Lighting Instructions
refuelling on to a low fire bed:
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel
charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried
out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel
charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the
fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
Fuel overloading:
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be ex-
ceeded, overloading can cause excess smoke.
operation with door left open:
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must
not be operated with the appliance door left open except as directed in the
instructions.
dampers left open
Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess
smoke. The appliance must not be operated with air controls, appliance
dampers or door left open except as directed in the instructions.
aerosol sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
Use of operating tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot
when the stove is in use.
Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not
occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur turn off the stove immediately
and isolate the mains electricity supply (if applicable), and tightly close the
doors of the stove. This should cause the chimney fire to go out. If the
chimney fire does not go out when the above action is taken then the fire
brigade should be called immediately. Do not relight the stove until the
chimney and flueway have been cleaned and examined by a professional.
Permanent air vent
The stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to
operate safely and efficiently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fit-
ted a permanent air supply vent into the room in which the stove is installed
to provide combustion air. This air vent should not under any circumstances
be shut off or sealed.
