5. OPERATION
5.1.
WARNINGS PRIOR TO START-UP
Make sure you have read and fully understood the contents of this
instruction manual.
Remove all components which could burn from the stove and door
(instructions and various adhesive labels).
Remove the stickers from the glass ceramic otherwise the high
temperature could melt them and cause irreparable damage to the
glass. If this is the case, MCZ will not guarantee the glass.
The stove can be positioned either in a corner or up against a wall.
Avoid touching the stove during the initial start-up, since the
paint completes its drying process during this time and
hardens.
It is good practice to guarantee the efficient ventilation in the
room during the initial start-up, since the stove will release
some smoke and paint smells.
If necessary, touch up the paint with the spray can of the
dedicated colour. (see "Stove accessories”)
Do not stand close to the stove and as mentioned, air the room. The
smoke and paint smell will disappear after about an hour of operation,
but remember that they are not in any case harmful.
The stove will undergo expansion and contraction
during the start-up and cooling phases, so it may
squeak slightly.
This is completely normal, since the structure is made
of laminated steel and should therefore not be
considered a defect.
It is extremely important to make sure you do not
immediately overheat the stove, but instead raise the
temperature gradually.
This will avoid any damage to the welding and to the
steel structure.
Do not try to achieve the maximum
heating efficiency immediately!
5.2.
FUEL
FUEL: Wood
In order to get the best efficiency from your stove, it is of vital
importance that you use
wood
with appropriate characteristics.
Heating wood can be used, such as
oak-beech-ash-robinia
or non-
resinated pressed logs.
The latter have a high calorific value and
