5. LIGHTING

Prior to the first stove lighting, it is necessary to wipe all stove surfaces with a dry cloth,
remove dust, oil and impurities from the stove plate and the oven in order to avoid their
combustion and uccurence of unpleasant odours and smoke.
The first time that the appliance is lit, there will be an unpleasant odour and smoke
given off, especially from the stove plate surface, as well as from the other parts protected with
a heat resistant paint. This is a normal occurrence because the paint stabilizes on
temperatures above 250°C during the first lighting. A good ventilation of the room where the
stove is located must be ensured.
The ignition is performed in the following manner:
• The handle of the regulator of the gases flow should be pulled towards you, thus
enabling the smoke flow towards the chimney via the shortest route.
•Position the primary air regulator into the open position,
•open the hearth door,
•put the necessary fuel into the hearth (ungreased paper, small pieces of wood),
•Ignition is performed,
•The hearth and ashtray door is closed,
• After the initial flame, wider wood logs should be put into the hearth, the
hearth door is closed, the draft is reduced to half, and the regulator handle is positioned
into the front position (Image 5).
IMPORTANT: When opening the stove door, due to high temperatures on the
stove handles, you must use the protective glove which is delivered with the
stove.
Fuels like petrol or light distillate oil and similar fuels must not be used, because they can
lead to stove damaging and explosion.
Among the others, the following cannot be burnt: organic waste, food leftovers, used and
painted wood, plastic objects, flammable and explosive materials the combustion of which
disturbs proper operation of the stove and can cause damage and environment pollution.
High outside temperatures may cause bad airflow (draft) in the chimney, so it is
recommended to put smaller quantities of fuel more frequently.
