preCautions for tHe first ignition – Cure witH 10 small fires The first ten fires should be light, moderate and not overly loaded with wood. We recommend a small fire consisting of 3-4 logs weighing around 3kg in total. Remember to open the flue damper control prior to lighting a fire.
note: The flue damper must be opened while the fireplace is in operation. The flue damper must only be closed when the fireplaces is not in operation.
paint it is strongly recommended that no person(s) come into contact with the external faces of the appliance without the protective gloves provided, this will avoid any `marking’ on the paint surface prior to it being cured. The paint will polymerise after several fires. Do not scrub or clean the fireplace with any rough surface (such as a sponge). In the case of accidental scratches, make several fires until the paint is cured, at which time you can delicately clean the outside of the appliance with a hot sponge. Do not scratch or rub the fireplace while it is lit. It is recommended contact with the fireplace should be kept to a minimum. Do not paint the fireplace using products NOT recommended by the supplier, please contact your authorised dealer should you require further assistance.
avoid scratches and markings on your appliance by not placing any objects on your appliance during operation and when not in use.
ventilation A strong burning smoke odour may be smelt during the first several fires, it is therefore recommended to ventilate the premises by opening windows/doors in order for the paint to cure. this phenomenon will disappear after these initial burns cycles.
ligHting tHe fire The fire is started with the airways open (except Tatiana 997). Open all airways to allow maximum air intake. In order to limit smoke emission, it is preferable to use the inverted or top-down fire lighting method (see illustration below). An initial load of 3kg of wood can provide a sufficient layer of embers.
ignition instruCtions Before any ignition ensure the primary air is open in order to accelerate combustion and evacuate the fumes. This adjustment should then be reduced as the fire has stabilised in order to maintain a longer fire term and avoid any possible overheating. The door of the fireplace should be closed in order to avoid any risk of back-flow.
Always slowly and gradually light the fire; split wood and fire starters are recommended. It is strictly forbidden to use any volatile substances including; methylated spirits, gasoline, solvents or the likes as these will result in a risk of explosion or thermal shocks by a sudden rise of temperature.
21

4. opeRation & Maintenance
operation & user guide (Continued)
ignition instruCtions (continued) After an extended time of non-use, it is recommended that the firebox be checked and cleaned by a professional to ensure there is no obstruction in the flue and no blocking of the manoeuvring members (damper) before ignition.
damper Control When preparing the unit for use (ignition and wood loading), it is important that the damper is in the open position. While the unit is functioning ensure the damper is in the open position. Once the fire has extinguished, close the damper.
note: The flue damper must be opened while the fireplace is in operation. The flue damper must only be closed when the fireplace is not in operation.

Combustion air settings The combustion air control is located on the base below the fireplace shelf. This mechanism controls flow of air entering the firebox, which allows for a more precise control of the fire. The quantity of combustion air entering the firebox can be altered by moving the combustion air control from the left (low) to the right (high).

aCCelerated Combustion The maximum heat output for JC Bordelet fireplaces is achieved with the combustion air control fully opened. The fireplace can achieve an optimal heat output with two large or three medium size pieces of wood.
medium Combustion This is the recommended mode for operating JC Bordelet fireplaces as it will deposit the least amount of creosote on glass panels and in the flue. The combustion air control should be set to half-open after ignition. The most efficient setting will vary depending on many factors including flue length and the moisture content of the wood. Two large or three medium size pieces of wood should be burning over a bed of hot coals.
22

4. opeRation & Maintenance

operation & user guide (Continued)
slow Combustion When the air combustion control is nearly closed, the fireplace is in its slowest combustion phase. If the fire is hot enough, slow combustion will not stop the fire, but there will be a noticeable change in the flame pattern. the flames will be slow and may appear dirty if the wood is too wet (moisture content of 15% and more). this method of operation is not recommended and will produce excessive creosote in the fireplace and the flue. Creosote may also accumulate on the glass panels.
Caution: continuous and intensive slow burn operation may cause early deterioration of the appliance and it’s components, as well as a chimney fire if the flue has not been regularly cleaned.
establisHing tHe first fire Before establishing the first fire, remove all labels or equipment parts located in the ash box or in the furnace. open the flue damper control.
While building your first fire, keep the combustion rate at a moderate level to ensure that the sealant binds with the paint. all materials should be seasoned.
please note: Before building a big fire, establish several fires. The curing process is necessary to ensure that the paint is not damaged and that the insert is well seasoned. Do not overload the furnace. the optimum amount of fuel should not exceed one third of the insert volume. Before reloading, make sure that the fire has subsided. This will keep the fireplace from overfiring.
flow of air can be regulated by the primary air controls at the front of the unit.
Except for the short time required to build a fire, the fireplace door should be fully closed. If doors are left partly open, flue gas may be drawn out of the opening creating risks from both fire and smoke.

important
Ventilation devices which operate with the fireplace on the same premises or on the premises which share the same ventilation shaft may not function properly.
Please ensure the grate is never blocked.
During installation please allow for access to have the fireplace and the connecting shaft cleaned.
If required, install cut-off and stifling devices.

