Safety Information - Enerzone Solution 1.8 Installation Manual

3.1 SAFETY INFORMATION

• These stoves are designed for safe operation
modifying the unit or installation without proper authorisation will void the certification,
warranty, and safety listing, and may result in a safety hazard.
• For safety reasons, never leave the unit unattended with the door open or ajar. An open
door, and especially a door partially open or cracked, if left for longer than required for
good ignition can potentially result in unsafe chimney temperatures, and if left
unattended, in hot embers or ignited fuel falling out of the unit. Prolonged door open
operation is not necessary provided the unit has been properly installed and dry kindling
is used to start the fire.
• Do not abuse the unit, either by over firing or by using wood or combustibles with salt
content or harmful chemicals. Misuse is not covered by warranty.
• Even though your E.P.A Enerzone has been specifically designed and tested to prevent
smoke spillage, always open the door slowly as this will minimise the likelihood of
smoke spillage or a back draft of flame or smoke into the room.
• Never use gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, solvents, charcoal lighter fluid, or
inflammable liquids to start or "refresh" a fire in the stove. Keep all such liquids well
away from the stove while it is in use.
• All stove surfaces become very hot during operation. Care is needed, especially with
children, to avoid contact with those surfaces.
• Do not elevate the fire by means of grates.
