7. The first use
* Ask the installer to light the unit to ensure that all is functioning correctly.
* The stove’s paint is cured by the heat when it is first used, which may give rise to
additional smoke. If this happens, you should ventilate the room by opening external
windows and doors.
8. Normal use
Ignition period
a) Open the combustion air regulator;
(b) Place pine cones (preferably) or firelighters on the ash grid at the base of the
combustion chamber;
c) Place firewood of small size, stacked horizontally;
d) The ignition period ends when the stove structure has reached a stationary
temperature. You must then regulate the combustion air intake.
Refuelling period
a) Fully open the combustion air control;
b) Open the door slowly;
c) Use the poker to place the coals evenly on the bottom of the ash grid and the
vermiculite plates;
d) Put new wood on the coals;
