For Your Safety…
Your Sunco wood heater has been designed and tested to rigorous Australian Standards, and will provide
you with beautiful, environmentally sustainable home heating for many years. However, we must
remember that these appliances are very powerful, and need to be both installed correctly and operated
with care.
10B
WHAT
TO
BURN
Burn only dry, seasoned hardwood in these heaters.
Do not use flammable liquids or spray aerosols to help start the fire, or at any time the fire is operating.
Do not burn the following:
•
Treated timbers (eg treated pine or painted fence palings) as these will emit poisonous chemicals.
•
Household refuse
•
Coal or briquettes
•
Combustible building materials
as these materials either emit hazardous chemicals or will cause a dangerous build up of soot and
creosote in your flue, which may cause a dangerous flue fire.

FROM
THE
HEATER

appliance (ie within installation clearances).
Keep all combustible material, including curtains, furniture, wood, paper and matches, away from the
heater. Observe the clearances in the installation section.
Supervise young children to ensure they do not play with the appliance. Keep children away from the
heater when it is alight. For young children, a secondary guard or fire screen is recommended.

CONDITION
Do not use this heater with a cracked glass. The glass should be replaced only with genuine ceramic glass
from the manufacturer.
This appliance or flue must not be modified in any way without written permission from the
