Do not overload the stove. If any part of the stove or
chimney begins to glow or change color, it means that
you are overheating the stove. If you detect
overheating of the stove, turn it off to avoid damaging
the cast iron parts.
Please, follow these recommendations:
• Do not load more fuel.
• Open the door of your stove slightly so that more air
enters. This will initially cause the flames to grow and
consume the fuel more quickly, but it will also cool the
chimney and reduce the draft, cooling the stove.
Unattended fires
Many fires have happened by having a stove on and
unattended for a long period of time. These fires
usually occur because there are combustible materials
near the stove, they heat up more than normal when
the stove fire is oversized. The intensity of the fire
depends on several factors.
One of these factors is air. Usually increasing the air
increases the fire. In the same way that if we increase
the intensity of the fire, the air will also increase.
The air can also be affected by external factors such as
wind, outside temperature, air currents ... if one of
these factors changes, the air in the stove will increase.

This will cause temperatures to rise dangerously, which
can cause nearby combustible materials to ignite.
Closing the air control button will not ensure that this
cannot happen. You must exercise extreme caution if
the fire is left unattended.
