FIRE EXTINGUISHER:
Every home should have at least one fire extinguisher. An approved "class a-b-c" extinguisher
should be mounted on the wall near an exit and close to the appliance, but not so close that
accessibility to the extinguisher could be blocked by a fire. Your local fire department can
advise you concerning the most appropriate location.
BUILDIING AND FIRE CODES, PERMITS AND INSPECTIONS:
The installation of this pellet appliance must comply with your local building and fire codes.
Always contact your local building inspector and/or fire department before beginning the
installation process. If required, obtain a permit before installation and have the completed
installation inspected. Remember that not complying with building and/or fire codes may
jeopardize your homeowner's insurance.
CHILDREN:
Do not allow children to play near the appliance or with the controls. Severe burns may be
inflicted by touching the door or glass, the front, sides or top of the appliance. Train children to
stay away from the appliance, and never leave children unattended in the room when the
appliance is in operation.
SMOKE DETECTORS AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS:
Install at least one smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector on each floor of your home to
ensure your safety. They should be located away from the pellet appliance and close to the
sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector and carbon monoxide manufacturer's placement
instruction and maintenance instructions. Your local fire department may provide assistance in
selecting smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, or contact the Consumer Product
Safety Commission, Washington, DC 20207.
The appliance area must be kept clear from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
