− Always use adequate tools.
− Ensure that the stove and ash are completely cool before starting any operations on the stove.

NEVER START UP THE STOVE
even if only one of the security devices is faulty, improperly set or does not
function.

− Always use original spare parts. Never allow the components to completely wear out before you replace them.
Replacing a worn out part i.e. component of the stove before it breaks down contributes to the prevention of
injuries caused by an accident due to a sudden breakdown i.e. failure of the component that may cause serious
human injuries and damages to the property around the stove.
− Clean the firebox before lighting the stove.

water from smoke cooling. We recommend you to find possible causes in order to establish a normal and proper
work of the stove.
