Operating your stove
Please note that during the first firing,
we recommend a small fire is lit and
that you slowly increase the
temperature to enable the various parts
to expand normally.
You may also experience fumes and a
haze being given off by the stove during
the first firing and possibly for the next
couple of firings as the paint cures. This is
normal but please ensure that the room is
well ventilated during this period.
The appliance should not be operated in
mild weather with smokeless fuel. Under
certain weather circumstances e.g. fog
the chimney will not draw sufficiently and
could cause asphyxiation.
Await better weather conditions before
attempting to use the appliance.
In the rare event of a malfunction due to
overheating or a chimney fire, the air
control should be shut down completely
and the fuel allowed to burn out. In the
event of a chimney fire, once the air
control has been closed completely, dial
999 for assistance. If the appliance has
overheated, the appliance and flue will
need to be inspected for any damage
before it can be operated again.
