6.2 Over firing
DO NOT over fire your appliance. Firing the stove at maximum for prolonged periods may result
in over-firing. If the chimney connector or casing glows red the appliance is being over-fired and
this may result in a chimney fire. Other signs include warping and a red-oxide colouring will
demonstrate the over heating of internal parts; body paint which has turned dusty white is also
indicative of such use.
6.3 Chimney fires
Used in the correct manner, with the correct fuel and regular maintenance a chimney fire should
never occur. However in the event of a chimney fire, the following procedure should be actioned
without delay:
Call the fire service—DIAL 999
Immediately close all of the air inlet supplies on the appliance to reduce the air supply to the
stove.
Move items of furniture and combustibles away from the surrounding area of the stove, to reduce
the risk of fire and allow access for the fire service. Ensure access to the loft space is available.
Evacuate the property.
6.4 Periods of non-use (summer months)
Please ensure that your stove is left clean and moving components are well lubricated with a
water repelling corrosion inhibitor for the summer months (during periods of prolonged non-use).
If possible store the throat plate outside the stove. Check all moveable components at regular
intervals to ensure they are moving freely. Allow air movement through the stove by opening the
air inlet control to about half way, open or leave the door ajar. This will allow a free flow of air
through the appliance thus preventing moisture and condensation forming inside the stove and
chimney. This preventative maintenance will ensure your stove stays in the best condition for the
coming winter months.
