OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The stove shall be only operated by adults and according to the instructions in this manual.  Children should not be left unattended near the stove when in operation nor shall they operate the stove. 

 1. First burn

The surface paint has to be burned in. It is important to burn at full power ( bring it slowly to full power) for 1 hour to burn the paint in. Keep the windows and doors open for proper ventilation and do not stay in the room or leave any pets in the room. During the initial burn do not touch the fireplace, you could damage the paint.

 2. Starting the fire

Clean the grate and ash pan from ashes. Open the air intake regulator all the way. Lay some paper balls on the grate, on top of it some dry kindling and light the paper.  Few larger pieces of wood should then be put on top of the kindling.  Once the wood starts to burn close the firebox door and wait few minutes for the fire to establish itself.  Now more wood can be added to the firebox.

3. Operation

Regulate the intensity of the fire only with the air intake regulator. Do not keep the firebox door open. The firebox door should be open only during refueling.

4. Cleaning

The surface and glass should be cleaned only when there is no fire in the stove and it has cooled down. Use a dry cloth or regular cleaners without acid and bleach.

5. Fuel

Use only dry wood

Do not cover the fireplace breathers and the opening in the base of the fireplace or you will damage the fireplace by exceeding the rated output. Heat needs to come out of the breathers and air needs to come to the firebox through the opening in the base. You can store firewood in the opening but do not store paper in the opening of the base.
