Some parts of your heater are protected with an anti-caloric paint,
specific for high temperatures. When lighting it the first times it is
normal that slight smoke may be caused, as some of its components
may evaporate, allowing the paint to take shape. Therefore we
recommend ventilating the room until this phenomenon disappears.
WELCOME
