First use
A careful start pays off. Start with a small fire, so that the wood burning stove can get
accustomed to the high temperature. This provides the best start and prevents any
damage.
Be aware that a strange but harmless odour, as well as smoke from the surface may ap-
pear the first time you fire up. This is because the paint and materials need to harden,
but the smell disappears quickly - check for good ventilation and draught, if possible.
During this process you must be careful not to touch the exposed surfaces/glass (very
hot!), and it is recommended that you regularly open and close the door
to prevent the door seal from sticking.
In addition, the stove can produce "clicking noises" during heating and cooling. This is
due to the large temperature differences to which the material is exposed.
Never use any type of liquid fuel for kindling or maintaining the fire. There is a risk of
explosion.
If the stove has not been used for a while, follow the steps as if you were using it for
the first time.
Control
Check the stove for signs of correct burning:
• ashes appear white
• the walls of the combustion chamber are free of soot
Conclusion:
the wood is sufficiently dry.
