Startup
----------------
Please perform the following steps, when you operate the stove for the first time:
Remove all accessories from the ash box and oven. Rub the enamel surfaces dry. Make a small fire so that the
firebricks can slowly dry out. Besides the usual new appliance smell, this may cause a small amount of smoke to
be given off by the stove. This is completely normal and reduces with increased usage times.
In this case, ensure adequate ventilation of the room.

Shaking and cinder and ash removal
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before every addition of fuel, shake out the grate device with the shaking lever. For this purpose use the poker
supplied.
The ash box must be emptied every day. (The cone of ash must not touch the grate).
The cinders must be removed from the grate at least once every three days.
Do not tip any glowing ash into waste bins or in the open air.
The cleaning interval depends on the fuel used, the supply pressure and the operation mode.
Indications of the need for cleaning are e.g.:
1) A drop in the usual heat output.
2) A poorly burning fire with open air regulation in combination with occasional emission of exhaust gases.
3) Exhaust gas smell in the room
--------------------------------------------
