* Before proceeding with the installation, please check whether the intended location allows an easy
access to the unit, to facilitate any cleaning procedures as well as the inspection of the fume outlet
connection;
* Please make sure the air intake vents from the building are not obstructed;
* Ensure that the structure built into the wall is of an appropriate size to house the unit;
* Any materials/objects placed near the unit should be capable of withstanding the heat radiated
through the glass and walls of the appliance, so no combustible materials are allowed;
* A refractory material - refractory cement or other - should be applied around the chimney gasket.
* The use of wood in the finishing may increase the risk of fire. We therefore recommend that any
wood used be adequately insulated, or that no wood be used at all.

Instructions for use
6.1. Fuel
* Only firewood should be used in this type of appliance. The unit cannot be used as an incinerator,
nor should other materials such as coal, painted wood, varnishes, thinners, liquid fuels, glues or
plastics be used as fuel. Also avoid burning common combustible materials, such as cardboard and
straw;
* Do not use exotic firewood as fuel;
* The firewood used with this appliance should have low water content (less than 20%). We
recommend that it should be placed under covered storage for around 2 years after felling, in order to
ensure efficient combustion and avoid creosote build-up in the smoke duct, combustion chamber and
on the glass. See the list in Table 2, for additional information on the types of wood that can be used
in these units;
