Cautionary note
During first firing some smoking may occur, this is
due to the burning off of protective/lubricating oils
used during appliance production. Most of this will
have been removed during the production testing
process. It is a wise precaution to ensure that
adequate ventilation is provided during the initial
firing and throughout the commissioning period, this
is particulary important if the discharge air is to blow
into a confined space. This smoking does not
constitute a poison hazard.
