NOTE!
During shipment, condensation moisture
can accumulate in the stove’s interior,
which may possibly lead to the appearance
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 coating.
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Ther-
mal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.
Make sure the room is well-ventilated and
open the windows and outside doors. If
needed, use a fan for faster air circulation.

for a short period of time the next time the stove is
used as well.
