4 - LIGHTING AND USE
Important at rst start: may come o a few drops
of condensed water from the stove, produced by
the humidity of the environment where the stove
was stored.
It is very important that the rst me the heater is
lit, it is done so slowly.
This is for the following reasons:
• Stabilise cast iron parts.
• Harden the joint sealant puy.
Advise:
• We recommend that the rst loads of fuel be
small.
• To generate draw, heat the chimney by
introducing some burning paper in the gap
between the front and the deector, direcng
it toward the chimney.
• While lighng for the rst me, ensure the room
where the heater is located is well venlated as
the paint work may let o some fumes.
• Keep the stove on for a few hours at this
intensity.
• IMPORTANT! The total height of the re load
should not exceed 50% of the height of the
combuson chamber.
• The heater must be closed at all mes during
combuson to prevent smoke from leaking
out. Only open to add fuel.
• When the stove is running , opening operaons
must be performed slowly to avoid smoke exit
and an accidental burn.
• The glasses are ceramics to radiate the
maximum heat. They can reach high
temperatures.
Daily use
Aer lighng up for the rst me, your heater will
be ready for daily use.
Your heat requirements will be obtained based on
the frequency and the amount of rewood you
load.
When your heater is cold, we recommend lighng
it up slowly.
Overheang.
Overheang means that you have operated
your heater at a excessively high temperatures
for a long period of me. This can damage your
appliance and, therefore, it is a situaon that must
be avoided.
Overheang is the result of excessive draw, due to
any of the following reasons:
• The Primary Air Valve is excessively open for
the type of wood being used.
• The chimney is too high.
• Improper maintenance of the stove, which may
result in air inltraon.
• Inappropriate fuel that produces high
temperatures.
• Door not closed correctly.
ATTENTION!
Any uncontrolled intake of air produces overheang
that can damage the stove.
