f) Building, starting and maintaining the fire:
DO NOT OVERLOAD YOUR FOCUS FIREPLACE TO AVOID OVER-
FIRING.
Build the fire without elevating it, directly on the grate. For starting the fire, we
recommend using a small amount of fire starter with enough kindling (small
logs or mill ends) to establish a primary fire.
After a few minutes, and making sure the primary fire is well started, add
larger wood (between 3 and 7 pieces, depending on their size), directly on
top, making sure not to smother the fire. Leave some spaces between the
logs for air intake.
To maintain or refuel your fire, add when needed (see note), a few larger
logs.
Note: For the same weight of fuel, 10 logs will burn more intensely (and
faster) than 3 logs, but you will get the same heat power at the end. The log
size you buy will determine the heating and refueling time.
g) Protective glove:
The use of the focus special protective glove supplied with our models is
required upon handling the damper, fresh air controls, fire irons, etc.
