Fireplace insert Safety

When properly maintained and operated your fireplace insert should give you many years of service. However there are

important safety aspects of these products that you need to be aware of when operating a wood fireplace insert.

1. Only use solid wood fuel. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal, lighter fluid, naphtha,

engine oil, or similar liquids to start or 'freshen up' a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the

fireplace insert while it is in use. Do not burn garbage in the fireplace insert.

2. The burning of wood gives off gases which can be extremely dangerous. The fireplace insert is designed that under

normal operating circumstances these gases pass up the flue chimney system and cannot escape into your home,

however it is important that your flue system is properly installed and that you check all joints regularly to ensure that

there are no cracks or gaps, check the door sealing rope and replace when damaged. We recommend a smoke

alarm be fitted in rooms where fireplace inserts are installed. Do not use fireplace insert in a room where negative

pressure conditions may occur, such as through the use of extraction fans unless an adequate air supply into the

room is ensured, as this may draw air through the fireplace insert and cause products of combustion to escape into

the room.

3. Creosote and soot may accumulate in your flue pipe and chimney. This may ignite, causing a chimney fire. If you

suspect a chimney fire evacuate people from the building, close down the air controls on the fireplace insert and call

the Fire Department. To prevent the accumulation of soot or creosote, check flue and chimney regularly and clean as

necessary. Good burning, hot fireplace inserts will generally cause a lot less build-up than slow burning fireplace

inserts. Likewise dry wood will cause less build-up than wet wood. We recommend a fire extinguisher be available

where fireplace inserts are in operation. In the event of a chimney fire do not re-light the fireplace insert until it and

the flue chimney system have been thoroughly checked and repaired as necessary.

4. Fireplace inserts get extremely hot and should not be touched when lit. When young children are in the area, we

recommend the use of a suitable fire guard around the fireplace insert. Always wear protective gloves when

reloading fireplace insert.

5. Never over-fire your fireplace insert. If external parts of your fireplace insert are glowing red then the fireplace insert

is over-firing and your draft settings should be reduced. Never interfere with the draft mechanisms or adjust your air

settings outside those limits set when the fireplace insert is manufactured. Never use a fan to supply air to the

fireplace insert or to extract air from it.

6. All users of this product should be aware of the contents of this manual. Please leave this manual where it is

accessible to fireplace insert users and do not allow anyone to use the fireplace insert that is unfamiliar with its

correct operation.

7. Never use the fireplace insert if any parts are missing or damaged, only use genuine parts as replacements. Never

modify your fireplace insert.

8. DO NOT INSTALL IN A MOBILE HOME.

9. Do not use makeshift comprises when installing the unit.

We hope you have many years of warmth and comfort from your

fireplace insert but please do so safely.
