To achieve this higher combustion temperature,
please increase the fuel quantity recommended in
Section 9, „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.
If the maximum temperature is not reached during
the first heating operation, you may notice an odour
for a short period of time the next time the stove is
used as well.

Lighting the Fire
The firing up phase should be as short as possible,
since higher emissions can occur during this phase.
The slider settings described in Table 1 (see figure
on the right) are recommendations that were de-
termined under conformance testing conditions, in
compliance with the relevant standard. Depending
on the weather conditions and the draught capability
of your chimney, accordingly adjust the slider posi-
tions for your Lagos to the local conditions.
CAUTION!
The Lagos may only be operated when the
fire box door is closed; the fire box door
may only be opened to add fuel.
WARNING!
Never use spirits, petrol, or other flamma-
ble fluids to light the stove.
CAUTION!
The door handle can become hot dur-
ing operation. When adding more wood,
protect your hands with the oven gloves
included.
