Add approx. 1.2kg dry firewood (Photo 2), split tokindling sticks, loosely on top and 2-3 firelighters or similar.• Light the fire (photo 3 + 4).• Set the air damper to pos. 3 (for approx. 15 min.), Then in pos. 2.• Close the door completely and lift the door handle (air gap of 1-2 cm).• When the fire has caught the kindling wood, shut the door completely (photo 5)(after approx. 3-10 minutes, depending on the draft conditions in the chimney.• When the last flames are extinguished and there is a good layer of embers (photo6), can be filled up to 3-4 pieces of wood - approx. 2-2½ kg (photo 7).• Shut the door completely.• If necessary set the air damper to position 3 (far right) for 2-5 min to start the fire(photo 8).• Adjust the damper between pos. 1 and pos. 2 (see 'Adjustment the air damper').First usageA careful start pays off. Start with a small fire, so that the wood burning stove can getaccustomed to the high temperature. This provides the best start and prevents anydamage.Be aware that a strange but harmless odour, as well as smoke from the surface may ap-pear the first time you fire up. This is because the paint and materials need to harden,but the smell disappears quickly - check for good ventilation and draft, if possible.During this process you must be careful not to touch the exposed surfaces / glass (veryhot!). It is recommended that you regularly open and close the door to prevent thedoor seal from sticking.In addition, the stove can produce "clicking noises" during heating and cooling, causedby the large temperature differences which the material is exposed to.Never use any type of liquid fuel for kindling or maintaining the fire. There is a risk ofexplosion.If the stove has not been used for a while, follow the steps as if you were using it forthe first time.English RAIS/attika - User manual for VISIO 3-1
