6.1 First use
It is important to use your stove in the same way you warm up a car: GRADUALLY and with
GREAT CARE! For the first few days operating the stove you should use 1 to 2 kg wood. A low
flame and gentle heat allow the steel to ease off and dissipate cast iron, as well as ensuring that
the installation as a whole can dry out properly. Even after the appliance has been in use for some
time you should still avoid heating too intensely or too long.
The slight gain in heat is not worth the risk of damaging your stove.
When the stove is used for the first time it must first be completely dried. Warm it for around an
hour with a small quantity of fuel.
During this phase a few unpleasant odours may be released as the undercoat used dries out. If
necessary open a window or door.
Stay by the appliance during this phase and remove any condensation immediately before it has
the chance to break through the paint.
