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 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 900

F (482

C). If you are using a magnetic thermometer, make

sure that the temperature does not exceed 475

F (246

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.
