A number of possible risks are present when operating your solid fuel cooker with fuel of
any brand.
The said risks can be minimised if the instructions and recommendations included in
this manual are followed.
Below, we shall recommend some rules and advice but, above all else, we recommend
common sense.
1. Keep any flammable material (curtains, clothes...) away from cooker, at a
minimum safety distance of 0.90 m.
2. Protect nearby furniture with heat resistant materials on the hob and smoke
outlet.
3. Leave a 50 mm. gap between furniture and the sides of the cooker for air to
flow.
4. Ash should be emptied into a metal container and immediately removed from
the house.
5. Do not use flammable liquids to light the cooker. Keep any type of flammable
liquid (petrol, alcohol...) away from the cooker.
6. Inspect the chimney occasionally and clean whenever necessary.
7. Do not place the cooker near walls that may catch fire easily or that have
some type of lining that may be damaged or deformed by temperature
(varnish, paint, PVC...).
8. The metalic parts and the handles of the cooker reach high temperature
during its operation. It is advisable the use of a protective glove to handle the
air valves and the opening and closing of the doors.
