2.6  Instructions for users 

!

 

Prohibited  kinds  of  fuel:  coal  and  coal  derivatives,  briquettes,  straw,  woodwork 
chippings and wood under  10%  humidity, plastic objects and rubbish. Moreover,  it 
is  prohibited  to  use  chemical  products  and  all  kinds  of  inflammable  liquids  for 
combustion and facilitating the lighting up. 

Never use water to extinguish fire in the fireplace. 

!

  Do not touch the device during operation because of the risk of burning. 

!

  Wear the protective gloves attached to the fireplace insert. 

Clean the furnace regularly to avoid excessive accumulation of ash. 

!

  Do not leave the insert with door open or ajar  unattended while the fuel is burning 

inside.

 

!

 

Parts such as the grate, deflector and gaskets are not covered by the guarantee and 
ought to be replaced during technical inspections, depending on wear.

 

!

  Technical inspections ought to be performed once a year by Authorised KFD Fitters. 

!

  Lack  of  the  deflector  may  cause  excessive  negative  pressure  which  causes  too 

violent combustion, excessive consumption of wood and, respectively, overheating 
of the device. 

!  To avoid the hazard of explosion in the fireplace insert, cleaning of the glass pane 

may only be performed while the device is cold. 

!   Use of any liquid substances such as alcohol, petrol, petroleum, etc. is prohibited. 
!   Combustion residues (ash) ought to be picked up to a hermetic container resistant 

to the heat of embers. 

!  The device may not be used at a place where emission of any kind of vapours takes 

place  (e.g.  petroleum,  glue  for  linoleum,  etc.).  Do  not  leave  combustible  materials 
nearby  the  device.

 

Warn  children  not  to  touch  the  device  while  in  operation  or 

immediately after extinguishing. 

!  In case of occurrence of a fire in the fireplace or in the chimney: 

i.  close the fireplace insert door 

ii.  close the supply of combustion air 

iii.  extinguish the fire using carbon dioxide extinguishers (CO

2

, dry 

power extinguishers) 

iv.  immediately call the fire brigade. 

!    Never  light  up  the  fireplace  insert  if  vapours  of  gases  or  combustible  dusts  are 

present in the room (e.g. after lacquering or scraping of wooden floors). 

!   

Do  not  allow  overheating  of  the  device,  evidenced  by  metal  incandescence.  If  this 

occurs,  reduce  the  supply  of  air  and,  consequently,  the  rate  of  combustion.  If  this 
fails,  let  the  fire  extinguish.  Incandescence  of  metal  elements  (red  colour)  may 
cause damage to the device. This type of damage is excluded from guarantee of the 
fireplace insert. 

! Unauthorised alterations of the fireplace insert and the fireplace are prohibited. 
! The regulation is in the front under the door. Moving to the left, we reduce, and to the 

right, we increase the amount of air that contribute to combustion. 

! The input of the second combustion is fixed in factory.
