CLEARANCE OF THE FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE
The minimum distance between the front of the fireplace and any combustible material such as firewood, furniture, drapes, etc,
is 5 feet (152 cm). Do not place such materials within this minimum distance to minimize the risk of fire hazards.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be removed from the insert after every few days of use or when ashes pile from 2 to 3 inches in height.
Ashes
should be placed in a metal container with a tight lid, taken outside and placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed in the soil or locally dispersed, they
should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have been cooled.
CAUTIONS:
Ashes could still contain hot embers two days after having used the fireplace.
The ash container can become very hot: wear gloves to prevent injury.
CHIMNEY FIRES
If you have a chimney fire, follow these steps:
1)
Close the door of your fireplace.
2)
Insert the handle extension in the combustion control handle and move it to its furthest clockwise position.
3)
If you require assistance, call your local fire department.
4)
Use a dry chemical fire extinguisher, baking soda or sand to control the fire.
DO NOT USE WATER to extinguish the fire. It may cause a dangerous steam explosion.
DO NOT USE YOUR FIREPLACE again until the chimney has been inspected by a qualified chimney sweeper or by a fire
department.
FRESH AIR
Adequate replacement air is necessary for proper fireplace operation. Air is required for combustion and to maintain a draft.
If the house is airtight, combustion equipment may not function properly. If the combustion equipment, which includes the
fireplace, is starved of the air necessary to function, it will be necessary to provide a source of fresh air into the dwelling. This
may be done by using heat exchanger units or simply by opening a window slightly.
GLASS DOOR
The glass door of your VOLCANO PLUS must be treated with care. Do not
slam the doors shut or build the fire too close to the glass. Do not overfire.
Excessive temperatures or impacts may lead to the breaking of the glass
door.
The glass panel of your VOLCANO PLUS is cut from heat-resistant ceramic
type "ROBAX" glass, 5 mm (nominal) thick. The panels are factory-cut and
edge polished to remove residual micro cracks.
If your glass door cracks or breaks, replace the panel immediately. Do not
use the VOLCANO PLUS with a cracked or broken glass door: overheating
and fire hazards may result.
To repair a broken glass door, follow the steps indicated below:
1.
Order a pre-cut replacement panel, a door gasket and a glass gasket from your dealer. Use
only ceramic glass of 5 mm minimum thickness, 13 5/8’’ x 24 1/4’’.
2.
Remove the door; open the door and raise it enough to get outside of its hole the door lower rod, then pull slightly the
lower part of the door and lower the door until the upper rod goes out of its hole.
