3.3. Lighting
Use of the appliance in warm weather
(warm days, early hours of the afternoon
on sunny days) may lead to lighting and
updraught problems.
Certain weather conditions, such as fog,
ice, humidity entering the flue, etc., may
hinder sufficient updraught in the flue and
lead to suffocation.
Proceed as follows in order to light the
appliance satisfactorily:
• Open the firebox door(s) and
open all the firebox air-intake
inlets to the full.
• Place paper or a firelighter and
some wood chips in the firebox.
• Light the paper or firelighter.
• Leave the door slightly ajar, the
width of two or three fingers,
for about 15 minutes until the
glass warms up.
• The first time the appliance is
lit, the fire should be gentle to
allow the parts of the appliance
to dilate and dry.
Important: The first time it is lit up, the
appliance may give off smoke and strange
smells. This is not a cause for concern.
Open an outdoor window to ventilate the
room during the first few hours of
operation.
If you notice water around the
appliance, this is produced by the
condensation of the moisture in the wood
on lighting the fire. This condensation will
no longer appear when the appliance has
been lit three or four times and has
adapted to its flue. If it does not disappear,
then check the flue draught (length and
diameter of the flue, flue insulation,
