WARNING!
Gas/log/pellet units get hot when in use.
Consequently, owners must act with precaution and keep at a distance. Especially keep children, the
elderly and other people who require special supervision, as well as pets, away from the fireplace when
it is in use.
Make sure that children or other people who are not familiar with how the device works are supervised
by responsible people when they are near the fireplace.
In order to prevent burns or children or other people from coming near the appliance, use a fire grille
or screen.
Several possible risks are present when operating your solid fuel oven with fuel of any brand. The said
risks can be minimized if the instructions and recommendations included in this manual are followed.
•
When installing the stove, observe the necessary safety distances for the oven and chimney from
combustible surfaces (wooden or papered walls, wooden floors...). Safety distances must be respected
when the lining on walls or nearby areas may be damaged or deformed by temperature (varnish, paint,
PVC...). Fig. 6
•
The base where you are going to install your heater must be flat and provide a perfect seat. The
said base must also be capable of supporting the weight of the heater. The base must be built using heat
resistant materials.
•
All the area around the heater must be heat resistant. If not, they must be protected by fire-proof
material.

Ash should be emptied into a metal container and immediately removed from the house.

Do not use flammable liquids to light the stove. Keep any type of flammable liquid (petrol, gasoline,
alcohol,.) at a distance from the fireplace.

Periodically inspect the chimney and clean whenever necessary. Also inspect the state of joints,
glass, screws...
