WARNING!
Gas/log/pellet units get hot when in use.
When heating and cooling, this device can produce
noises due to the expansion and contraction of its
metal parts.
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 device 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 are present when
operating your solid fuel oven with fuel of any
brand. The said risks can be minimised if the
instructions and recommendations included in this
manual are followed.
• When installing the oven, observe the
necessary safety distances for the oven and
chimney from combustible surfaces (wooden
or papered walls, wooden floors...). Safety
distances must be respected when the lining
on walls or nearby areas may be damaged
or deformed by temperature (varnish, paint,
PVC...). Fig. 8
• Ash should be emptied into a metal container
and immediately removed from the house.
• Do not use flammable liquids to light the oven.
Keep any type of flammable liquid (petrol,
gasoline, alcohol,....) at a distance from the
fireplace.
• Never use coal or fuels that are not
recommended for the operation of this
product.
• Periodically inspect the chimney and clean
whenever necessary. Also inspect the state of
joints, glass, screws...
• Protect your hands with a glove or other
