THE FIRST FIRES
Thefreshpaintonyourstoveneedstobecuredtopreserveitsquality.Oncethefuelchargeisproperlyignited,only
burnsmallresinyourstovefortherstfourhoursofoperation.Neveropentheaircontrolmorethannecessaryto

Makesurethatthere’senoughaircirculationwhilecuringthestove.Theodorscouldbesmelledduringthe3or4rst
res.Neverstartyourstoveoutside.Youwillnotbeabletoseeifyouareoverheating.
IGNITION
Aftermakingsurethatthestoveairintakecontrolsarefullyopen(completelypull-outtowardsyou),placeseveralrumpled
sheetsofpaperinthecentreofthecombustionchamber.Place8to10piecesofsmalldrykindlingwoodoverthepaper
intheformofatent.Youmayalsoplaceafewpiecesofheatingwood,butchoosethesmallerones.Nochemicalproduct
shouldbeusedtolightthere.
Beforeignitingthepaperandkindlingwood,itisrecommendedthatyouwarmupthechimney.Thisisdoneinorderto
avoidbackdraftproblemsoftenduetonegativepressureinthehouse.Ifsuchisthecase,openawindowslightlynear
thestoveandtwisttogetherafewsheetsofnewspaperintoatorch.Lightupthispapertorchandholditascloseas
