VIII.- SAFETY
There are certain risks which must be taken into account when starting to use your
solid fuel burning FIREPLACE, whatever the model. These risks can be minimised by
following the instructions and recommendations provided in this manual.
Below we provide a number of rules and recommendations, but above all we advise
you to use common sense:
1. Keep anything combustible (furniture, curtains, clothes etc.) at a minimum safety
distance of 0.90 m.
2. Do not heat the FIREPLACE excessively and for a long period of time.
3. The ash must be emptied into a metal container and removed from the house
immediately.
4. You must never use combustible fluids to light your fireplace. Keep any kind of
flammable liquid away from the fireplace (petrol, paraffin, alcohol etc.)
5. Inspect the chimney periodically and clean whenever necessary.
6. Do not position the fireplace near combustible walls.
FORCED CONVECTION.
If you install a fan to force the convection, position the air inlet on the outside of the
built-in cladding, preferably in an adjoining room or corridor.
For safety reasons:
The fan must always be installed so that it
blows
air towards the FIREPLACE
convection chamber and must
never be sucking
from the chamber. This will prevent
a depression which could suck smoke from chimney or the FIREPLACE itself.
If the power supply cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by a
technical support service or qualified personnel in order to avoid any danger.
