IMPORTANT INFORMATION
As per the German Equipment and Product Safety Act (GPSG) and our
statutory duty to notify, we would like to inform you about heating with this
product.
The decorative fireplace requires a plentiful supply of fresh air when oper-
ated as otherwise the amount of carbon dioxide created exceeds the permit-
ted concentration in the room air.
As a rule, the fresh air supplied is cooler than the room air to be heated
up which results in a loss of energy. The effective heat output of a biofuel
fireplace is thus minimal and, as such, decorative fireplaces which use
biofuel are not sources of heat.
Rather these are merely decorative and are not intended for heating or con-
tinuous operation. Nevertheless, it should be taken into account that heat
is generated as a by-product of the combustion process. This can cause
increased heating in the room where the fireplace is installed.
Observe these operating instructions.
