Kompact RU Installation Version 14/4/14 3
1. WARNINGS
THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL
TIMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
The Kompact RU is tested to N.Z. Standards AS/NZS 2918:2001.
If this heater is incorrectly installed a house fire may result. For your safety
follow the installation instructions carefully.
Do NOT connect the heater to a chimney serving another appliance.
Although the exterior of the heater may appear cool, contact with the unit may
cause burns; warn children and others of the possibility of injury should they
touch the heater.
Do NOT dry clothing or unseasoned wood directly in contact with the heater.
Keep all household combustible materials at least 600mm away from front of
the heater. This includes clothing, furniture, wood, newspaper, plastic, matches,
etc.
Do not use flammable liquids or aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance when it
is operating.
Use caution when reloading with fuel. Do NOT attempt to load fuel into the
heater when the fire inside the stove is at or near its peak.
Do NOT burn large quantities of paper or combustible material that would
create an extremely hot/quick fire.
Do NOT burn highly coloured paper or brochures (junk mail).
Use only dry wood. Avoid burning wet or green wood.
Driftwood with salt content will also cause rapid deterioration of the heater and
should not be used.
The use of some types of preservative treated wood as a fuel can be
hazardous. Timber treated with copper chromium and arsenic type
preservatives will leave toxic residues in the ash, firebox or within the flue;
timber offcuts from building construction will often contain boric salts. The
combustion of this material will void the warranty and greatly reduce the lifespan
of the fire. Emission of poisonous gases can also be experienced with the
burning of treated wood.
