Your Cast Iron Stove is protected on the inside with an anti-calorific paint
especially for high temperatures. When the stove is lit for the first few times, it
is normal for a slight amount of smoke to be produced when some of its
components evaporate, giving the paint body. We therefore recommend you
ventilate the room until this disappears.
