room is well-ventilated and open the windows
and outside doors. If needed, use a fan for
faster air circulation.
If the maximum temperature is not reached during the first he-
ating operation, you may notice an odour for a short period of
time the next time the stove is used as well.
7. Lighting the Fire
The firing up phase should be as short as possible, since higher
emissions can occur during this phase.
The slider settings described in Table 1 (see figure on the right)
are recommendations that were determined under confor-
mance testing conditions, in compliance with the relevant stan-
dard. Depending on the weather conditions and the draught ca-
pability of your chimney, accordingly adjust the slider positions
for your Merida to the local conditions.
NOTE!
The Merida may only be operated when the fire
box door is closed; the fire box door may
only be opened to add fuel.
WARNING!
Never use spirits, petrol, or other flammable
fluids to light the stove.
