cal legislation and/or insurance company instructions: make sure that at least once
per year at the beginning of the heating season your entire stove system -including
chimney- is checked and maintained by an authorized specialist. When intensively
using the stove the chimney must be cleaned more frequently.
c. FiRsT sTART UP
after completion of new building or refurbishment: have the building dried ex-
tensively before using the stove for the fi rst time. Walls, ceilings and/or fl oors are
known for its long time before they are completely dry. Soot, ash parts etc might
easily stick to not completely dried walls.
The stove is made out of high quality steel protected with a coating. During fi rst
heating cycles the coating will harden and the steel will set itself. This process takes
some time. in order to prevent permanent damage to the stove this initial stoking
up must be done gradually and at low fi re. Keep this low fi re for the fi rst four to
fi ve hours after which the capacity gradually can be increased. Keep the stove con-
tinuously burning for at least another three to four hours. During fi rst operation
it is normal that an unpleasant though non harmful odour will be produced. the
above described procedure must be followed for at least the fi rst four times the
stove is used.
D. nORMAL OPERATiOn OF ThE sTOVE
to start the stove:
Fully open the door and the primary inlet valve (see picture 2) by turning the valve
to “+”. place and lit some crumpled paper or fi re lighter sticks (fi re starter sticks)
in the fi re bed together with some small size dry fi re wood (for fuel requirements:
see chapter d.3)
The fl ame and performance of the stove can be controlled by moving the primary
air inlet valve simply follow the + and – signs (see picture 2).
When starting the fi re the chimney and exhaust fl ue is still cold, due to which there
will only be little draught. Create enough start up draught by keeping the ash pan
(little), the stove charging door (little) and the primary air inlet (maximum) open
during the fi rst eight to ten minutes.
after these eight to ten minutes the fi re will burn more extensive, now place big-
ger fi re wood. close ash pan and stove charging door to a minimum.
G
Before starting the stove remove all items such as manual paperwork,
gloves (if applicable), stove tool etc. from the fi re hearth / fi re bed.
Make sure to ventilate the room suffi ciently.
do not use liquid fuel, such as for example alcohol, petrol, gasoline etc to
start the fi re.
