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 first heating operation, you may notice an odour
for a short period of time the next time the stove is
used as well.

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 (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 Delhi to the local conditions.

NOTE!
The Lima 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.

NOTE!
When lighting the stove, leave the fire box
door (fig. 7) in the warming-up position

for about 5-10 minutes, which prevents

water vapour from condensing on the fire
box windows. Please make sure to lock the

door afterwards.
