Initial Operation

NOTE!
During shipment, condensation moisture
can accumulate in the stove's interior,
which may possibly lead to the appear-
ance of condensation or water on the
stove or flue pipes. Please dry off these
damp areas immediately.
The surface of your stove was treated in a sand-
blasting 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 immedi-
ately vacuum up these small steel pellets
with a vacuum cleaner.
The first time a stove is operated, the heat devel-
opment 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 Ther-
mal Output", by approximately 25%.
CAUTION!
To prevent adverse effects on health, no-
body should stay in the room(s) during
this process unless absolutely necessary.
34
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 first heating operation, you may notice an odour
for a short period of time the next time the stove is
used as well.

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 conform-
ance 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 Como
to the local conditions.
NOTE!
The Como 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.
