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.
Below, we shall recommend some rules and advice but, above all else, we
recommend common sense.
1. Keep any flammable material (furniture, curtains, clothes...) away from
fireplace, at a safety distance of at least 90 cm.
2. Ash should be emptied into a metal container and immediately removed
from the house.
3. Do not use flammable liquids to light the fireplace.
Keep any type of flammable liquid (gasoline, alcohol,....) at a distance from the
cooker.
4. Periodically inspect the chimney and clean whenever necessary.
5. 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...).
6. Gas, wood or pellet fireplaces heat up when lit. As a result it is necessary
to be cautious and keep a certain distance away, especially children, old people,
people with special needs and pets while the fire is on.
Make sure that children and anyone else not used to the workings of a
fireplace, are supervised by an older person when near.
To avoid burns and also to protect vulnerable people it is advisable to use a
fireguard or screen. The use of heat resistant gloves are recommended when in
contact with the fireplace.
EQUATION, rejects any liability derived from a faulty installation or incorrect
use and reserves the right to alter its products without prior warning.
