- IMPORTANT ASSEMBLY INFORMATION -
- Your chimney "draws well", but you probably do not know the degree of negative pressure. The negative pressure or draught in a chimney
is measured in Pascals (Pa). All inserts, closed fires and fires are designed, optimised and built according to French standards NF 13229
(or NF 13240) to operate connected to a chimney duct whose nominal draught is 12 Pa. Very often (more than one chimney in two), the
draught is too strong (over 20 Pa). This can be due to the chimney being too high or an installation with tubing. The fires then operate in
abnormal conditions, leading to:
- Excessive wood consumption: this may be three times more than for a fire operating with a draught of 12 Pa.
- A fire that does not last, burning much too fast and giving off very little heat.
- The rapid and irreparable deterioration of the fire (cracks in the cast iron hearth plate or firebricks).
- The invalidation of the guarantee.
To avoid all these problems, there is only one solution. Have your chimney’s draught checked (with the fire in operation) by a professional
and if it is over 20 Pa, install a draught regulator on the fire’s connection pipe.
- WARNING -
• This appliance is intended to burn wood, on no account may it be used as an incinerator or to burn liquid fuels, coal or derivatives.

GB 5/16
25254-11-08
In all cases refer to the current legal requirements.
All combustible materials or materials liable to be affected by the tempe-
rature must be removed from the surface, or interior of the floors, walls,
and ceilings where the fireplace is to be located (Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5) taking
into account the position of the fireplace in the room. (figs. below).
2.1 Floor
Ensure that the existing floor (Z3) is capable of bearing the total load consti-
tuted by the firebox, the fireplace and the hood. If this is not the case, it
must be reinforced. In the loading zone (Z5), we recommend that an easy-
to-clean, non-combustible floor covering be laid (tiling for example).
2.2 Walls
If, after removing the wall coverings (wallpaper, wood panelling, or fabric wall
covering) from the part of the wall to be occupied by the fireplace, the bare wall
does not fall into one of the categories in the table below, take the action recom-
mended.
Surrounding walls:
For all the walls within the distances given (Z1 and Z2), take the precau-
tions detailed in the table below..
Reminder: do not place any combustible objects within 1 m in front
of glazed fire front
2.3 Ceiling
In the area covered by the hood (Z4), insulate using stiff rock wool, after
removing all non-M0 materials.
2.4 Evacuation of the products of combustion
Remove all non-M0 materials or materials liable to be damaged by the
heat. (cf. FR-DTU 24.1 and FR-DTU 24.2).
If the smoke flue already exists; it is essential to:
- have it swept by mechanical means (flue brush),
- have the physical state of the chimney checked by a qualified profes-
sional: stability, air tightness, compatibility of the materials, cross
section....
If the chimney is not compatible (too old, cracked), it is necessary to:
- either fit tubing using a product officially approved as suitable for this
purpose,
- or reline the chimney,
- or have a suitable duct built.
2.5 Going through ceilings and floors
Smoke flues must be placed with a minimum of 16 cm space between the
inner wall of the flue and the nearest combustible element.
2.6 Exterior air inlets
If the house is exceptionally well insulated and/or equipped with a mecha-
nical ventilation system or extractor hood, an extra exterior air inlet will be
necessary for the correct operation of the appliance.
This inlet of fresh air must be positioned taking into account the prevailing
winds. It must be possible to close it when the fire is not in use, and it must
have a minimum cross section of 2 dm².
This inlet of fresh air must always be open when the fire is in use.

WARNING ARNING
• If the warm air distribution ducts are connected up, the closable grilles must never all be closed at the same time.
• The 4 outlets must never be closed at the same time. At least two of the outlets must remain open.
• If the ducts pass through cold roof spaces, lagging must be fitted.
• Limit the number of elbows to a minimum.
•
Always ensure that the outlets are placed higher than the nozzles.
• For efficient operation, the total length of the distribution ducts must not exceed:
- 6 metres for natural convection.
- 9 metres for forced convection.)
Also ensure that that the incline of the distribution ducts is always positive.
• Reminder: any warm air outlet must be at least 30 cm from the ceiling.

