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

5 . Initial Operation

NOTE!
During shipment, condensation moisture can
accumulate in the stove's interior, which may
possibly lead to the appearance of
condensation or water on the stove or fl ue
pipes. Please dry off these damp areas imme
diately.
The surface of your stove was treated in a sandblasting
machine before applying the colour coating. Despite careful
and thorough inspection, there may still be some residual
material in the stove body, which can fall out when your stove
is being installed.
NOTE!
To prevent any damage, please immediately
vacuum up these small steel pellets with a
vacuum cleaner.
The fi rst time a stove is operated, the heat development
causes the emission of volatile components from the coating,
sealing strips and lubricants, and smoke and odours can
occur.
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 recommended
in Section 7, „Adding Fuel/ Heating with Nominal Thermal
Output", by approximately 25%.

CAUTION!
To prevent adverse effects on health, nobody
should stay in the room(s) during this process
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 is not reached during the fi rst
heating operation, you may notice an odour for a short period
of time the next time the stove is used as well.
6.

Lighting the Fire

The fi ring up phase should be as short as possible, since
higher emissions can occur during this phase.
The slider settings described in Table 1 (see fi gure on the
right) are recommendations that were determined 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 positions for your Bilbao to the local conditions.
NOTE!
The Bilbao may only be operated when the fi re
box door is closed; the fi re box door may
only be opened to add fuel.
WARNING!
Never use spirits, petrol, or other fl ammable
fl uids to light the stove.
