5. 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 fl ue pipes. Please dry off these
damp areas immediately.
The surface of your stove was treated in a sand-
blasting machine before applying the colour coat-
ing. 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 fi rst time a stove is operated, the heat develop-
ment 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, no-
body 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 circula-
tion.
If the maximum temperature is not reached dur-
ing 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 possi-
ble, since higher emissions can occur during this
phase.
The slider settings described in Table 1 are rec-
ommendations that were determined under con-
formance testing conditions, in compliance with
the relevant standard. Depending on the weather
conditions and the draught capability of your chim-
ney, accordingly adjust the slider positions for your
Como to the local conditions.
NOTE!
The Como 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 amma-
ble fl uids to light the stove.
