OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room.
b) Let the fire out and safely dispose of the fuel from the
appliance.
c) Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required.
d) Do not attempt to re-light the fire until cause of fume has been
identified. If necessary, seek professional advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney
blockage. For your own safety these must be kept clean.
Fire blazing out of control
Check that :
a) The door is tightly closed.
b) The air control is pushed in.
c) A suitable fuel is being used.
d) Door seals and air control flap pads are intact.
Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires
should not occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur push the air
control in fully and tightly close the door of the appliance. This
should cause the chimney fire to go out in which case the control
should be kept closed until the stove has gone out. The chimney and
flueways should then be cleaned. If the chimney fire does not go out
when the above action is taken then the fire brigade should be called
immediately.
After a chimney fire the chimney should be carefully examined for
any damage. Expert advice should be sought if necessary.
CO ALARM
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the
appliance. If the alarm sounds unexpectedly, follow the instructions
given under “Warning Note” above.

from the Charnwood Customer Services department who will be
pleased to give advice, if necessary.

appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply in
the smoke control area).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the
Secretary of State in accordance with changes made to sections 20
and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 by section 15 of the Deregulation
Act 2015. Similarly in Scotland appliances are exempted
