SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. The heater is intended for outdoor heating use only and should
not be used for any other purpose. The heater should not be
used as an incinerator.
2. Before using the heater, the operator must read and know all the
safety precautions outlined herein.
3. Adhere to all regulations and laws concerning the installation and
use of the heater. Do not install the unit: in a manner different
than the one described herein; in the presence of ignition sources
(flames, cigarettes, sparks, etc.); in areas with a possibility of
water jets; close to combustible, flammable and/or explosive
materials; in locations susceptible or close to fire. Do not smoke
or approach with devices that can generate combustion
(cigarettes, lighters, flames, etc.) while using the heater.
4. Although an unlikely occurrence, it is recommended that the user
has easy access to a standard carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguisher
at all times in case of an uncontrolled fire.
5. Place the heater on a floor or platform with load-bearing
capacity sufficient to sustain the weight of the heater.
6. No objects should be placed within 30cm (12") from the walls
of the heater and 50cm (20") from the radiation area of the
glass tube.
7. Accessible parts may become hot during use. Do not touch the
heater during operation. The heater will remain hot for some
time after use. Use mitts able to provide adequate protection
against heat when handling the heater. Do not move the heater
when in use.
8. Do not attempt access to the brazier (pellet hopper), heating
tower, ash collection drawer or glass tube while the unit is in use.
Wait until the fire has burned out and the unit is completely
cooled before attempting access to these areas.
9. Keep children away from the heater at all times.
10. Fuel the heater with wood pellets only. Do not burn any other
materials, including liquids. Do not burn wood chips, chipboard,
MDF, any painted or otherwise finished wood (resins, foils,
lacquers, varnish, etc.). The use of wood types other than pellets
may generate toxic combustion gases and cause damage to the
heater and/or environs. The combustion of the aforementioned
types of wood may be prohibited by law. Never introduce paper,
plastics, silicone, or any other materials, other than wood pellets,
which can cause undesirable combustion effects.
11. Be attentive to the care and control of the heater throughout
operation. Do not use the heater while physically, mentally,
or otherwise impaired, under the influence of alcohol, narcotics
or drugs.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (continued)
12. The metallic sheathing of the glass tube and the door of the
internal brazier must be kept closed during use of the heater.
Make use of the key only to refill the brazier; do not leave the
key in the door.
13. Never exceed a maximum pellet load of 9kg (20lbs). Do not fill
the brazier with quantities of pellets lower or higher than those
indicated. Overloading may cause damage to the heater.
14. If you see smoke, introduce another piece of fire starter in order
to support proper combustion.
15. Clean the heater regularly. Neglecting to do so may cause
deterioration that could adversely affect the life of the heater
and/or lead to dangerous situations.
16. Remove any combustion residue from the glass tube and
internal brazier after every use. Dispose of any materials from
the internal collection drawer. Be aware that these materials
may still be hot. Ensure the heater is completely clean and cold
before storage.
17. Check for obstructions before using the heater, especially after a
long period of inactivity.
18. Repair, replacement, maintenance, or any other work, must only
be performed by qualified technicians and in accordance with
governing laws and regulations. Do not modify the heater.
19. In case of fire, use carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguishers. Do not
use water or powder extinguishers.
20. Do not use any accessories other than those supplied.
21. Do not cover, damage or remove the licence and/or technical
plates affixed to the heater and/or accessories.
