READ THIS BEFORE LIGHTING
FLOODED OR HOT BURNER RISK
Never light a flooded burner – the priming fuel should form a
pool roughly 3 inches across.
If you see more fuel than this, do not light it!
If you’ve emptied a flooded burner your appliance must be
serviced before it is safe to light again.
Just emptying the burner of fuel does nothing to prevent it
flooding again!
If your appliance becomes extinguished you must not light it
again until the burner has cooled to the touch.
Attempting to light a hot burner risks a dangerous explosion!
UNMAINTAINED APPLIANCE
& CHIMNEY RISK
Lighting an appliance that has not seen regular maintenance
can represent a fire safety hazard.
A natural draft diesel appliance will require regular
maintenance to ensure its operation is safe and correct!
If your chimney is coated inside with soot or carbon, it requires
this to be cleaned out to operate safely.
Running an appliance with soot or carbon deposits lining the
chimney restricts the draft that is essential to its safe
operation!
NEGATIVE PRESSURE
This appliance must never be run without an adequate source
of fresh air. This appliance requires a source of fresh air to run.
Fresh air must be fed to the appliance at the same rate as it is
being consumed by the combustion happening within.
Putting this appliance into operation without an adequate
source of fresh air will starve the space of oxygen, causing a
negative pressure which will cause exhaust to be drawn into
the cabin.
If you cannot identify a reliable source of fresh air provided for
this appliance, do not close windows, doors or hatches which
may be supplying it with the air it requires.
CARBON MONOXIDE
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless, flammable toxic gas
created by incomplete combustion of carbon. You cannot see,
smell or otherwise detect the presence of carbon monoxide
without the use of a carbon monoxide detector.
We recommend that a carbon monoxide detector be installed
in the vicinity of this appliance for the safety of everyone who
may be using the space, as carbon monoxide poisoning can
cause serious illness and death.
Carbon monoxide is created through incomplete combustion of
carbon. While gasses created within the appliance will be drawn
up the chimney away from the living space, unbalanced, sooty
flames or carbon deposits in the burner indicate higher levels of
exhaust gasses including carbon monoxide gas.
A natural draft diesel appliance must be well maintained and
operated in a balanced way in order to minimize the risks of
carbon monoxide poisoning.

Before attempting to light this appliance you must read and understand the
safety warnings in this manual.
Failure to do so may put yourself or others at risk.
If you do not understand the potential risks associated with operating a natural
draft diesel appliance, please consult with a licensed service technician before
attempting to put one into operation.
DANGER!
