Air controls 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.
WARNING- The high temperature paint covering the stove will give off some fumes during the initial
few uses of the stove. The fumes are non-toxic, but some people may find them unpleasant – Ensure
the area is well ventilated during this period.
Under certain abnormal weather conditions, e.g. down draughts, it may be difficult to get sufficient
draw through the appliance to achieve good combustion. When this happens, the stove should not be
used.
IMPORTANT: -
As of October 2010, it is a legal requirement to use a Carbon Monoxide Detector in the same room as
the stove. This needs to incorporate a battery which lasts the life of the detector.
When cold, the inside of the stove should be given a regular sweep out.
The flue and flue pipe will require cleaning with a suitable chimney brush, to minimise build-up of soot
and tar. Your chimney will also require periodic sweeping. We would suggest using a registered and
qualified chimney sweep.
If the glass becomes stained from the inside, the air-wash vent may need opening more during use.The
high temperature paint which your stove is finished in should last many years with normal use, but
