Fireguards
Always use a fireguard in the presence of
children, the elderly or the infirm. The fireguard
should be manufactured in accordance with
BS8423 – Fireguards for use with solid fuel
appliances.
Do not Over-Fire
It is possible to fire the stove beyond its design
capacity. This could damage the stove so watch
for signs of over-firing.
If any part of the stove starts to glow red, the
stove is in an over-fire situation and the
controls should be adjusted accordingly.
Never leave the stove unattended for long
periods without first adjusting the controls to a
safe setting.
Careful air supply control should be exercised at
all times.

will not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de-
ashing and refuelling may occur. Persistent
fume emission must not be tolerated.

If fume emission does persist then the following
action should be taken immediately –

Adverse Weather
In a small number of installations, occasional
local weather conditions (e.g. wind from a
particular direction) may cause downdraught in
the flue, causing the stove to emit fumes.
In these circumstances the stove should not be
used. A professional flue installer can advise on
solutions to this problem.

this appliance.