5Assembly of the warm air distribution box
The warm air distributor makes it possible to channel the warm air into
neighbouring rooms or upstairs. Connect each nozzle to a closable grille
(single or double), so as to be able to adjust the flow of warm air according
to the particularities of the installation. The connection is made using
flexible aluminium ducts (not supplied).

15 Connection to the smoke evacuation flue
This is a matter dealt with by French standard FR-DTU 24.1.
The evacuation of smoke includes the connecting pipes and the smoke flue. This installation must allow chimney sweeping and the reco-
very of soot.
The connection must be made in the room where the appliance is located by the shortest possible route, with no negative inclines and must
be visible along all its length.
It will be made using metal ducts:
- black sheet at least 2 mm thick.
-enamelled sheet at least 0.6 mm thick.
- stainless steel at least 0.4 mm thick.
- or using polycombustible rigid or flexible tubing. This type of tubing must be approved for this type of use.
- Aluminium, aluminised steel and galvanised steel are strictly prohibited.
The connection may be made according to one of the methods shown in the diagrams below.
If the draught of the smoke flue has a higher value than those recommended in Table 1, the installation of a draught regulator is obligatory.

Apart from their aesthetic function, the fireplace and hood that surround the
firebox also constitute a thermal chamber inside which the heat exchanges
take place. The fireplaces and hoods offered in our catalogues are speci-
fically suited to our closed fires.
The design and construction to order of a fireplace and hood or a hood
alone remain possible. It must however comply with current regulations.
Before fitting the fireplace around the appliance and installing the hood,
check that all the moving parts are functioning correctly:
• that the door closes and fits properly.
• that the grille and window air controls are working properly.
• that the flue valve operates correctly.
4.1. The fireplace
The design of a personalised fireplace must:
• not allow the fireplace to rest on the appliance (11), as this must be able
to dilate freely (provide a minimum of 2 mm clearance);
• allow an air flow to enter freely into its lower part. In all cases, a cross sec-
tion of at least 600 cm² must remain free (15)
;
• given the extreme heat given off by the fire, Edelroc fireplaces must be
fitted with a metal sheet insulation kit or other insulant (see fireplace
instructions);
• if the fireplace includes a lateral woodbox, this must be insulated on the
firebox side;
• if the fireplace includes a woodbox under the appliance, it must under
no circumstances obstruct the convection air inlet (600 cm² minimum)
and the logs must not touch the galvanised sheet under the firebox.
4.2. The wooden mantel beam
Under no circumstances must the wooden beam (C) be subject to heat coming
in particular from the smoke collector, the pipe or rising air (from the window
convection).
An installation must be made as shown using:
(A) an insulating material such as rock wool
(B) hood,
(C) wooden beam,
(D) standard protection kit, available from your dealer
(E) brick fascia.
The returns must also be protected.
4.3. The hood
We recommend the use of M0 class materials (cf. FR-DTU) (4) as well as the
placing of insulation.
The design of a personalised hood must:
• allow free access to the inside or include a trap door;
• be independent of the appliance, which must not serve to support the
hood. The hood must be able to dilate freely.
• for fires with side opening doors only, the brick fascia or hood will be pla-
ced at least 1 cm forward of the appliance so that air can circulate.
• for appliances with lift-up doors, the brick fascia or hood will be placed
at least 3 cm forward of the appliance so as to allow air to circulate. In
all cases, the hood must include a false ceiling, warm air distributors,
an inspection door.
False ceiling (baffle)
The placing of a baffle inside the hood at least 30 cm from the ceiling is
obligatory. This false ceiling channels the hot air towards the outside, avoids
it being confined to the upper part of the hood and protects the ceiling of
the room. It must be made of class M0 materials and insulated on the top.
The chamber (9) thus formed between the ceiling of the room and the false
ceiling:
• must include effective ventilation openings, communicating with the out-
side of the hood.
• must be airtight as regards the lower part of the hood in order to avoid
hot air escaping upwards
• the sides resting on the wall, the tube (8) and the ceiling must be insu-
lated.
Warm air diffusion
The hood must include, in its upper part, close to the ceiling, one or more
outlets (10) for the diffusion of the warm air, with a total cross section of
600 cm².
Inspection door
The connecting pipes to the chimney must be visible along all their length,
either directly or by means of an inspection door or a grille fitted into the
hood. If required for sweeping, the connecting pipes (8) must be accessible
(FR-DTU 24.2). Access to the draught regulator (inspection and mainte-
nance) must also be possible.
WARNING. In order to allow the dilatation of the appliance, none
of its part must be in contact with the fireplace. 2 mm of clearance
must be provided, notably between the jambs of the fireplace and
the body of the appliance.

