 Instructions Part Number IN1180 Ed D1

 IMPORTANT

 

The installation of this appliance must comply with all local regulations, including those referring to

 

national and European Standards before it can be operated. The insert is not suitable for a shared flue.

 

Improper  adjustment, alteration, maintenance or the fitting of replacement parts not recommended by

 

the manufacturer can cause injury or property damage. Do not operate the insert with faulty seals or  

 

damaged glass.

  

 

Ensure all manuals are kept safely and are available for the user at all times.

 

Do not store or use petrol or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other   

 

heating appliance. Do not burn anything but natural wood or approved coals on this appliance.  

 

Due to high operating temperatures of this appliance it should be located away from  pedestrian traffic  

 

and away from furniture and draperies. Do not store paper or wood near the appliance. Any mats and  

 

rugs put in front of the insert should be fire proof and secured to prevent the possibility of tripping.

 

Advise all persons as to the insert’s high surface temperatures, including visitors. If it is possible for   

 

children or infirm adults to come into contact with the insert, fit a suitable fire guard. Never let children  

 

“help” with the insert in any way, even when the insert is cold.

 

It is imperative that all air passageways into, out of, and within  the appliance are kept clean. All    

 

permanent ventilation into the room provided for the insert must remain clear and unobstructed at all

  

times. Consideration must be given to the need for extra ventilation if another heating source needing  

 

air is to be operated simultaneously. If an extraction fan is proposed to be fitted to a connecting area of

  

the house, after the insert has been installed, professional advice should sought from a qualified    

 

engineer.

        If a flue blockage or adverse weather conditions cause the insert to emit smoke, do not treat   

 

 

it as merely a nuisance, this smoke will indicate that carbon monoxide is being emitted into the room.

 

 Turn the insert to its minimum firing rate, open windows and allow the insert’s fuel to burn out before  

 

closing the windows.  Do not re-light the insert without consulting a qualified engineer.

 

In the event of a chimney fire the insert should be turned to its minimum setting and the fire brigade  

 

informed.  Do not re-light the insert until the complete installation has been inspected by a qualified  

 

engineer. 

 

 

 

The appliance should be inspected regularly and the chimney cleaned at least annually. More frequent  

 

cleaning may be required and the advice of a qualified chimney sweep should be sought. Always check  

 

for any flue blockage before lighting the insert after a prolonged shut down.

This insert has been carefully designed and constructed to give clean burning with optimum efficiency and safety, 
but as with all inserts these standards will not be achieved unless it is installed and maintained regularly by 
qualified engineers. It must also be operated strictly with the procedures given in this manual.  

If you are unsure about anything concerning your insert stove please seek professional advice.
