WARNING
It is prohibited to use gas, oil or other inflammable liquids to ignite the fire.
Never use your stove with light fuels, such as draining oil, naphtha, gasoline or engine oil. The fire might get out of control
and may cause a chimney fire.
During combustion, the stove walls become very hot, do not touch them.
Keep the door closed when the stove is in use, with the door open smoke can be released (carbon monoxide) from your
stove and you can lose control of the flames.
If the stove is installed in the basement on a cement floor, with unfinished walls and ceiling joists, the efficiency will be
affected (up to 75%) due to an ambient coolness too high.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
A)
Keep the children away from the stove when it is on.
B)
This stove was designed to burn wood in reasonable quantity. Avoid large fires which could damage the stove. Do not
burn wet or green wood, wood containing salt, plywood or melamine.
C)
It is prohibited to use inflammable liquid to start or activate a fire. Keep those products away from the heat source.
D)
When the stove is used for the first time, make small fires in order to allow the firebrick to solidify themselves.
E)
During these first fires, the stove’s paint can release odour and smoke. Open a window to decrease these disturbances.
It has also been proven necessary to open a window in the case of an airtight house or when a ventilation appliance
is in function.
F)
When fire is extinguished and the stove has cooled off, close the damper key and the combustion control key until the
next use of your stove.
G)
If you must leave the stove lit without monitoring, be sure that the door is well closed. Leave the register open.
EXPANSION NOISES
Noises of expansion and contraction during the heating cycle and cooling are normal phenomena. Thus it is not necessary
to worry.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
The additional logs, curtain and furnishing must be kept at a minimum distance of 48’’ (1220 mm) from the stove. It is
recommended to heat the chimney in order to avoid the risk of smoke. With this in mind, use an ignited newspaper and
keep it in the direction of the chimney.
