When t he fi re has gained i n tens i t y , reg ulate the a irflow by adju st ing the pr i ma ry and seconda ry a ir slides.
To ach ieve nominal o u tput, i t i s recommended to use around 3 kg of fue l , in int e r vals of 1 hour.
During the first few f ires. the uni t may emit some fumes/ gas es. t h is is normal and due to t he evaporat ion of t he compo nents of t he paints and oils in the manufacturing process.
Except for the sh ort time r eq u i r ed to bu i l d a f ire, t he f ire p l ace d oo r s hou ld be fu lly c l osed. If doors a re lef t pa r tly ope n. flue gas may be d rawn out o f the ope ning creat ing ris ks from both fire and smok e.
