Prohibited kinds of fuel: coal and coal derivatives, briquettes, straw, woodwork
chippings and wood under 10% humidity, plastic objects and rubbish. Moreover, it
is prohibited to use chemical products and all kinds of inflammable liquids for
combustion and facilitating the lighting up.
!
Never use water to extinguish fire in the fireplace.
!
Do not touch the device during operation because of the risk of burning.
!
Wear the protective gloves attached to the fireplace insert.
!
Clean the furnace regularly to avoid excessive accumulation of ash.
!
Do not leave the insert with door open or ajar unattended while the fuel is burning
inside.
!
Parts such as the grate, deflector and gaskets are not covered by the guarantee and
ought to be replaced during technical inspections, depending on wear.
!
Technical inspections ought to be performed once a year by Authorised KFD Fitters.
!
Lack of the deflector may cause excessive negative pressure which causes too
violent combustion, excessive consumption of wood and, respectively, overheating
of the device.
! To avoid the hazard of explosion in the fireplace insert, cleaning of the glass pane
may only be performed while the device is cold.
! Use of any liquid substances such as alcohol, petrol, petroleum, etc. is prohibited.
! Combustion residues (ash) ought to be picked up to a hermetic container resistant
to the heat of embers.
! The device may not be used at a place where emission of any kind of vapours takes
place (e.g. petroleum, glue for linoleum, etc.). Do not leave combustible materials
nearby the device.
Warn children not to touch the device while in operation or
immediately after extinguishing.
! In case of occurrence of a fire in the fireplace or in the chimney:
i. close the fireplace insert door
ii. close the supply of combustion air
iii. extinguish the fire using carbon dioxide extinguishers (CO
2
, dry
power extinguishers)
iv. immediately call the fire brigade.
! Never light up the fireplace insert if vapours of gases or combustible dusts are
present in the room (e.g. after lacquering or scraping of wooden floors).
!
Do not allow overheating of the device, evidenced by metal incandescence. If this
occurs, reduce the supply of air and, consequently, the rate of combustion. If this
fails, let the fire extinguish. Incandescence of metal elements (red colour) may
cause damage to the device. This type of damage is excluded from guarantee of the
fireplace insert.
!
Unauthorised alterations of the fireplace insert and the fireplace are prohibited.
