Installation and operation manual - Atlas woodburning cookstove
ENGLISH
It is prohibited to put or store: alcohol, gasoline, liquid fuel, flammable materials,
ashes, paper and wood in the accessory compartment.
4.2 Cooking
Cooking can be done in the stainless steel oven, using the cooking grills and the trays provided
with the cookstove. It can also be done in the combustion chamber, using the cooking grils only.
Do not use the trays in the combustion chamber.
The panoramic windows allow you to see the cooking or baking without having to open the
door. The door’s integrated thermometer simplifies the reading of the oven temperature. The
temperature indicated by the thermometer is only used as a reference. During cooking, keep the
oven door closed to keep a constant temperature.
4.3 First Fires
Before ignition, make sure the chimney is clean and clear. The cookstove startup must be done
only when all the installation steps for the cookstove and the chimney have been completed.
During the first fires, the cookstove will give off an unpleasant smell along with a light smoke.
This has to do with the hardening of the paint process. The paint heats up, hardens, and
adheres to metal. The smell and the smoke will disappear when the cookstove has been heated
for several hours. Increase the fire intensity gradually. Open a window. Even though the smoke
and the smell are unpleasant, they are not toxic.
4.4 Lighting a Fire
Load a generous amount of firewood, placing a layer of wood chips or thin firewood and another
layer of thicker wood on top. You must leave the pieces crossed and with enough separation
between them to allow proper air flow.
Light the first layer of wood chips or thin wood using fire-starters or special lighting products,
if necessary.
Leave the door ajar, so that enough air can enter for the fire to light quickly.
Once the wood is well-lit, wait until the temperature is high before completely closing the door
(10 to 45 minutes, depending on factors like wood, air circulation, etc.) and adjust the air inlet.
If you find that the volume of flames decreases, or the fire tends to go out and the smoke inside
the fireplace increases, open the air intake more or repeat the previous step.
When reloading, if there are not enough embers to light the new load of wood, open the door
and the air inlet.
DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, FUEL OIL, MOTOR
OIL, OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE.
DO NOT LEAVE THE COOKSTOVE UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS SLIGHTLY OPENED.
ALWAYS CLOSE AND LATCH THE DOOR AFTER THE FIRE IGNITES.
