IMPORTANT INFORMATION 

On first lighting the stove you must be careful not to touch the painted 

surfaces and it is MOST IMPORTANT that the door is kept slightly ‘ajar’ in 

order for the door seal and sealant to cure. 

This will prevent the door seal sticking to the painted body and becoming 

damaged.
