Once your stove has been installed, and connected to
the chimney, you are ready to start the fire.
Although the operation of your stove is easy, the process
of burning solid fuels is complex, since several factors
intervene and it takes time and experience to understand
how it is done.
Before lighting your stove for the first time, it is necessary
to familiarize yourself with the different heating systems.
control and physiognomy of your stove, how to choose
the firewood, how to light it and use it daily
ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND that the stove produces heat
and therefore children, clothing, furniture must be kept
away from it, since contact with it can cause burns.
Here are some tips with which to know your stove
properly and how it works, which we ask you to read
carefully:
CONTROLS
To open the fireplace door, turn the handle clockwise
90º to the open position and gently pull it out.
To close, keep the handle in the open position, bring the
door against the range, pressing lightly, and turn the
handle gently counterclockwise to the closed position.
To open the ashtray door, turn the handle
counterclockwise, from the horizontal closed position to
the vertical open position, and gently lower the door.
To close it, proceed in reverse. Keep the knob in a
vertical position, bring the door against the stove,
pressing lightly, and turn the knob gently clockwise to
the horizontal closed position.

FIRST IGNITION

Important when lighting it for the first time: a few
drops of water may be released from your stove due to
condensation, produced by the humidity of the
environment where your stove has been stored.
It is very important that the first ignition of the stove is
carried out very slowly.
The reasons are as follows:
a) Stabilize cast iron parts.
b) Carry out the curing of the joint sealing cement.
Tips:
• We recommend that the first loads be small.
• For the draft to start working, heat the chimney by
inserting a lit piece of paper through the gap between
the front and the deflector, directing it towards the
chimney. While lighting the fireplace for the first time,
keep the room where the stove is located ventilated,
as they can appear paint fumes.
• Keep the stove on for a few hours at this operating
regime.
