Operation manual - Outback Chef Wood Burning Cookstove
ENGLISH
OPERATION
Before the First Use
The plate has been treated with a lubricant to prevent rust and oxidation. Therefore, it is important to
clean it before the first use.
First Fires
Never use alcohol, gasoline, or any other liquid fuel.
The cover must always be up when the cooking stove is operating. Bring down the cover only when
the cooking stove is cold.
Before ignition, check to make sure the chimney is clean and clear. Check for the good operations of
all the devices related to the cooking stove.
The use of the cooking stove with cracked or broken components, such as the window or the baffle,
could cause dangerous situations and could damage the cooking stove.
The doors must remain closed and locked during the operation. The access panel for the ash drawer
must also be closed during the operation.
The startup of the cooking stove must be done only when all the installation steps for the cooking
stove and the chimney have been completed.
During the first fires, your cooking stove will give off an unpleasant smell along with a light smoke. This
has to do with the hardening of the paint process. The paint heats up, hardens, and adheres to metal.
The smell and the smoke will disappear when the cooking stove has been heated for several hours.
Increase the fire intensity gradually. Open a window. Get out of the room if needed.
Even though the
smoke and the smell are unpleasant, they are nontoxic.
Loading
Do not load the wood through the cast iron rings.
The cooking stove must be loaded manually while functioning.
Load with combustible when the flame is minimum to avoid combustion gas to exit when the combustion
chamber’s door opens.
To add combustible, it is necessary to open the combustion chamber’s door. Load with wood and
close the door.
During this operation, always use the tools provided with the appliance.
