Operating instructions
2.1
Basic safety rules
2.1.1
General points
Your Totem fireplace is fitted with foldaway swinging doors which allow it to operate with the door
lowered (shut) in complete safety and the door raised (open) like a traditional fireplace.
When using the fireplace with the door raised (open), the fireplace must be permanently supervised.
Watch out for flying embers.
It is essential to wear protective gloves or use the safe handling tool to handle the door.
When the door is lowered (shut) the accessible surfaces of the frame of the door and the vitro-
ceramics rise considerably in temperature when the appliance is in operation and can cause burns
when touched.
Explain the risks of burns to children and ensure that they are not close to the fireplace when it is in
use.
It is strictly forbidden to open the swinging door when the appliance is in use (see page 8)
2.1.2
Fire hazard zone
Do not store flammable items within an 80 cm radius
around the fireplace door.
(logs, tables, chairs, firelighters…)
No flammable material must be placed in the appliance’s
fire hazard zone.
