Even though your Drolet has been specifically designed and tested to prevent smoke spillage, always
open the door slowly as this will minimise the likelihood of smoke spillage or a back draft of flame or
smoke into the room.
•
Never use gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, solvents, charcoal lighter fluid, or inflammable liquids
to start or "refresh" a fire in the stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in
use.
•
All stove surfaces become very hot during operation. Care is needed, especially with children, to
avoid contact with those surfaces.
•
Do not elevate the fire by means of grates.

O NOT OVER FIRE THIS HEATER
.
Do not burn fuel in the stove at a rate higher than that
which will cause the ember bed level to exceed half the door opening height. We strongly
recommend that you purchase a chimney (flue) thermometer. There are two types of thermometers:
probe thermometers and magnetic thermometers (the later is also called “stove top thermometer”). If
you are using a probe thermometer, make sure that the temperature does not exceed 900
o
F (482
o
C).
If you are using a magnetic thermometer, make sure that the temperature does not exceed 475
o
F
(246
o
C). If the door handle of the stove becomes excessively hot to the touch, consider this to be an
indication of over firing. Over firing can result in a safety hazard and can permanently damage the
stove and chimney. This damage is not covered by the warranty.

Although the ceramic glass is extremely durable under any normal use, a few precautions are
required. Do not attempt to push logs further into the fire by using the door, as the glass may break if
any solid object heavily contacts it.
•
Never operate the stove with the door open, or cracked slightly open, except briefly during the
lighting operation, and during refuelling. Leaving the door open continuously could seriously
overheat the chimney and adjacent combustibles. Do not operate the stove if there is an abnormal air
leakage into the stove, such as through deteriorated gaskets or cracked or broken glass. Do not
operate the stove without a door gasket. Leakage can result in overheating, or in very airtight homes,
could possibly cause smoking into the room. Smoke may contain carbon monoxide, which is
poisonous, and in sufficient quantities, is a health hazard.
