Section 3.0 Operation

3.1Safety Information

1.This insert is designed for safe operation WHEN BURNING CORDWOOD ONLY. Altering or modifying the unit or the installation without proper authorization will void the certification, warranty, and safety listing, and may result in a safety hazard.

2.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, hot embers or ignited fuel may fall 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.

3.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.

4.Even though your Drolet insert has been specifically designed and tested to prevent smoke spillage, always open the door slowly as this will minimize the likelihood of smoke spillage or a back draft causing flame or smoke to spill into the room.

5.Never use gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, solvents, charcoal lighter fluid, or inflammable liquids to start or "freshen" a fire in the insert. Keep all such liquids well away from the insert while it is in use.

6.All insert surfaces become very hot during operation. Care is needed, especially with children, to avoid contacting these surfaces.

7.Do not elevate the fire by means of grates, and irons or other means.

8.CAUTION: DO NOT OVER FIRE THIS HEATER. Do not burn fuel in the insert at a rate higher than that

which will cause the ember bed level to exceed half the door opening height. If burning hot fires regularly, purchase an insert top thermometer, and do not exceed 840o F (450o C) as measured on the cooktop. If the door handle of the insert 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 insert and chimney. This damage is not covered by the warranty.

9.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 it is heavily contacted by any solid object.

10.Never operate the insert 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 insert if there is an abnormal 12
