restriction will void all warranties and the safety listing of the Fire. Poor quality fuel will directly
(
and adversely
)
affect
efficiency and cleanliness of your Fire’s operation. Refer to Pellet Fuel Quality on page 30.
20.
NEVER
use petrol, petrol type fuel, kerosene, lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” this Fire. Do not
store or use petrol or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the Fire.
21.
INSTALL
a smoke detector within the proximity of your pellet Fire.
22.
NEVER
put foreign objects in the hopper.
NEVER
burn rubbish or unapproved fuel or material in this Fire.
23.
NEVER
obstruct free airflow through air vents or the flue.
24. Do not place unburned or raw pellet fuel in the ash pan. A Fire in the ash pan or excess emissions may occur.
25. This Fire’s exhaust system works with a negative combustion chamber pressure (vacuum) and a low positive
chimney pressure. It is very important that the exhaust system be completely airtight and properly installed. The
chimney joints should overlap at least 40mm, be sealed with RTV 260 degrees Celsius (500 F) silicone sealant and
secured with at least 3 sheet metal screws.
26. Never attempt to operate this Fire without the Burn Pot Liner in place.
27. CARBON AND FLY ASH: The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash. The fly ash will collect
in the Firebox and exhaust system. Fly ash will restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as
occurs during start-up, stopping, or incorrect operation of the Fire will lead to some soot formation which will collect in
the exhaust system. The exhaust system should be inspected at least once every year for any buildup of ash; soot or
creosote to determine if cleaning is necessary.
28. The Burn Pot Ash Slide, Ash Pan and Firebox door must be closed securely for proper and safe operation of the
Fire. Also ensure all gaskets checked annually and replaced when necessary.
29. Do not abuse the glass by striking it or slamming the door. Do not attempt to operate the Fire with broken glass.
The Fire has 5mm Pyroceramic glass. Replacement glass must be purchased from a Parkwood Pellet Fires
Distributor. To clean the glass, use a dampened, paper towel, or tissue. Always dampen with water only. For difficult to
remove stains, dip the dampened cloth into some ash from the ash pan. NEVER use abrasive cleaning agents or
chemicals on the glass.
30. Always unplug the Fire from the power supply when the Fire is not being used for prolonged periods.
31. Do not operate aerosol sprays or flammables in the vicinity of the Fire while it is in operation
32. Do not place hands at the bottom of the Hopper because moving parts may cause injury.
33.
ALWAYS
carry out annual maintenance.
