Glass

Although the wood burning stove has a window aeration
system, it is still possible for deposits to form on the glass.
Light deposits can be removed with a glass cleaning agent.
Stubborn deposits can be removed using the spray included
with the delivery. The instructions are printed on the bottle.
Avoid using corrosive and abrasive cleaning agents.
After using the stove a few times, the stove window may
develop a little play. You can correct this by gently tightening
the nuts on the inside of the stove.

PREPARING THE STOVE FOR USE

4.1

For the first time

The outside of the stove should be clean. Any contamination
on the stove such as (building) dust, waste, residual packaging
material and stickers may cause an unpleasant smell or create
scorch risks. On delivery the paint on the stove is not fully
hardened. Hardening occurs when the stove is used for the
first few times. The paint will first soften as a result of the heat
before hardening. The hardening process may be accompanied
by an unpleasant smell and white smoke as a result of
evaporating volatile components.
!Caution
- Keep the room well ventilated;
- Pets, and birds in particular, can be sensitive to the smoke
that is released.
!Tip
- Do not touch the stove to avoid damaging the paint;
- Remove pets from the room.
4.2

Protection

To prevent unsafe situations, you should carefully observe the
following measures/instructions.
Caution
!
- Make sure that combustible objects and/or materials such
as curtains are at least 70 cm from the stove and/or stove
pipes;
- To avoid fire do not dry clothes, towels etc. on the stove;
- To avoid burns and/or clothes catching fire do not touch the
hot stove;
- Use the supplied, heat-resistant glove when operating the
stove;
- Do not leave children and persons who cannot judge the
consequences of their actions alone with a burning stove;
- Avoid working with solvents, glues etc. in the vicinity of the
stove when it is burning.
4.3

Discoloration of walls and ceilings

A brown discoloration is unpleasant and difficult to remove.
Brown discoloration can be caused by burning waste materials,
insufficient ventilation, smoking, burning candles, oil lamps, etc.
Cigarette and cigar smoke contains tar substances that are
deposited on cold walls. These problems can be (partly) solved
by correct ventilation of the room where the stove is located.
4.4

Wood burning stove with oven

The oven can be used for heating or preparing meals.
You can close the oven by using the lid (see picture 1, K).
This lid is hung on the side of the stove.
When using the oven you should always place aluminium foil in
the oven to avoid fat falling on the oven floor and burning into
the surface.
