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 circula-
tion.
If the maximum temperature is not reached dur-
ing the first heating operation, you may notice an
odour for a short period of time the next time the
stove is used as well.

7. Lighting the Fire
The firing up phase should be as short as possi-
ble, since higher emissions can occur during this
phase.
The slider settings described in Table 1 are rec-
ommendations that were determined under con-
formance testing conditions, in compliance with
the relevant standard. Depending on the weather
conditions and the draught capability of your chim-
ney, accordingly adjust the slider positions for your
Sendai to the local conditions.
NOTE!
The Sendai 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.
