It is absolutely forbidden to use flammable liquid for
equipment firing up.
If the substrate, on which the equipment is located, is
made of inflammable materials, such as parquet or
floor lining then you should place a protective plate un-
der it (the plate should protrude 250-300 mm from the
front of the equipment).
2.2. WARNINGS RELATED TO OPERATION
Equipment should be shutdown in case of failure or in-
correct operation.
Fuel used in the fireplace insert should meet the con-
ditions described in this manual.
Internal parts of the fireplace insert should not be
washed with water.
Do not allow contact with water, and first of all, do not
wash any varnished coatings before they cure. The
coating of new devices is not an anti-corrosion coating,
heat-resistant paint only gains its protective properties
after curing under the influence of heat (after several
firings).
Do not expose the body to the action of hot air for a
long period of time. Do not heat excessively the room
where you are staying and where the equipment is in-
stalled. It may have an adverse impact on physical
condition and be a reason for health problems.
Equipment should be installed in rooms with fire pro-
tection and equipped with all required components
such as supply (with air) and flue gas discharge.
Fireplace insert and cladding made of ceramics should
be stored in rooms free from moisture and they cannot
be exposed to adverse effects of the weather.
It is not recommended to place body of the fireplace
insert directly on the floor and if such floor is made of
inflammable materials it should be properly insulated.
To facilitate possible interventions by the technical
personnel you should not place the fireplace insert in-
side the closed rooms and just by the walls what can
also disturb air intake.
Always make sure and check whether doors of the
combustion chamber are tightly closed when the
equipment is operating.
Equipment consumes exact amount of air which is re-
quired for combustion process; it is recommended to
connect the fireplace insert to air intake from outside
using suitable pipe and through a special outlet lo-
cated at the back of the equipment.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In case of any problems you should contact sales out-
let or qualified personnel authorized by DEFRO. Re-
quest original spare parts if the repair is necessary.
Use only fuel with properties compatible with the rec-
ommendations of this operating manual.
Check and clean flue gas discharge ducts (connecting
piece to flue) periodically.
Store this manual carefully because it should be avail-
able for a whole period of equipment operation. In
case of sale of giving the equipment to the other user
you should always make sure whether the product has
the manual enclosed.
Request a new copy from an authorized sales outlet in
DEFRO company if it has been lost.
