How to use

To operate the Sourcing REMUS fireplace, ensure the unit is placed on a non-combustible floor surface with adequate clearance from surrounding walls and furniture. Begin by placing small pieces of kindling and dry wood in the combustion chamber, ensuring proper airflow. Ignite the fire using appropriate fire-starting materials and gradually add larger logs once a stable bed of embers has formed. Adjust the air intake controls to regulate the burn rate and heat output according to your comfort requirements. Always ensure the chimney or flue system is clean and properly connected before ignition.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your room size is appropriate for a 16 kW output to avoid overheating
• Verify that your home has a compatible chimney or flue system for wood-burning appliances
• Check local building regulations regarding the installation of solid fuel heaters
• Confirm that you have a reliable supply of dry, seasoned firewood

Usage recommendations

Regular maintenance, including the removal of ash and the inspection of the flue, is essential for safe and efficient operation. Only use dry, seasoned wood with low moisture content to prevent creosote buildup and ensure optimal heating performance.
