Fume Emission
Warning Note: Properly installed and operated this appliance will
not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling
may occur. Persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and
must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the
following immediate actions should be taken:
a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave
the premises.
b) Let the fire out and safely dispose of the fuel from the appliance.
c) Check for flue or flue blockage, and clean if required.
d) Do not attempt to re-light the fire until cause of fuming has
been identified, if necessary seek professional advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is a flue blockage. For
your own safety the flue must be kept clean
Fire blazing out of control
Check that:
a) The door is tightly closed.
b) The air control slider is fully closed.
c) A suitable fuel is being used.
d) Door seals and air slide are intact.
Flue Fires
If the flue is thoroughly and regularly swept, flue fires should not
occur. However, if a flue fire does occur close the air control, and
tightly close the door of the appliance. This should cause the flue fire
to go out in which case the controls should be kept closed until the
stove has gone out. The flue should then be cleaned. If the flue fire
does not go out when the above action is taken then the fire brigade
should be called immediately. After a flue fire the chimney should be
carefully examined for any damage. Expert advice should be sought
if necessary
