SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. The heater is intended for outdoor heating use only and should not
be used for any other purpose. The heater should not be used as an
incinerator.
2. Before using the heater, the operator must read and know all the
safety precautions outlined herein.
3. Adhere to all regulations and laws concerning the installation and use
of the heater. Do not install the unit: in a manner different than the
one described herein; in the presence of ignition sources (flames,
cigarettes, sparks, etc.); in areas with a possibility of water jets; close
to combustible, flammable and/or explosive materials; in locations
susceptible or close to fire. Do not smoke or approach with devices
that can generate combustion (cigarettes, lighters, flames, etc.) while
using the heater.
4. Although an unlikely occurrence, it is recommended that the user has
easy access to a standard carbon dioxide (CO
2
) extinguisher at all
times in case of an uncontrolled fire.
5. Place the heater on a floor or platform with load-bearing capacity
sufficient to sustain the weight of the heater. To prevent accidental
damage, remove the glass tube when moving the unit.
6. No objects should be placed within 30cm (12") from the walls
of the heater and 50cm (20") from the radiation area of the glass
tube.
7. Accessible parts may become hot during use. Do not touch the
heater during operation. The heater will remain hot for some time
after use. Use mitts able to provide adequate protection against heat
when handling the heater. Do not move the heater when in use.
8. Do not attempt access to the hopper, viewing tower, ash drawer or
glass tube while the unit is in use. Wait until the fire has burned out
and the unit is completely cool before accessing these areas.
9. Keep children away from the heater at all times.
10. Fuel the heater with wood pellets only. Do not burn any other
materials, including liquids. Do not burn wood chips, chipboard, MDF,
any painted or otherwise finished wood (resins, foils, lacquers,
varnish, etc.). The use of wood types other than pellets may
generate toxic combustion gases and cause damage to the heater
and/or environs. The combustion of the aforementioned types of
wood may be prohibited by law. Never introduce paper, plastics,
silicone, or any other materials, other than wood pellets, which can
cause undesirable combustion effects.
11. Be attentive to the care and control of the heater throughout
operation. Do not use the heater while physically, mentally, or
otherwise impaired, under the influence of alcohol, narcotics
or drugs.
