LIGHTING YOUR STOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before lighting your stove for first time make sure you have read this manual fully and acquainted
Ensure that you have allowed sufficient time for the heat resistant sealant to cure.
The heat-resistant paint on your stove will cure and harden the first time you light your appliance.
The curing process produces a good deal of smoke and odour, it is therefore important that the first time you light your
stove the room should be well ventilated.
During the process it is important to open and close the stove door periodically (every 30mins) during the first couple of
firings therefore preventing the door seal cord around the door from sticking and coming away from the door. Once the
heat-resistant paint has hardened the smell will disappear.
Your stove is NOT designed to be used with the door open, the stove door must be kept closed except when lighting the
stove, adding firewood or removing ash in order to prevent flue gases from escaping.
Use of Fire lighters
Quality Firelighters should be used when lighting your stove. (Never use mentholated spirit, petrol or other flammable liquids).
Lighting your stove with firelighters will be more reliable and easier than using paper. Lighting your fire with paper results
in excess smoke, more ash and possible blackening of glass.
