You need written instructions for Ikea stuff? There's no words because it's cheaper to make a single pictogram version that can be used in all markets.

I do like Ikea breakfasts though.

Completely agree Jim, and they're so messy if you spill the coal during the bit of the startup sequence that requires getting the boiler up to pressure.

Oh wait; I may just have been thinking about steam engines there, it's so easy to confuse 'pooters with those you see........

(Apologies to the forum's many Portuguese members for my use of that word...) :oops:

You have to understand the Swedish mentality - that any part although it may look the wrong size can always be made, adapted or bent to fit in anywhere. This is why they made so many porn movies there too.
