First Time Use

For the first few times the appliance is lit, odorous fumes will be given off as the paint cures. Do not touch the paint work while it is curing otherwise it can leave a permanent mark on the appliance. For best paint curing it is best not to run too hot of fire for the first couple of uses, instead operate the fire on a medium setting. Keep the room well-ventilated until these fumes have cleared. Once the paint has cured, this will not re-occur.

Burn only seasoned hardwood timber with a moisture content of less than 20%. Newly cut wood should be split and allowed to dry/season for 12 to 18 months before use. Wood should be stored in an environment protected from the weather to minimise any potential moisture content.
