OPERATING
AND LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS
Your LIMIT
450's performance
depends largely
on
how
it
is
operated.
Please
read
this
section carefully before
lighting your
first
fire.
When you light your
first fire,
the
stove
will
emit some smoke
and the
smell
of
paint.
This
is
normal. Open the windows
to
vent
the
room
and
eliminate the
smell
.
Before

stove,
ensure
that the

is
conectly
installed.

tight
the
fire
and
close
the door.
I
Open
the door
of
the
ashtray
and
leave
it
this
way
for approximately
3
minutes
or until
the
split
logs
are alight.
I
Add the load of firewood, placing
the lightest logs directly over
the
fire
and the
heavier ones
on top
of
these.
U
Close
the door of the
firebox
and maintain the door of the
ashtray
open for
approximately
5 more
minutes.
!
Once the logs are alight, close
the door
and place the
Air
Control
on
HIGH
for 20
minutes.
!
When
the
stove
reaches the
operation temperature
and there
is
suflicient draft,
graduate
the Air Control to the
desired position.
It
is
recommendable
to slowly adjust
this
command
before
graduating

by
experience
how
to
best
manage your

to your
liking. You must
not
expect an
immediate reaction
from
the
fire
when
moving
the Air Control.
The
flame
willnot
intensify
nor
extinguish quickly
as
it
would with
liquid
or
gas fuels. Solid fuels, like
firewood,
react slowly.
!
If
the
fire
is
initiated
as
instructed,
a
good
base
is
established
for an effective
combustion
that
is
smokeless
and
