Even though your E.P.A Drolet 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.
CAUTION: NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL,
KEROSENE, SOLVENTS, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR
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
900
o
F (482
o
C). If you are using a magnetic thermometer, make sure that the
temperature does not exceed 475
o
F (246
o
C). 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.
