Lighting The Fire; Adding Fuel / Heating At Nominal Thermal Output - HASE Valencia B.12 Manuel D'utilisation

6. Lighting the Fire

The firing up phase should be as short as possible,
since higher emissions can occur during this phase.
The slider settings described in Table 1 (see figure
on the right) are recommendations that were de-
termined under conformance testing conditions, in
compliance with the relevant standard. Depending
on the weather conditions and the draught capability
of your chimney, accordingly adjust the slider posi-
tions for your Valencia to the local conditions.
NOTE!
The Valencia may only be operated when
the fire box door is closed; the fire box door
may only be opened to add fuel.
WARNING!
Never use spirits, petrol, or other flamma-
ble fluids to light the stove.
CAUTION!
The door handle can become hot dur-
ing operation. When adding more wood,
protect your hands with the oven gloves
included.
