5 - 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 elderly and other people who require special
supervision, 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
supervised 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.
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.
• Keep any flammable material (furniture,
curtains, clothes...) away from the fireplace, at
a safe distance of at least 0,90m. (Fig. 9)
• Ash should be emptied into a metal container
and immediately removed from the house.
• Do not use flammable liquids to light the
fireplace. Keep any type of flammable liquid
(petrol, gasoline, alcohol,....) at a distance from
the fireplace.
• Periodically inspect the chimney and clean it
whenever necessary. Also inspect the state of
seals, glass, screws...
• 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...). Precautions should also be
taken to prevent placing the hot air grilles on
combustible items.
• Protect your hands with a glove or other
insulating material because, during operation,
the opening and closing handle will be hot.
When installing the compact SERE fireplace, follow
the installation advice below for your own safety:
1. The base where you are going to place your
SERE must be flat and provide a perfect seat
for your fireplace. The base must be built using
heat resistant materials.
2. The gap in which your SERE fireplace will be
installed must be completely free from debris
and waste materials that may ignite when the
fireplace is working.
3. The inside of the gap where the SERE fireplace is
to be installed will be appropriately insulated or
built of materials that resist high temperatures.
4. If insulation must be installed inside the gap,
do not cover the ventilation grille.
5. Never wrap the insert fireplace in insulation
material as this will damage it.
