Your stove has been painted with the highest quality silicone stove paint and has special break-in procedures to cure it
with heat and make it hard.
VENTILATE WELL
Ventilate the house during the first three times the stove is used. The paint on the stove will give off smoke heavy with
carbon dioxide and has an odor. Without adequate ventilation, concentrations of smoke could irritate, or be upset-
ting, so open doors and windows and use a fan if necessary. After these initial burns the paint will be cured and there
should be no more smoke.
DON’T TOUCH DURING CURING
Don’t touch the surface. It will be soft and gummy during this paint curing phase. Once cured, it will not be soft again.
CURE WITH 3 FIRES
Most stoves cure with 3 burns. The first two (2) should be 250°F for 20 minutes, or about half a normal fire. Let the
stove cool down between burns. The last fire should be 500°F to 700°F for at least 45 minutes. The point being, cure
slowly without a hot fire.
Stoves with cooler surface temperature and those that have been painted with another colour before,
will take longer to cure.
Curing can usually be observed by the effect of the paint turning flat as the heat radiates out from hotter parts of the
stove.
