FIRE AND SAFETY NOTICE: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow the Vento Oven Manual and Health and Safety instructions
may result in oven damage, cause damage to property, cause bodily injuries
or in some cases even cause death.
If you choose to use the oven, it is done so at your own risk. No liability is
accepted by the Stone Bake Oven Company for any injury, damage or loss
incurred.
DO NOT burn flammable liquids or similar at any time in the oven, including
but not limitied to; firelighter fluid, petrol, diesel, lantern oil or kerosene.
DO NOT artificially attempt to induce airflow through the oven, e.g. using a
fan.
ONLY USE untreated dry hardwood as a fuel and DO NOT burn any refuse,
plastics, treated wood; including laminates, charcoal, chipped wood,
pressure treated lumber, sappy wood (for example, pine) or fossil fuels.
ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: We strongly recommend gloves for
use during oven operation. ALWAYS keep children, groups of people and
pets a safe distance from the oven whilst in operation and whilst cooling.
ENSURE all tools and materials used in the oven are appropriate for high
temperatures and take care whilst handling tools. No liability is accepted for
any injury, damage or loss that occurs because non-approved tools have
been used.
BEWARE of high temperatures achieved on the outside and inside the oven
and be cautious of flying sparks. Ensure wood storage is covered by a non-
combustible material. Do not leave the oven unattended.
ENSURE if you install your oven and flue indoors/under cover the appropriate
building regulations and safety restrictions are met. Check with your local
authority.
DO NOT keep any combustible materials, near or within range of the oven
at any time. This includes clothing, furniture, electrics, nearby shrubs or trees,
flammable materials, liquids or the like.
DO NOT touch the oven or flue, or artificially block or cover the oven
entrance at any time during and after operation.
DISPOSE of ashes in a safe way once they are cold. Ensure you regularly
clean your flue parts, failure to do so may result in flue fires.
DO NOT modify the oven in any way from the manufacturer’s design and
specification. “Building in” as detailed by the Stone Bake Oven Company
Build Manuals does not count as a modification.
FIRE PRECAUTION:
Ensure a water fire extinguisher of at least 9 litres capacity (to deal with the
oven and surrounding area) and a bucket of sand are positioned within easy
reach. Although we have tested the use of fire extinguishers on the oven with
no adverse affect, in case of an emergency, we recommend only sand is
used to knock down a fire within the oven. In order to satisfy UK Fire Safety
Legislation we strongly suggest that anyone who may tackle a fire should be
adequately trained by a fire safety professional.
