7 - SAFETY
WARNING!
Gas/log/pellet units get hot when in use.
Consequently, owners must act with precaution and
keep at a distance. Especially keep children, the elderly
and other people who require special supervision, as
well as pets, away from the appliance when it is in use.
Make sure that children or other people who are not
familiar with how the appliance works are supervised
by responsible people when they are near the
fireplace.
In order to prevent burns or children or other people
from coming near the appliance, use a fire grille or
screen.
A number of possible risks may arise when operating
your solid fuel fireplace with fuel of any brand. The said
risks can be minimised if the instructions and
recommendations included in this manual are followed.
•
Keep any flammable material (furniture, curtains,
clothes...) away from the fireplace, at a safe distance
of at least 0,90m. (Fig. 9)
•
Ash should be emptied into a metal container and
immediately removed from the house.
•
Do not use flammable liquids to light the fireplace.
Keep any type of flammable liquid (petrol, gasoline,
alcohol,....) at a distance from the fireplace.
•
Periodically inspect the chimney and clean it
whenever necessary. Also inspect the state of seals,
glass, screws...
FIG. 9
•
Do not install near walls that are combustible or that
feature any type of lining that may be damaged or
deformed by high temperatures (varnish, paint...).
Precautions should also be taken to prevent placing
the hot air grilles on combustible items.
•
Protect your hands with a glove or other insulating
material because, during operation, the opening
and closing handle will be hot.
When installing the compact SERE fireplace, follow the
installation advice below for your own safety:
1. The base where you are going to place your SERE
must be flat and provide a perfect seat for your
fireplace. The base must be built using heat resistant
materials.
2. The gap in which your SERE fireplace will be installed
must be completely free from debris and waste
materials that may ignite when the fireplace is
working.
3. The inside of the gap where the SERE fireplace is to
be installed will be appropriately insulated or built of
materials that resist high temperatures.
4. If insulation must be installed inside the gap, do not
cover the ventilation grille.
5. Never wrap the insert fireplace in insulation material
as this will damage it.

If the power supply cable has been damaged, it should
be replaced by the manufacturer, via its Technical
