Preparing the heater for use Read the instructions carefully before the first use! The heater is painted with heat- resistant paint and due to its chemical properties it may evaporate burning odours from its surface when heated for the first times. Therefore we recommend the first heating up to be done outdoors or in a well-ventilated sauna room.

Heating up Wood is the only material that should be burned in the heater. Never use materials with high heat capacity, such as particle board, plastic, charcoal or briquettes. Air is circulated by opening the ash drawer. Excess draught will cause the heater to glow, which will significantly shorten its service life.