reCommended fuel This fireplace is designed for wood fuel only. Any fuel other than wood is strictly forbidden. As a general rule it is recommended; use dry, well-seasoned Hard wood with a 15% moisture content or less in order for the unit to burn effectively and avoid any tarring. the heating output of wood depends on the moisture percentage.

reCommended fuel if the wood is piled up loosely, it will burn faster because the necessary oxygen for the combustion will easily reach every piece of wood. this piling is recommended if you want to heat over a short period of time. When the wood is piled more compact, it will burn slower as the combustion air cannot reach all the logs at the same time. this piling is recommended if you want to heat over a longer period of time.
atmospHeriC Conditions Misty or foggy weather may possibly favour back-flow of the smoke, which may be a health hazard. In this case only use the fireplace as is necessary.
for safety reasons, assemblies of appliances and accessories not provided or recommended by bordelet or sculpt fireplaces are not permitted. unsuitable equipment may affect the functionality of the fireplace and can be dangerous in certain situations.
extinguisHing tHe fire Stop fuelling the fire and let it burn out. The fire should burn out without any constraints. Do not close the air slides before the fire is completely extinguished, otherwise it may release noxious gases.
Caution: Do not hang or install objects within 2m of the appliance. this includes paintings, photos, televisions, and any other combustible material.
IMPORTANT WARNINg
storing any flammable materials (paper, linen, furniture, solvents, flammable liquids, spray containers, gas bottle, etc.) close to the fireplace is strictly forbidden. All these products should never be stored even for a short while in wood storages or recesses laid out under or near the appliance.
CAuTION: the window, the front panel of the appliance, as well as all external faces including the facade, will attain high temperatures (above 100°C). uninitiated persons, young children and infants should be monitored at all times while in the vicinity of the appliance.
transition period, insuffiCient CHimney draugHt and poor weatHer Conditions pay attention to the operations of the insert during transition periods and/or when chimney draught is insufficient or when weather conditions are unfavourable, especially during severe cold weather. Such conditions may cause flue gas to flow into the room. to prevent such a situation, you should reduce the intensity of fire by curbing the influx of air into the combustion chamber until smoke disappears. afterwards you may increase air flow monitoring for any appearance of smoke in the room.
maintenanCe
Before the first fires in autumn we strongly recommend cleaning the top of the appliance to prevent carbonising the dust that could then be deposited on the convection grate.
Cleaning tHe glass The window of the fireplace requires regular cleaning with specific products intended for this use. The use of moist hard wood with a moisture content above 15% causes excessive creosote build up on the glass. once again we recommend only burning very dry hard wood.

maintenanCe (Continued)
Cleaning tHe glass (Continued) We recommend waiting for the glass to cool before cleaning it. the use of products that are too aggressive (eg. abbrasive cleaners) may lead to the deterioration of some of the wood heater parts. an effective and ecological method of cleaning the glass is to use a piece of damp newspaper dipped in ash and then rinsing with clean water. You can also use a commercially available glass cleaning product.
flue & firebox flues should be professionally cleaned and checked twice a year, including at least once during the peak period of use and more if required. a professional should also check seals, door ropes, baffle plates and all consumable parts of the firebox and flue to ensure the unit is in safe working order.
do not remove tHe baffle exCept wHen performing a CHimney sweep
Caution: Cracked and/or broken components (eg. glass panels or baffles) may render the installation/ operation unsafe. do not use the appliance if this is the case and contact your dealer.
asH pan The ash pan should be emptied regularly in order to avoid any overflow and clogging of the fire grate. You will find some ashes catching in the cavities between the ribs of the fireplate. This bed of ashes caught between the fireplate is essential as it will create a more effective start up operation of the fire.
forbidden fuels this appliance is not designed for burning the following fuels:
· Solid mineral fuels (all coals or similar) · Liquid mineral fuels (Gasoline, fuel oil, solvents, drainage oils or similar) · Methylated spirit · Creosote- treated woods and too moist or green woods · paper or cardboard · Wood workshop residues (Shavings, saw dusts or similar) · other forbidden fuels that may harm the appliance or the environment
CHimney sweeping it is necessary to perform a chimney sweep and ensure it’s clear of any build up (cresote, bird’s nest, etc). chimney sweeps should be performed twice a year, including at least once during the period of use.
CHimney fires Chimney fires can be caused due to incorrect use of the appliance and lack of periodic cleaning.
Visible signs of a chimney fire include: · abundant fumes · Strong smell of soot · Roaring in the flue · Significant increase in the temperatue of the flue · cinders flying out of the top of the flue

maintenanCe (Continued)
CHimney fires (Continued) Suggested course of action in case of chimney fires:
1. Put out the fire by carefully removing the glowing logs and fully close the fireplace door. 2. Use a chimney sieve screen (metal mesh 2 x 10mm, preferably brass, on a 60x60cm frame).
Place the screen on the chimney top and inspect the lower parts for cracks through which fire flames may escape. a hot screen reduces the draught in the chimney and, consequently, slows down the soot burning process. 3. if required, call the fire Department.

In the event of any emergency, put out the fire immediately by cutting off airflow and, where necessary, cover glowing wood with sand. try to remove fuel from the hearth.
Do NOT use water to put out the fire as it may cause permanent damage.
