9.0 Frequently Asked Questions 

 

1 Do stoves require a chimney?

  All of our multi fuel and wood burning stoves require a 

suitable chimney or professionally installed flue system.  
 

2 How do I clean the chimney?

 You will require a chimney sweep to clean the chimney. 

It is essential to provide a dedicated chimney cleaning access door when installing the flue 
of the stove in some situations. In other situations the chimney can be swept through the 
firebox. 
 

3 Who should install my stove? 

Fireline want you to enjoy the maximum performance 

from your appliance. To ensure this, it is essential that they are installed correctly. We 
strongly recommend that your stove is installed by a suitably qualified installer e.g HETAS.  
 

4 How do I regulate the heat output?

 

Each stove has various air controls, which will 

allow you to easily regulate the heat output and refuelling rate.  
 

5 What warranty do I get?

  Fireline will replace, free of charge, any working part that fails 

(under normal operating conditions) within 12 months of purchase. Consumables such as 
glass, firebox lining boards or stove rope and adhesives are not guaranteed. 

A call out 

charge will apply if our engineer attends any stove problem that is not related to 
product failure.

 

 

6 Where can I get spare parts? 

Your local Fireline stove retailer will be pleased to supply 

spare parts and to provide any other information you require. Alternatively contact Fireline. 

 
7 Can the doors be left open while burning?

 For safety and heat efficiency the doors 

should remain closed. 

 
8 Why is the stove smoking when lit? 

A flue with back draught problems is almost 

certainly the cause of a smoking stove. Also check adequate ventilation is present. A 
qualified fitter should complete both a smoke pressure and flow test prior to fitting the 
stove to ascertain the integrity of the flue. 
 

9 Why should I “Run in” my stove? 

To begin, light a series of small fires over a period 

of a few days to allow the paint finish to cure. The stove is finished with a highly heat 
resistant paint. The finish can be renovated with stove paint available from your local 
stove retailer. If the stove is not “run in” correctly, this may cause the paint to discolour 
and flake. 
 

10 What is Over Firing? 

Your stove should never be used in a manner to cause over 

firing. Over firing can be caused by over loading the stove with fuel, and with primary 
controls open. If any part of stove glows "red" your stove is over firing and your draught 
control should be adjusted to restrict airflow to stove. Over firing can cause permanent 
damage to the appliance, which is not covered by warranty.
