IMPORTANT:
The company is not liable for any damage or defects in the stove or its
components which are caused by disregard of building regulations, incorrect
choice of the stove size, non-professional pipe and equipment installation,
faulty chimney connection and using unauthorised fuels, due to faulty, improper
operation or inadequate or overly-strong chimney draught, as well as through
external chemical or physical effects during transport, storage, installation and
use of the device (for example quenching with water, over-cooking food and
beverages, condensation, overheating through too much of the wrong fuel). In
addition the company is not liable for damage occurring as a result of building
up of soot due, for example, to poor chimney draught, wet wood or incorrect
operation and leading to losses such as additional heating costs in the event of
repair, as well as transportation costs and costs for the installation and removal
of the stove.
2. SAFETY
2.1 General safety precautions
-
The existing safety measures cannot exclude all risks of accidents in
dealing with the stove.
-
Remember that most components in the stove (flue pipe, safety window,
cladding and controls, etc.) become hot during heating and therefore
represent a combustion hazard. So please use gloves.
-
Children should never be left unattended with a burning wood stove.
Ensure that they never play with the stove controls.
-
never use spirits, alcohol, petrol or other flammable liquids.
-
Only use the fuel specified in the owner's manual for heating.
-
If work is being carried out on flammable or explosive materials in the
vicinity of the stove, the stove must be put out of operation.
-
The fire box door must always be kept closed during operation.
-
The shaker grate lever must only be handled when wearing a glove!
-
The stove should only be operated with the ash tray inserted. Empty the
ash pan regularly. The ash should be disposed of when cold.
2.2 Installation instructions and safety clearances
The wood stove must be installed in a floor space with adequate load carrying
capacity. In the event of inadequate load carrying capacity, appropriate
measures must be taken in order to achieve this (for example a plate to
distribute the load).
The building regulations and fire brigade provisions, national and
European standards, and local regulations for the installation and
operation of the wood stove need to be respected.
