The Lacunza Loire 1000 features a long, low glass front that gives the fire an almost panoramic place in a custom-built wall. It is the widest model in the series and is suitable when a larger wall area can serve as the natural framing for the fireplace.
Behind the discreet black front, four adjustable fans work to help distribute heated air. This sets the Loire 1000 apart from the Loire 700 and 800, which have two fans. With Silence Mode, you can choose to burn without fan operation when you prioritize a quieter moment. Easy Fire Control provides centralized combustion control.
The Loire 1000 is a loose-fitting built-in insert, not a ready-made wall-mounted fireplace. Framing, convection openings, electrical supply to the fans, chimney, and external combustion air need to be planned specifically for this model. Choose the Loire 1000 over the smaller Loire 800 when the extra width and more extensive fan-assisted heat distribution suit the room's conditions.
Installation and Connections
The Loire 1000 is a wide wood-burning insert that must be installed according to Lacunza's installation manual. Plan the flue connection, external combustion air, ventilation openings in the surround, and access for chimney sweeping before the construction is closed. Follow the model's specified distances to combustible materials.
Heat Distribution and Fans
The model has four centrifugal fans with adjustable airflow. Keep the air inlets and outlets clear and ensure that the controls and electrical connections are accessible. Silence Mode turns off the fans when you want to burn without fan noise; the surround must still be ventilated according to the manual.
Burning and Glass
Use dry, untreated wood and follow the manual's instructions for wood quantity and air regulation. The distribution of the wood in the wide firebox should not obstruct the airways. The glass cleaning system is an aid, not a replacement for cleaning.
Care and Maintenance
Allow the insert to cool before cleaning the ash, glass, and firebox. Check the seals and deflectors and also keep the fans' airways free from dust. Flue passages and the chimney must be accessible for chimney sweeping and inspection.
