2.4.1- GENERAL PROCEDURES

There are certain risks to be taken into account when operating your solid fuel heater,
whatever the brand. These risks may be minimised if the instructions and recommendations
provided in this manual, are followed.
Next you will find a series of standards and recommendations, although we especially
advise you to use your good common sense:
1. - Do not heat your heater excessively nor for a long time.
2. - Keep any combustible material (furniture, curtains, clothing, etc.) at a minimum safety
distance of 0.90 m
3. - The ashes must be emptied into a metal container and immediately removed from
the house.
4. - Never use combustible liquids to light your heater. Keep any type of inflammable
liquid (Gasoline, petrol, alcohol, etc.) at a distance.
5. - Make periodic inspections of the chimney and clean it whenever necessary
13. - Do not situate the heater near combustible walls.
Warning
Gas, wood or pellet fireplaces heat up when lit. As a result it is necessary to be cautious
and keep a certain distance away, especially children, old people, people with special
needs and pets while the fire is on.
Make sure that children and anyone else not used to the workings of a fireplace, are
supervised by an older person when near.
To avoid burns and also to protect vulnerable people it is advisable to use a fireguard or
screen. The use of heat resistant gloves are recommended when in contact with the
fireplace.
