Lighting Instructions
During the first few hours of operation the appliance will release an odor. This is caused by the burning off of
residual oils used in the manufacturing process and by the curing of the high heat paint. Open a window to get
fresh air inside the house. The ceramic glass window may require cleaning after this initial fire. Please read
the instructions on cleaning in the MAINTENANCE section before doing so.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The gas valve is equipped of a thermopile (thermo generator) and a thermocouple. The thermopile while
warm up by the pilot flame supplies the necessary energy to the operation of the gas control valve. As
long as there’s no flame failure, the valve let the gas flowing in the stove.
Let your stove cool down between two lightings: If you attempt to relight your appliance while the
thermocouple is still warm, the control valve won’t let the gas flow to the burner. Wait few minutes to cool
the thermocouple down.
