5. OPERATION
5.1. PRE-LIGHTING WARNINGS
Make sure you have read and completely understood the contents of
this instruction booklet.
Remove all accessories and parts that could burn from the firebox and
from the door.
Remove the stickers from the ceramic glass or the high
temperature could melt them and irreparably damage the
glass. In this case, the company warranty does not cover the
glass.
Avoid touching the stove paintwork when it is lit for the first
time. During the initial firing of the stove the paint cures
and hardens. If the paint is touched during this period, you
may expose the steel surface.
Provide plenty of ventilation in the room during the initial
firing, as the stove may give off a small amount of smoke
or fumes during the curing process
If necessary, touch up the paint with the aerosol spray in
the original colour (see “Fireplace stove accessories and
inserts")
Do not stay near the fireplace stove, and as previously mentioned,
ventilate the room. The smoke and the smell of paint will vanish after
about one hour of operation. There are no health risks involved.
During start-up and cooling, the fireplace stove is subject to expansion
and contraction; therefore, you may hear slight creaking noises.
This phenomenon is absolutely normal, the structure being made of
sheet steel, and must not be considered a fault.
It is very important not to bring the stove up to full
heat immediately. Bring it up to temperature
gradually.
This avoids damages to welds and the steel
structure.
Do not demand full heating
performance straight away!
