3. USE
Once your stove has been installed and
connected to the chimney, you are ready to light
the fire.
Before lighting your stove for the first time, please
take time to become familiar with the different
control systems and parts of the unit, how to
choose the wood, how to light it and use it on a
daily basis.
Ensure that the ash pan is empty.
ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND that the stove generates
heat and, therefore, keep children, clothing,
furniture... at a distance to prevent burns from
direct contact with the appliance.
Below, we have included some advice on your
stove and on its use. Please read with care.
3.1. LIGHTING
IMPORTANT! The surface of your device is
protected by a coat of special anti-heat paint
that resists high temperatures. When lighting
the fireplace for the first few times, the said
paint may emit some fumes. This is normal
and is due to the evaporation of certain
components of the paint while it adapts to the
heat. We, therefore, recommend ventilating
the room until this phenomenon ceases to
appear.
It is very important that the first time the heater is
lit, it is done so slowly. This is for the following
reasons:
• Stabilise cast iron parts.
• Harden the joint sealant putty
We recommend that the first loads of fuel be small
and keep the stove on for a few hours at this
intensity
The stove must be closed at all times during
combustion to prevent smoke from leaking
out. Only open to add fuel.
ATTENTION! During the operation of the
stove, the metal parts can reach hight
temperatures. Protect your hands with fire
resistant gloves when touching these parts.
Use the tool provided to operate the stove's
controls.
Steps to light the stove:
1. Place tightly rolled paper, wond kindling or
firelighters together with some small logs on
the oscillating grate.
2. Light the paper or firelighters.
3. Open air wash control n° 1, Ieave the stove
door slightly ajar, open thermostat nº.2 and
open the direct draught damper nº 3 to warm
the chimney (pull the handle to the right)
4. After about 10 minutes (more time for poorly
drawing chimneys) when combustion is well
under way, close the direct draught damper (3)
(push the handle to the left) close the
thermostat n° 2.
5. Adjust the tempo of the fire by means of the air
wash control n° 1.

3.2. OPERATION
The air wash control n° 1 enables the tempo of the
stove to be adjusted by the size of the intake
opening. With the tool provided the control can be
adjusted to the heat output required.
If you fill your appliance with wood and close all
air supplies, you will, no doubt, easily achieve
overnight burning though it is probable that the
glass door will become dirty. To keep the glass
clean, we recommend you do not shut the damper
