CHIMNEY FIRES
If the instructions in this manual are
followed and the chimney is cleaned once
a year, chimney fires should not occur.
Should the chimney go on fire, close both
air intakes and ensure the door is fully
closed. This should be enough to ensure
the chimney fire dies. If the fire continues,
then call the fire brigade. Do not open the
inset stove door at any time during this
period as it may cause re-ignition. Leave
the door closed until the inset stove is cold.
The chimney must be swept and carefully
examined for damage after a chimney fire.

FUME EMISSION
Fume emission is potentially dangerous.
There will however be the occasional
emission of fumes when opening the door
to clean out ashes or filling the fire.
Take the following actions immediately, if
you suspect persistent fume emission:
1. Open all windows and doors to
ventilate the room.
2. Let the fire go out.
3. Call professional help to find the
problem and rectify it.
4. Do not light the fire until the problem
is rectified.
