NOTE!
During shipment, condensation moisture
can accumulate in the stove’s interior,
which may possibly lead to the appear-
ance of condensation or water on the
stove or  ue pipes. Please dry off these
damp areas immediately.
The surface of your stove was treated in a sand-
blasting machine before applying the colour coat-
ing.Despitecarefulandthoroughinspection,there
may still be some residual material in the stove
body,whichcanfalloutwhenyourstoveisbeing
installed.
NOTE!
To prevent any damage, please immedi-
ately vacuum up these small steel pellets
with a vacuum cleaner.
Thersttimeastoveisoperated,theheatdevelop-
ment causes the emission of volatile components
fromthecoating,sealingstripsandlubricants,and
smoke and odours can occur.
Atahighercombustiontemperature,thisone-time
process can take between 4 to 5 hours.
To achieve this higher combustion temperature,
please increase the fuel quantity recommended
in Section 7, „Adding Fuel/Heating with Nominal
ThermalOutput“,byapproximately25%.
CAUTION!
To prevent adverse effects on health, no-
body should stay in the room(s) during
this process unless absolutely necessary.
