Default starting out with a new oven

Greetings,
I just bought a home with a brick oven in the basement. It has it's own chimney but the opening is in the basement. That whole wall appears to be heat resistant bricks/tiles. The oven itself is brick inside. I have no clue about using it except that I need to start a fire, have a thermometer, and ask for help. There is a round opening to the right of the oven door which we believe had a light? inside? I should take some pics so that you all can understand what I'm talking about. Any ideas for the beginner is appreciated. I've cooked over open fires, used cast iron, even cast iron stoves.

Joy
