Troubleshooting

Your stove has been built using modern technology.
Even so, problems can arise, which may derive from the chimney, the fuel or the
flue pipe system. There may briefly be smoke and an unpleasant smell the first
time you use the stove: this is normal. Make sure the room is sufficiently well
ventilated.