WARNING
To avoid any risk of burns, do not touch the appliance and use the cold handle to operate the different controls.
The heat radiation through the glass-ceramic requires that any material that may be damaged or affected by the heat should be removed
(furniture, wallpaper, woodwork ...). A distance of 1 m is sufficient to avoid any risk
5.1. Fuel
Wood
This closed fire is designed to burn firewood, in the form of logs, air dried
(2 to 3 years storage under a ventilated shelter). Choose hard deciduous
woods if possible (hornbeam, beech, …), avoid coniferous woods (pine,
fir), never use soft deciduous woods (lime, chestnut, willow) or treated used
wood (railway sleepers, joiners' off-cuts …) and domestic waste (vegetable
materials or plastics). Never make blazes with armfuls of small wood, wooden
boxes, sticks or twigs as this will cause violent overheating.
Lignite
Used in normal operation (daytime) or for slow burning (night use), alone
or with logs, the lignite briquette is an economical fuel.
Place a layer of briquettes on a bed of embers, covering only the surface
of the grille.
Coal and coal derivatives
The use, even occasionally, of coal or any derivatives of coal is strictly
forbidden.
5.2. The draught
The smoke flue to which the appliance is connected must have a negative
pressure (draught) that corresponds to the values indicated in Table 1. It
should be measured following the recommendations contained in the booklet
provided. The exterior fresh air inlet must be open when the appliance is
in use. This system may affect the draught value and even reverse it. Thus
the extractor must be in use when the measurements are taken.
5.3. The control mechanisms
Flue valve control (except fire 163)
The flue valve allows the evacuation flue to be closed when the fire is out
in order to avoid loss of heat through the chimney. It also allows the burning
speed to be reduced (see Table 3). To limit the draught, it is better to use
the draught regulator.
Air adjustment
During operation, the adjustment must be limited to the zone between
position (0) and the semi-open position (1) by pushing the lever.
Changes in the speed of burning using the controls will be made progres-
sively before the fire is reloaded during the phase when the embers are
burning.
Opening / raising the door
To avoid smoke billowing into the room when reloading the fire, open the
door slightly by raising the handle. The flue valve automatically moves to
the open position. Wait a second or two before opening the door completely.
To avoid any risk of smoke billowing into the room, check that the flue
valve is in fact open before opening the door.
For fires with lift-up doors:
Side opening of the door :
- Close the lifting handles.
- Open the loading door.
Lifting the door:
- Open the lifting handles.
- Lift the loading door.
Ash compartment door
This door must always remain closed whilst the appliance is in
operation. Excess air entering the fire can adversely affect combustion
and cause overheating and deformation of the appliance.
TO AVOID ANY RISK OF BURNS WHEN USING THE APPLIANCE, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE COLD HANDLE ALWAYS BE USED WHEN
MANIPULATING THE DIFFERENT CONTROLS.

