GENERAL WARNING AND
SAFETY INFORMATION
The general introductory warning information must be
followed.
- Read the whole of the manual thoroughly before
commissioning the fire.
- Only approved transport equipment with sufficient
load carrying capacity may be used with your heating
appliance.
- Your heating appliance is not suitable for use as a
ladder or stationary scaffolding.
-
The burning of fuel releases heat energy that leads to
extensive heating of the stove surfaces, doors, door
and operating handles, glass, flue pipes and possibly
the front wall. Refrain from touching these parts with-
out appropriate protective clothing or equipment e.g.
heat-resistant gloves or means of operation (cold
hand).
- Make your children aware of this particular danger
and keep them away from the stove during heating.
- Only burn the approved materials listed in the Chap-
ter “Clean burning”.
- The combustion or introduction of highly flammable or
explosive materials such as empty spray cans etc. in
the combustion chamber and storing them near the
stove is strictly prohibited due to the danger of explo-
sion.
- No light or inflammable clothing is to be worn when
post-heating.
- Placing non-heat resistant objects on the stove or
near it is prohibited.
- Do not place clothing on the stove to dry.
- Stands for drying clothes etc. must be placed at a
sufficient distance to the stove due to the danger of
fire!
- When your stove is burning, the use of highly inflam-
mable and explosive materials in the same or adja-
cent rooms is prohibited.
PRIOR TO SET-UP

Before setting up, ensure that the supporting construction
has a load bearing capacity that will support the weight of
