A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Heat & Glo LifeStyle WS-250, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Heat & Glo LifeStyle WS-250 one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of Heat & Glo LifeStyle WS-250. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Heat & Glo LifeStyle WS-250 item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Heat & Glo LifeStyle WS-250 item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

Why don't we read the manuals?

Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Heat & Glo LifeStyle WS-250 alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Heat & Glo LifeStyle WS-250, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Heat & Glo LifeStyle service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of Heat & Glo LifeStyle WS-250.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Heat & Glo LifeStyle WS-250 item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.

After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

    19 OPERA TING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORT ANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE USING STOVE BURNING PROCESS In recent years there has been an increasing con- cern about the quality of our air . Much of the blame for poor air quality has been placed on the burning of wood for home heating. In order to improve the situa- tion, we at Heat-N-Glo have developed cleaner burn[...]

    20 WOOD SELECTION AND STORAGE Burn only dry seasoned wood! Dry and well-sea- soned wood will not only minimize the chance of creo- sote formation, but will give you the most efficient heat output. Even dry wood contains at least 15% mois- ture by weight and should be burned hot enough to keep the chimney hot for as long as it takes to main- tain pa[...]

    21 BURNING GUIDELINES OP ACITY : This is the measure of how cleanly your stove is burning. Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is when an object is totally obscured by the smoke column from a chimney , and 0% opac- ity means that no smoke column can be seen. As you become familiar with your stove, you should pe- riodically check the opacit[...]

    22 MAINTENANCE CREOSOTE Formation and need for removal : When wood is burned slowly , it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled mois- ture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a newly-started or a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lini[...]
