Drolet ECO-65 - Manual (Page 23)

d. KEEP ALL LOOSE OR MOVEABLE HOUSEHOLD COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS FURNITURE, DRAPES,
TOYS, ETC. AT LEAST THREE FEET FROM THE OPERATING STOVE.
e. Maintain proper ventilation. It is important that adequate oxygen be supplied to the fire for the combustion
process. During the winter season, make sure that the fresh air intake is free of any ice as this will starve
the fire of air and prevent the proper operation of the stove. YOUR STOVE HAS TO BE CONNECTED TO
A 4” FRESH AIR KIT. Make sure that the fresh air intake damper is always fully open when the stove
is burning.
f. The stove exhaust fan produces a negative pressure in the room. It draws air from the inside to the outside.
In the same way, other appliances can also create a bigger negative pressure. In this case, as the air
naturally flows from high pressure point to low pressure point, the bigger negative pressure may draw the
smoke from the inside of the stove into the room. The stove can also affect other ventilation appliances,
causing the same effect to them.
g. Not following the instructions contents of his manual may cause smoke spillage into the room and other
potential hazards. It is always recommended to install strategically placed smoke detectors and to have a
fire extinguisher in a convenient location.
h. Do not open the stove door when operating unless necessary. This will create a dirty, inefficient burn and
could allow smoke spillage or sparks to escape.
i. Do not open the ash drawer access panel when operating unless necessary. This will create a dirty,
inefficient burn and could allow smoke spillage or sparks to escape.
j.
Do not permit operation by young children or those unfamiliar with stove‟s operation.
k. Do not service or clean this appliance without disconnecting the power cord.
l.
If the stove is installed in a room without air conditioning, or in an area where direct sunlight can shine on
the unit, it is possible this can cause the temperature of the stove to rise to operational levels; one of the
sensors could then make the blowers start on their own. It is recommended that the stove be unplugged
when not in use for extended periods of time (i.e. during the summer months).
m. Burning any solid fuels generates carbon monoxide in low concentration. This gas is evacuated by the
exhaust venting system. In higher concentrations, carbon monoxide is toxic and may cause death. To
prevent this, ensure that your venting system is gastight.
n. Use only approved fuels in this stove. Some other fuels may be highly volatile, which may cause more
embers to enter the exhaust venting system causing a hazardous situation. Other fuels type, such as
charcoal, can create a higher concentration of carbon monoxide leading to potential poisoning.
