• Do not touch the free-standing fire when barefoot or if any part of your body is wet or humid;
• Do not tamper with safety or adjustment features without the manufacturer's authorization;
• Do not cover or reduce the size of the vents at the installation area;
• The free-standing pellet fire requires a clear space around the unit for proper combustion, so possible air tightness of the
location or any existing air extraction sources in the room may prevent the unit proper operation;
• The existence of vents is a requisite for proper combustion;
• Do not leave the packing materials near children;
• During normal operation, Free Standing Fire unit's door must not be opened;
• Some parts of the unit may overheat during normal operation, so avoid direct contact with parts such as the door handle and
glass;
• Check the existence of any obstructions on the fume duct before turning on the unit after a long period of inactivity;
• This free-standing pellet fire unit is intended for residential use in protected areas. Safety systems may turn off the unit. If
this occurs, contact the technical assistance. In any circumstances should you attempt to interfere with the safety systems;
• The free-standing pellet fire is a biomass heating unit equipped with an electric fume extractor. The occurrence of any power
failure during its use may prevent fume extraction and the room will be filled with smoke. For this reason, you should have a
natural fume extraction system, like a chimney, available;
• Waterford Stanley offers you an optional safety system which allows the Free-Standing Fire unit to be connected to a UPS so
that during any power failure the fume extractor will still operate until complete extraction of all the fumes;
• If you intend to use the Free-Standing Fire unit while you are away from home or unattended, you should use the safety
system specified above for total safety during any power failure;
• During operation, NEVER turn off the free-standing fire unit by disconnecting the electric plug. The fume extractor on the free-
standing pellet fire unit is electric so disconnecting the power plug will prevent the extraction of combustion fumes;
• Your unit must be disconnected from the mains for servicing. Before doing this, the unit must be totally cooled down (if
operating before);
• Never touch the interior of the unit without disconnecting it from the power mains;
• On back boiler models, the maximum temperature of the water that can be set by the user (water set-point temperature) is
85°C. In the event of a temperature of 90ºC being reached, the free-standing pellet fire unit automatically disconnects and the
respective alarm is activated.
