Initial Operation; Lighting The Fire - HASE Lisboa Mode D'emploi

9. Initial Operation
The first time you operate a stove, smoke and odours can develop as organic components
in the coating, sealing strips and lubricants used in the production process burn off.
At a higher combustion temperature, this one-time process can take between 4 to 5 hours.
To achieve this higher combustion temperature, please increase the fuel quantity recom-
mended in Section 11, Adding Wood or Fuel/ Heating with Nominal Thermal Output, by
approximately 25%.
To prevent adverse effects on health, nobody should stay in the room(s) where the stove
is being operated unless absolutely necessary. Make sure the room is well-ventilated and
open the windows and outside doors. If needed, use a fan for faster air circulation.
If the maximum temperature isn't reached during the first heating operation, you
may notice an odour for a short period of time during subsequent operations
as well.
During shipment to you, condensation moisture can accumulate in the stove's interior,
which may possibly lead to the appearance of condensation or water on the stove or flue
pipes.
Please dry off these damp areas immediately.
The surface of your stove was degreased in a sandblasting machine before being lacquered.
Despite careful and thorough inspection, there may still be some blasting material (small
steel pellets) in the stove body, which can fall out when your stove is being installed.
To prevent any damage, please immediately vacuum up these little steel pellets
with a vacuum cleaner.

10. Lighting the Fire
The firing up phase should be as short as possible, since higher emission value rates can
occur during this phase. The slider settings described in Table are recommen-
dations that were determined under testing conditions, in compliance with the relevant
standard.
Depending on the weather conditions and the draught capability of your chimney, accor-
dingly adjust the slider positions for your Lisboa to the local conditions.
