SAFETY RULES
The fireplace radiates a lot of heat through the window glass. Do not place any heat-sensitive materials or
objects closer than 1.20 metres from the glass.
Never operate the appliance without the ash box in position.
When removing ashes, empty the ash box into a metal or non-inflammable container reserved exclusively for the
purpose.
CHIMNEY FIRES
In case of chimney fire, turn the primary air handle on position 3. Leave the door closed.
Remove any easily inflammable materials from the neighbourhood of the appliance.
Call the fire brigade and leave the premises.
Keep a watch on events outside (sparks from the chimneystack, for example).
How to avoid chimney fires
Chimney fires can very often be avoided simply by using dry wood!
Damp wood does not only diminish calorific power, it burns poorly (bistrage of the window) and generates
creosotes (tarring of the flue), which are highly inflammable!
Never reuse the appliance after a chimney fire without assessment by a qualified professional, who must check
damage to the flue, etc.
Mechanical sweeping of the flue is essential. It should be carried out at least twice a year, with at least one
sweeping during the heating season. A certificate should be issued by the sweeping company after completion of
the operation.
Following a long period on non-use, check that flues are unobstructed (insect nests for example) before relighting.
