first usage
a careful start pays off� Start with a small fire, so that the wood burning stove can get
accustomed to the high temperature� this gives the best start and any damage is avoided�
be aware that a strange but harmless odour and smoke concoction may emanate from
the surface of the stove, the first time you fire up� this is because the paint and materi-
als need to harden� the odour disappears quickly, but you should check the ventilation
and draught, if possible� See also, the Important warning notice below about persistent
fumes�
during this process you must be careful not to touch the painted surfaces, and it is recom-
mended that you regularly open and close the door to prevent the door seal from sticking�
the stove may also produce “clicking noises” during heating and cooling, caused by the
large temperature differences which the material is subjected to�
never use any type of liquid fuel for kindling or maintaining the fire� there is a danger of
explosion�
the stove gets very hot when in use always wear protective gloves when tending the
stove�
If the stove has not been used for a while, follow the steps as if you were using it for the
first time�
