3.0 Safety precautions

3.1 Fire preventive measures
Any use of the fireplace may represent some danger. Therefore,
respect the following instructions:
• Ensure that furniture and other combustible materials do not
get too close to the fireplace.
• Let the fire die. Never extinguish it with water.
• The fireplace gets warm when used and may cause burns if
touched.
• Only remove the ashes when the stove is cold.
• Ash must be properly disposed of outdoors, or emptied where
it does not present a fire hazard.
3.2 Air supply
Warning! Please ensure that there is adequate air supply from the
outdoors to the room in which the fireplace is to be installed.
Ensure that air vents in the room where the fireplace is located
are not blocked.
An inadequate air supply could cause smoke gas to escape into
the room. This is very dangerous! Symptoms of this include smoky
smell, drowsiness, nausea and feeling ill.
Avoid using mechanical fan vents in a room with a fireplace.
This may cause negative pressure and draw poisonous gasses
into the room.
