CAUTIONS : READ THIS FIRST
Your Cannon wood heater has been designed and tested to rigorous Australian Standards, and will
provide you with beautiful, environmentally sustainable home heating for many years. However,
we must remember that these appliances are very powerful, and need to be both installed correctly
and operated with care.
WHAT TO BURN
Burn only dry, seasoned hardwood in these heaters. Do not use flammable liquids or spray
aerosols to help start the fire, or at any time the fire is operating.
Do not burn the following:
• Treated timbers (eg treated pine or painted fence palings) as these will emit poisonous
chemicals.
• Household refuse.
• Coal or briquettes.
• Combustible building materials as these materials either emit hazardous chemicals or will
cause a dangerous build up of soot and creosote in your flue, which may cause a dangerous
flue fire.
WHAT TO KEEP AWAY FROM THE HEATER
WARNING:
Do not store or use petrol, kerosene, methylated spirits or other flammable liquids in
the vicinity of this appliance (ie within installation clearances).
WARNING:
Keep all combustible material, including curtains, furniture, wood, paper and matches,
away from the heater. Observe the clearances in the installation section.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of high surface temperatures and should take
care to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
Supervise young children to ensure they do not play with the appliance. Keep children away from
the heater when it is alight. For young children, a secondary guard or fire screen is recommended.
