8. 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 Ottawa to the local conditions.
NOTE!
The Ottawa 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.