5.4. Operation
Starting the fire for the first time
It is the responsibility of the installer to start the fire for the first time and to
measure the draught. Remove the adhesive labels, any cardboard packing
and check that there is nothing in the ash pan.
Start with a gentle fire, then gradually increase the load. This progressive
bringing up of the temperature allows the materials to dilate slowly and
stabilise. Although this may not be visible, the fireplace may still contain a
considerable amount of water. Wait at least two weeks before using your
closed fire normally. Smoke and a smell will be given off at first, due to the
presentation paint, but this will fade in time. Proceed in this way for several
days before using the fire normally. This initial bringing up to temperature
should be done with the windows of the room open. During the first heating,
check the draught against Table 1. Adjust the draught regulator if required.
- Operation as a closed fire.
• Lighting the fire
Spread some crumpled paper on the bottom of the fire, place some small
wood on top and some small split logs. Position the controls as shown in
Table 3 (lighting the fire). Light the fuel you have prepared, close the loading
door and wait for embers to form. When the fire has started to burn well,
load the fire and place the controls on the "normal burning speed" position
(Table 3).
• Reloading
Whenever possible, only reload the fire when only a bed of embers remains
and the flames have died down. Open the door slightly then wait a moment
before opening it completely so as to avoid smoke billowing into the room
and embers falling out. Reload and close the door. It may be necessary to
increase the air intake for a few moments to encourage the fire to get going.
It is preferable to load in several goes rather than putting too much wood
in at the start.
• Wood load
To reach the rated burning speed, the load required is 3 logs representing
12 to 13 kg of firewood
Operation at reduced speed
• Spread the embers into an even layer.
• Load 2 or 3 logs.
• Let the fire start, then gradually position the air control in accordance
with Table 2 (reduced speed).
After using the fire at reduced speed, make a strong fire to heat up the
chimney duct and remove any condensation that may have been caused
by the reduced combustion.
Avoid using the fire at reduced speed for prolonged periods. The tempe-
rature of the smoke is insufficient and it cannot be evacuated before it
condenses in the chimney duct.
- Operation as an open fire (162C / 168C / 163)
Using the fire with the window lifted up means you can enjoy the fire directly.
The output of the appliance, however, compared to its use as a closed fire,
will be considerably reduced.
• Lighting the fire
Proceed as for a closed fire.
• Normal burning speed
The speed of combustion can only be adjusted by the quantity of fuel. In
this configuration, use only wood. Ensure that the air can circulate between
the logs (at least 2 logs at any one time). The correct functioning of the
appliance depends on a sufficient intake of fresh air. The load of wood must
be placed towards the back of the firebox, in order to avoid embers falling
out of the fire.
At night, or even in the event of a short absence, the window should
be closed. In this case, place the controls as for the closed fire.
Never use petrol, alcohol or heating oil …

6MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE
7.1 ASH REMOVAL
Wait until the appliance has cooled.
-Clean the removable firebox grate.
-Empty the ashbox regularly. An accumulation of ash limits the air entering
under the grate, risks deforming the latter and interferes with the combustion.
-Re-place ashbox before reloading.
7.2 CLEANING THE FRONT OF THE FIRE
To clean the door frame, do not use (even slightly) abrasive products, but
only warm soapy water applied with a soft cloth or natural sponge. Wipe
immediately..
7.3 CLEANING THE WINDOW
Clean the window when cold, using a damp cloth dipped in wood ash.
The "clean glass" system that circulates air along the window keeps it as
clean as possible. Nevertheless, a slight blackening may occur in certain
areas of the window during normal operation. When operating at reduced
speed, the "clean glass" system does not work.
7.4 OBLIGATORY CHIMNEY SWEEPING
The law requires that the chimney be swept twice a year (including once
during the period of use) using mechanical means (flue brush). Have the
chimney sweeping book filled out by the company that does the job and
keep the bill.
After the flue has been swept, re-place the smoke baffle if any.
Before using the fire again, check that all parts are correctly in place..
7.5 ANNUAL SERVICE
After each heating season, clean the fire completely and check that all the
moving parts of the appliance are working properly.
