6.3
When the stove is new, for the first 20 hours burning only use gentle small
controlled wood fires (NO MINERAL FUEL) during which the first three fires must
be small kindling wood fires only. This is required to correctly adhere the paint
work on the stove. After the first three fires gently increase the size of the fuel
and duration of the burn time.
Failure to adhere to this instruction will
result in likely damage to the paintwork on the stove. In addition,
during the “break in fires” do not touch the paintwork on the stove as
during this period the paintwork will be relatively soft and will mark
easily.
