6 - 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 el-
derly and other people who require special supervi-
sion, 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 super-
vised 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. The use of heat resistant gloves are recom-
mended when in contact with the fireplace.
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 rec-
ommendations included in this manual are followed:
1. When installing the fireplace, observe the neces-
sary safety distances for the oven and chimney
from combustible surfaces (wooden or papered
walls, wooden floors, furniture, curtains, ...). Safe-
ty distances must be respected when the lining on
walls or nearby areas may be damaged or de-
formed by temperature (varnish, paint, PVC...).
Fig. 8
2. Ensure that the top hot air grilles are not installed
on combustible elements.
3. Ash should be emptied into a metal container and
immediately removed from the house (Make sure
these are completely cold and without embers).
4. Never use flammable liquids to light the hearth.
Keep any type of flammable liquid (petrol, alco-
hol...) away from the hearth.
5. Never use coal or fuels that are not recommended
for the operation of this product.
6. Periodically inspect the chimney and clean when-
ever necessary. Also inspect the state of joints,
glass, screws....
7. Protect your hands with a glove or other insu-
lating material because, during operation, the
handle will get hot.

HOW TO ACT IN CASE OF OVERHEATING OR IF THERE
IS A FIRE IN THE CHIMNEY:
If you should detect any overheating of the fireplace
caused by:
-Circulation failure.
-Faulty thermostat.
You should shut down the device in order to avoid
damaging cast iron parts. Follow these recommenda-
tions:
• Do not add any more fuel
• Close all air inlets to the appliance, even close the
air inlets to the room where it is installed. This will
cause the flame to go out by itself.
Should there be a fire in the chimney, follow the
same steps as indicated above. Call the emergency
services as soon as possible.
