∙Even though your 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.

∙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.

3.2FUEL

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 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
