How to set date via model variable

[iplan72014]

Calendar popup didn't update months while data loaded at initially.

                  <datepickerstefan  id="date2" data-ng-model="date2" language="en-ca" date-format="YYYY-MM-DD" />
                 app.controller('AppCtrl', function ($scope) {
                                $scope.date2 = "01-Jan-2015";
                    });

While click the calendar icon -> current date(August- month) gets opened in calendar popup instead of January month.[$scope.date2 = "01-Jan-2015";].

I think it's due to the date format that is not respected by the date you set.
Also i think, but i m not sure, that the date should be a date object
