3.0 Safety precautions

3.1 Fire preventive measures
Any use of the fireplace may represent some danger. Therefore,
respect the following instructions:
• Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials do not
get too close to the fireplace.
• Let the fire die. Never put it out with water as this may
damage the product.
• The fireplace gets warm when used and may cause burns if
touched.
• Only remove the ashes when the fireplace is cold.
• Ash must be properly disposed of outdoors, or emptied where
it does not entail a fire hazard.

3.2 Air supply

Warning! Please ensure that there is adequate air supply from the
outdoors to the room in which the fireplace is to be installed.
An inadequate air supply could cause smoke gas to escape into
the room. This is very dangerous! Symptoms of this include smoky
smell, drowsiness, nausea and feeling ill.
Ensure that air vents in the room where the fireplace is located
are not blocked.
Avoid using mechanical fan vents in a room with a fireplace.
This may cause negative pressure and draw poisonous gasses
into the room
