8.14. Security measures at the time of the stove operation
Before the beginning of heating season the stove shall be tested. In the case of a fault, the stove shall
be repaired. A faulty stove is not permitted to operation. See signs of an efficient stove under point 8.2.
ATTENTION! Don’t leave an unattended heating stove and, also, don’t trust children and
people, who are in a state of drug, alcoholic or other toxic intoxication controlling the
stove.
ATTENTION! Don’t touch to heated till high temperature of surfaces of the stove with
hand without defense and other exposed parts of a body to avoid burns and injuries.
ATTENTION! Don’t locate a chimney, other inflammable materials on the plate in front
of the combustor or nearer of 0,5 m to the surface of the stove.
ATTENTION! To avoid an accident contact with a heat surface of the stove it is
recommended to make a barrier in the form of a netting or a fender of nonflammable
material which shalln’t prevent air flow near of the stove.
ATTENTION! Don’t install a closed sheathing, which would prevent free convective
stream.
ATTENTION! Don’t dry any things and objects on a partly cold surface of the stove.
ATTENTION! Carbon monoxide generation may be deathful.
Carbon monoxide has neither smell nor colour, and is generated during the combustion of wood, coal,
oil, gas and other combustion agents. It is important to have good draught and reliable ventilation system so
that combustion products were exhausted through the stove pipe. Correctly installed stove designed so that
to be maximally safe during operation, nevertheless it is recommended to install the carbon monoxide
sensors.
The sensors shall be installed at a distance from the stove to avoid false actuation. During the
assembly and service maintenance of smoke sensors it is necessary to follow the instruction provided by the
manufacturer for their assembly and location.
It is recommended to install the sensors at the level of «table» (but not close to the ceiling) to avoid
false actuation. Make sure that sensors actuate for the presence of carbon monoxide. In case of fire alarm
(sensor actuation):
•
Pay attention to the signs of poisoning with carbon monoxide: headache, sickness, sleepiness.
•
Increase the intensity of ventilation (open windows, doors)
•
Make sure that door and ash-drawer at the stove are shut tight
•
Check – if there is smoke from the stove (through the air dampers)
•
Check the connecting pipe and stove pipe for the presence of blowing, smoke obstacle, and back-
draught.
•
Check carbon monoxide sensors for false actuation.
It is strictly prohibited to change the system of air supply into the fire chamber if you want to increase
the flame. The changes of air supply into the fire chamber differing from the designed one will create
dangerous conditions for the stove use.
