A NOTE REGARDING PAINT EXHALATION
It is recommended to air the room before the first start-up to evacuate any smells and/or fumes emitted by the paint
during the drying and hardening phase due to the heat.
Do not stand close to the stove and as mentioned, air the room. The smoke and smell of paint will disappear after
about an hour of operation, however, remember they are not harmful in any case.
It is recommended to first start-up the product using fine and seasoned wood.
The combustion air inlet must be completely open.
When combustion has started up, normal sized wood can be introduced.
Each time the wood is loaded, the door must be opened slowly to prevent smoke blow back in the room.
Proceed as follows:
•
place a small ball of scrunched up paper into the product.
•
Cover the paper with a few twigs and a few pieces of wood.
•
Turn the lever completely to the left (pos. 3).
•
Light the paper and if necessary keep the door ajar for a few minutes until the combustion chamber and the flue begin to warm up.
•
The door can be closed once the twigs start to burn.
As the fire gradually burns, add wood. Never overload the product with wood (see the technical data in the table).
As soon as the flames have died down and a bed of embers has formed, load the product normally.
Small loads are preferable to large loads of wood for combustion.
It is recommended to adopt this fuel loading method also in subsequent product use.
To achieve the nominal output and optimal combustion, load the amount of wood and comply with the loading
interval indicated in the technical data table (Chapter 3).
