On a properly installed connector install pipes to discharge heated air to other rooms. For the proper
operation of the system, it is necessary to ensure the return of cool air to the room where the stove is
located.
3. START-UP
After the stove has been mounted and connected to the chimney, the first start-up of the stove must
be performed by an installer or a qualified service technician.
As part of the start-up procedure, the installer should show the User how to operate the stove
correctly.
The installer is obliged to refuse to put the stove into use if he or she finds any assembly-related
irregularities which make it unsafe to use.
A correctly performed start-up should be confirmed in writing in the guarantee card.
3.1. Getting ready for the start-up
Before lighting the stove for the first time, it is necessary:
• to remove any labels, paper stickers and accessories from the body of the stove or hearth to
eliminate the risk of fire; the same applies to transport safety devices;
• to check if the deflectors, ceramic fittings are mounted correctly and were not dislodged
from their correct position during installation (any discovered mounting errors must be
corrected). Non-removal of such errors may hinder proper functioning of the stove. In the
case of stove with multi-pane glass doors, it should be checked if particular glass panes did
not become loose during transport or use;
• to check the operation of:
− mechanism regulating the air inflow into the combustion chamber;
− front door closing mechanism (hinges. handle);
• to check the correctness of the installation in terms of the following safety related issues:
− is the stove levelled;
− is a ventilation system properly installed;
− is the connection to the chimney sealed properly;
− has the stove housing been built correctly.
