Lighting The Fire; Adding Fuel / Heating At Nominal Thermal Output - HASE Asmara Mode D'emploi

7. 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 are recom-
mendations that were determined under confor-
mance testing conditions, in compliance with the
relevant standard. Depending on the weather con-
ditions and the draught capability of your chimney,
accordingly adjust the slider positions for your As-
mara to the local conditions.
NOTE!
The Asmara may only be operated when
the fire box door is closed; the fire box door
may only be opened to add fuel.

Never use spirits, petrol, or other flamma-
ble fluids to light the stove.
