Odour and sound coming from the stove
• The lacquer on the stove hardens when you use the stove for
the first time; this can cause an odour. Open a window or a
door for ventilation, and make sure the stove is heated up suf-
ficiently to avoid odours later.
• When heating up and cooling down, the stove may make some
clicking noises. These are due to the huge temperature dif-
ferences to which the material is exposed and do not indicate
any product defects.
