User Instructions
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 well and could cause asphyxiation. Either await better
weather or burn wood only.
In the rare event of a malfunction due to overheating or a chimney fire,
the air slides should be shut down completely and the fuel allowed to
burn out. In the event of a chimney fire, once the air slides have been
closed completely, dial 999 for assistance. If the appliance has
overheated, the appliance will need to be inspected for any damage
before it can be operated again.
