• THIS STOVE IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH THE DOOR OPEN. THE DOOR MAY BE OPEN ONLY DURING LIGHTING PROCEDURES. NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN. • HOT WHILE IN OPERATION, KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS. WEAR GLOVES TO OPERATE YOUR STOVE. CAUTION • THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL TIMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS. • THE USE OF SOME TYPES OF PRESERVATIVE-TREATED WOOD AS A FUEL CAN BE HAZARDOUS. • DO NOT USE A GRATE IN THIS UNIT. 3.1 SAFETY INFORMATION • These stoves are designed for safe operation WHEN BURNING WOOD ONLY. Altering or modifying the unit or installation without proper authorisation will void the certification, warranty, and safety listing, and may result in a safety hazard. • For safety reasons, never leave the unit unattended with the door open or ajar. An open door, and especially a door partially open or cracked, if left for longer than required for good ignition can potentially result in unsafe chimney temperatures, and if left unattended, in hot embers or ignited fuel falling out of the unit. Prolonged door open operation is not necessary provided the unit has been properly installed and dry kindling is used to start the fire. • Do not abuse the unit, either by over firing or by using wood or combustibles with salt content, or harmful chemicals. Misuse is not covered by warranty. • Even though your E.P.A Drolet stove has been specifically designed and tested to prevent smoke spillage, always open the door slowly as this will minimise the likelihood of smoke spillage or a back draft of flame or smoke into the room. • Never use gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, solvents, charcoal lighter fluid, or inflammable liquids to start or "refresh" a fire in the stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use. • All stove surfaces become very hot during operation. Care is needed, especially with children, to avoid contact with those surfaces. • Do not elevate the fire by means of grates. • CAUTION: DO NOT OVER FIRE THIS HEATER. Do not burn fuel in the stove at a rate higher than that which will cause the ember bed level to exceed half the door opening height. We strongly recommend that you purchase a chimney (flue) thermometer. There are two types of thermometers: probe thermometers and magnetic thermometers (the later is also called “stove top thermometer”). If you are using a probe thermometer, make sure that the temperature does not exceed 900oF (482oC). If you are using a magnetic thermometer, make sure that the temperature does not exceed 475oF (246oC). If the door handle of the stove becomes excessively hot to the touch, consider this to be an indication of over firing. Over firing can result in a safety hazard and can permanently damage the stove and chimney. This damage is not covered by the warranty. • Although the ceramic glass is extremely durable under any normal use, a few precautions are required. Do not attempt to push logs further into the fire by using the door, as the glass may break if any solid object heavily contacts it. • Never operate the stove with the door open, or cracked slightly open, except briefly during the lighting operation, and during refuelling. Leaving the door open continuously could seriously overheat the chimney and adjacent combustibles. Do not operate the stove if there is an abnormal air leakage into the stove, such as through deteriorated gaskets or cracked or broken glass. Do not operate the stove without a door gasket. Leakage can result in overheating, or in very airtight homes, could possibly cause smoking into the room. Smoke may contain carbon monoxide, which is poisonous, and in sufficient quantities, is a health hazard. 3.2 FUEL Fuel for the stove must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles (heat sensitive materials). NEVER STORE WOOD IN THE ASH PAN COMPARTMENT. Your E.P.A Drolet stove is designed to burn WOOD ONLY. Do not burn coal, charcoal, or trash in the unit. Highly flammable items such as trash may ignite creosote in the chimney (flue), resulting in a chimney fire. Never burn salt wood, beach wood, chemically treated wood, or wood removed from salt water, since the deposits left will deteriorate the firebox. Damage caused by chemicals or salt is not covered under warranty. Seasoned cord wood is recommended. Wood should be air dried in a covered and ventilated area for a minimum of six months (one year or more is recommended). This reduces the moisture content of the wood, resulting in a better stove performance. Wood species with moisture content of 20% or less are ideal. Dry, seasoned cord wood, can be distinguished from green wood by the cracks at each end of the logs. Wet or green wood will tend to cause the fire to smoulder, producing large amounts of creosote. Creosote buildup could result in a chimney fire. This wood will also prove difficult to keep burning properly, and fires will te...
