As with any burner it is important from a performance and safety viewpoint that a good deal of consideration be given to the placement of the unit within your camper, dwelling, caravan or boat. - Page 21 CAUTION: On first use please have adequate ventilation - the paint will bake and will give off smoke and fumes for first hour or two, avoid breathing these fumes.

Page 22: Wood Burning
Important! • Regardless of the fuel type you are using it is imperative that both vents are fully closed when your mobile home is on the move. Wood Burning • Start your fire in the normal manner, using firelighters, kindling and dry wood. Initially you may need to open the bottom vent to let the fire draw and get started but after this initial period the bottom vent should be closed and the burning rate controlled by adjusting only the top vent. - Page 23 Manufactured by Tarlan Technical Ltd Salt Water Creek –North Canterbury Phone 03 3136271 Fax 03 3132814 Warranty (customers copy) Purchasers Name_______________________________________________________ Address_______________________________________________________________ Dealer where purchased_________________________________________________ Date purchased_________________________ …………………………………………………………………..
