- High output,
- Stays in for a long time at reduced speed.
Caution : using the air regulating lever enables to obtain complementary air flow for lighting : position (A),
see fig. 5a to 5c. Position A is reserved exclusively for restarting and lighting operations, and should not be
maintained more than 30 minutes, which would result in severe damage on the appliance and its
environment. Do not leave the appliance unattended when using position "LIGHTING" (A).

5.1 Lighting the stove for the first time

- When the fireplace is completed and the appliance in place, give the various building materials
time to dry (2 or 3 weeks),
- After lighting the stove for the first time (see § 5.4.1), build a moderate fire for the first few hours
using just one log with a diameter of about 15 cm, with the damper halfway open (Fig. 5h) :
. this will ensure that the temperature of all the parts of the fireplace increases gradually and that
the appliance will expand normally.
- You may find that initially the stove gives off a smell of paint, in which case simply air the room.
