(Please Read This) Operating Safety Precautions - Enerzone BIO-45 MF Owner's Manual

OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
a. If you notice a smoldering fire (burnpot full but no visible flame) AND a heavy smoke buildup in firebox,
immediately TURN OFF the stove, but DO NOT unplug it. Do not open the door, change the damper
setting or tamper with any controls on the stove. Wait until smoke inside the firebox clears and blowers
shut down. Do as instructed in "PRE-START-UP CHECK" and "LIGHTHING PROCEDURE", then attempt
to restart the fire. If the problem persists, contact your dealer. Please note that smoke build-up during
ignition may occur. Smoke can accumulate in the firebox for a few seconds just before the igniter is hot
enough to fire-up the pellets in the burn pot. This is normal. As soon there is fire in the burn pot, smoke will
disappear.
b. DO NOT STORE OR USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY GASOLINE, IN THE VICINITY OF
YOUR ENERZONE STOVE. NEVER USE A GAS OR PROPANE TORCH, GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE
LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR FLUIDS TO START OR
"FRESHEN UP" A FIRE IN THIS HEATER.
c. WARNING: DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS STOVE. This may cause serious damage to your stove and void
your warranty. It also may create a fire hazard in your home. IF ANY EXTERNAL PART OF THE UNIT
BEGINS TO GLOW, YOU ARE OVERFIRING. Immediately press the "MODE" switch on the control panel,
until reaching the 'OFF' position. DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR STOVE. If you leave your house and your
stove is not connected to a thermostat or a fresh air supply, do not leave it at the maximum setting. If the
ambient air in a confined room becomes to hot, the stove may overheat and the thermal protection
on the combustion/exhaust motor may be activated, causing the motor to stop.
d. KEEP ALL LOOSE OR MOVEABLE HOUSEHOLD COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS FURNITURE, DRAPES,
TOYS, ETC. AT LEAST THREE FEET FROM THE OPERATING STOVE.
e. Maintain proper ventilation. It is important that adequate oxygen be supplied to the fire for the combustion
process. Modern houses are often so well insulated that it may become necessary to open a window
slightly or install an outside air vent to provide sufficient combustion air.
f. Since heating with solid fuel is potentially hazardous, even with a well made and thoroughly tested stove, it
would be wise to install strategically placed smoke detectors and have a fire extinguisher in a convenient
location, near an exit.
g. Do not open the stove door when operating unless necessary. This will create a dirty, inefficient burn and
could allow smoke spillage or sparks to escape.
h. Do not permit operation by young children or those unfamiliar with stove's operation.
i. Do not service or clean this appliance without disconnecting the power cord.
j. Do not abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass
removed, cracked or broken.
k. If the stove is installed in a room without air conditioning, or in an area where direct sunlight can shine on
the unit, it is possible this can cause the temperature of the stove to rise to operational levels; one of the
sensors could then make the blowers start on their own. It is recommended that the stove be unplugged
when not in use for extended periods of time (i.e. during the summer months).
