to burn hard wood logs only.
The quality of wood is important.
“Green” wood contains a lot of water (approx. 50 %)
“Dry” wood, kept outside for 18 to 24 months and well ventilated, still contains 15 % water.
Damp wood is more difficult to consume, presents a lower calorific power and pollutes the
environment.
Damp smoke has disadvantages, for example a reduced draft and the formation of tar in the
flue and on cold surfaces (the window for example).
Split wood presents better combustion and will improve the operation of your fireplace.
The calorific value of wood depends on its type, and the volume of wood required for the
same quantity of heat differs according to this choice. Thus, the “hard” wood varieties such
as beech, oak, whose density is high, will require a lower quantity than other low density
species:
Density
Hornbeam ........................................................................................ 400 –500 kg per m³
Oak................................................................................................... 380 –480 kg per m³
Beech ............................................................................................... 350 –450 kg per m³
Birch................................................................................................. 300 –400 kg per m³
Poplar .............................................................................................. 250 –350 kg per m³
Moisture level
Ideal rate : 15 %

CAUTION
***************************************************************************
The overloading of wood of your stove may have some consequences and the damage
hereafter will obviously not be covered by the warranty;
Deformation of the baffle;
Deterioration of the grid;
Bleaching of the glass;
Degradation of the vermiculite;
Accentuated noise of the ventilator;
Excessive dilation of the door being able to involve a deformation of this one.
***************************************************************************
Moreover, we recommend to you:
- Do not burn resinous or treated wood (e.g. painted wood) or any other material containing
toxic products harmful to the environment, or which are aggressive for the components of
the fireplace.
- Your fireplace is not designed to be used as an incinerator, only burn heating wood.
- Do not overcome the calorific value of wood. Pay attention to the calorific value of
compressed logs. Half a compressed log at a time.

INSTALLATION NOTICE
Preparation –Arrangements
It is important to check the fireplace upon receipt and to ensure the absence of any
damage during transport.
Dimensions of the recess
The recess, i.e. the volume around the fireplace, has to contain the appliance while
providing an additional space of at least 5 mm (left, right, and above the fireplace) in order
to accommodate expansion. There must be no masonry against the fireplace.
Ventilation around the fireplace
It is necessary to ventilate the recess with an air inlet in the base and air outlet at the top
in order to reduce the temperature of the walls and to recover it in your home.
Insulation of the fireplace
The materials used must be non-inflammable. The temperature of smoke to the chimney
being able to reach 300° to 400°, this one could cause a combustion of not isolated
combustible materials.
Provide high-temperature insulation around the fireplace to protect certain materials. In this
case we advise protecting the back, sides and top of the appliance. If no insulation has been
provided, it is recommended keeping a distance of 15 cm from inflammable materials and 15
cm from non-inflammable materials.
Your installer can advise you regarding the protection to be provided. Still with regard to
protection, your installer can also provide a floor plate in front of the insert in order to guard
against the ejection of embers.
Fireplace base
We recommend placing the appliance on a solid flat surface with sufficient strength to
support the weight of the fireplace and the chimney flue. We also advise you to make the
appliance firmer with a wall in order to increase the stability of the fireplace.
The fireplace can be installed at different heights with the help of legs. In the event of an
installation without ventilation, the fireplace must not be placed on the floor. The convection
air intake under the fireplace must not be obstructed.

Installation of a stove without ventilation
Obligation to connect all the outputs of hot air with flexible devices of 1.50 m minimum
length, while respecting the imposed diameter of 150mm and to envisage a grid of 20 x 30 cm
for the air flow of convection via the space planned for the ventilator.
Ventilation (option)
If ventilation is provided, it is imperative that the air intake connection is sealed, outside
the casing where the fan is located. A grate of 20cm x 30cm must be provided for the
convection air intake for the fan.
Radiation from the fireplace
The fireplace emits heat by radiation through the window and by air convection. It is thus
essential to provide non-inflammable materials in the distribution zone.
Sealed connection
To ensure a sealed connection, appropriate to the desired installation and the good
operation of your fireplace, please consult your installer who will give you with the
necessary information.
The section of the flue must be similar if possible to the one of the stove. If the section of the
flue is much more important than the one of the stove, it is advised to tube the chimney on
all its height and to insure the sealing of connection. It is necessary to be vigilant on the state
of the existing flue and more still on connection of the flexible device to the existing flue. A
bad connection can be the cause of disasters. Do use only pipes stainless appropriate to this
use.
It is mandatory to put from the device at least 1 m hard or flexible pipe, in steel or in stainless
steel, to connect the smoke exit.
The chimney must have a normal pulling i.e. that with its power maximum, the depression
will have to range between 12 and 20 Pa.

Fitting
Fitting of the finishing frame (option)
The fireplace must protrude by 10 mm with respect to the plane of the masonry to enable
the correct attachment of the frame.
A four-sided frame is available as an option.
The finishing frame clips onto the appliance with spring supports.
1 Place the frame on the appliance, with the back of the frame inside the fireplace
2 The clips are located outside the body

Fitting of the convection air and chimney connection
Installation of the chimney connection (ensure the good seal of the connection)
Your appliance is supplied with a short stainless steel duct for the chimney
connection. It fits onto the appliance.
When the duct is placed on the appliance, fold back the 2 safety clamps
Installation of the connection for the convection air (option)
Your appliance has 2 hot air openings for the convection
1 Remove the disk 2 Fix the duct with three self-boring screws
Fitting and adjustment of the baffle
A steel baffle is provided posed flat in the stove. It should be set up on its supports with the
part planes towards the lower part and the largest wing towards the glass.
If the draft is too great, you can change the position of the baffle in order to reduce the
suction effect of the chimney. In order to do this, you have a set of screws-nuts to change
the position of the baffle by changing its installation angle. The greater the draft, the greater
the need to adjust the baffle to reduce the passage of burned gases.
Note: Ensure that you do not create a reverse flow by excessively reducing the passage of
smoke.

4 Electrically connect the fan cable and then put the fan in place. The fan is positioned in
the base of the appliance with the help of silent blocks.
You are now able to clean the fan. For the cleaning, proceed with care and attention. Gently
dust the turbine blades with a brush. Fit it all back again.
Note
If you bend a turbine blade, you risk creating an imbalance that will lead
to an abnormal noise in the fan.
It is imperative that the air intake connection is sealed, outside the casing in
which the fan is located. A 20 cm x 30 cm grate must be provided for the
convection air inlet to the fan.
CAUTION: We could not be held responsible for an improper installation. These
must be very neat and made according to standards. Complementary products
used for the installation must be conform to local regulations.
