4 - LIGHTING AND USE
Important at first start: may come off 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 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.
Advise:
• We recommend that the first loads of fuel be
small.
• To generate draw, heat the chimney by
introducing some burning paper in the gap
between the front and the deflector, directing
it toward the chimney.
• While lighting for the first time, ensure the room
where the heater is located is well ventilated as
the paint work may let off some fumes.
• Keep the stove on for a few hours at this
intensity.
• IMPORTANT! The total height of the fire load
should not exceed 50% of the height of the
combustion chamber.
• The heater must be closed at all times during
combustion to prevent smoke from leaking
out. Only open to add fuel.
• When the stove is running , opening operations
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
After lighting up for the first time, your heater will
be ready for daily use.
Your heat requirements will be obtained based on
the frequency and the amount of firewood you
load.
When your heater is cold, we recommend lighting
it up slowly.
Overheating.
Overheating means that you have operated
your heater at a excessively high temperatures
for a long period of time. This can damage your
appliance and, therefore, it is a situation that must
be avoided.
Overheating 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 infiltration.
• Inappropriate
temperatures.
• Door not closed correctly.
ATTENTION!
Any uncontrolled intake of air produces overheating
that can damage the stove.
