IMPORTANT NOTES
Now that your Aga solid fuel stove is installed and no doubt you are looking forward to many comforts it will pro-
vide, we would like to give you some tips on how to get the best results from your stove.
1. We would like if you could take some time to read the operating instructions/hints, which we are
confident, will be of great benefit to you.
2. Do not burn fuel with a high moisture content, such as a damp peat or unseasoned timber.
This will only result in a build up of tar in the stove and in the chimney and the possibility of a
chimney fire.
3. CLEAN THE FLUE-WAYS OF THE STOVE EVERY WEEK AND ENSURE THAT THERE ARE
NO BLOCKAGES. CHECK FLUEWAYS BEFORE LIGHTING ESPECIALLY AFTER A SHUT-
DOWN PERIOD. PLEASE REFER TO MANUAL FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
4. Before loading fresh fuel into the firebox, riddle fully to remove all ashes this will allow better and
cleaner burning. See Re-Fuelling Section Page 6.
5. Never allow a build up of ashes in the ash pan, as this will cause the grate to burn out premature-
ly.
6. Avoid long periods of slow burning of damp or unseasoned fuel as this will result in tarring flue-
ways and chimney i.e. peat or timber.
7. Allow adequate air ventilation to ensure plenty of air for combustion.
8. Do not burn rubbish/house hold plastic.
9. Clean the chimney at least twice a year.
10. Burning soft fuels such as timber and peat will stain the glass. Regular cleaning will prevent per-
manent staining.
11. Keep all combustible materials a safe distance away from the appliance, please see section for
clearances to combustibles.
12. For safety reasons never leave children or the elderly unaccompanied while stove is in use. Use
a fireguard.
13. Avoid contact with appliance when in use as the stove reaches very high operating temperatures.
14. This appliance should be regularly maintained by a competent service engineer. Use only replace-
ment parts recommended by AGA. Using unauthorized parts will invalidate your guarantee and
may cause damage or injury.

IT IS BEST ADVISED TO OPEN WINDOWS DURING THIS PERIOD.
THIS ODOUR IS UNPLEASANT BUT NOT TOXIC. YOU MAY WISH TO VACATE THE ROOM WHILE THE
PAINT CURES.
