3.7 Troubleshooting
Your stove has been built using modern technology.
Even so, problems can arise, which may derive from the chimney, the fuel or the flue pipe
system. There may briefly be smoke and an unpleasant smell the first time you use the
stove: this is normal. Make sure the room is sufficiently well ventilated.
