General Safety Note
•
Properly installed, operated and maintained, this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
However occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. Persistent fume emission is
potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated, open doors and windows to ventilate the room if fume
emission persist.
Let the fire burn out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance. Once the fire is cold, check
the flue and chimney for blockages and clean if required. Do not attempt to relight the fire until the
cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected.
Seek expert advice if necessary.
•
Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as the appliance.
•
An adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation is required. If your stove exceeds
5.0 Kw nominal heat output (Refer to Building Regulations Document J) a purpose provided air vent is
normally required.
However in certain circumstances a purpose provided air vent may be necessary - for example, small
or tightly sealed rooms.
Air openings provided for this purpose must not be restricted.
•
It is important that flue ways are cleaned frequently and the chimney swept regularly. Also the stove
must be maintained in good mechanical order, regular sweeping means at least once per year for
smokeless fuel and a minimum of twice per year for other fuels.
•
If the chimney was previously used for an open fire, it is possible that the higher flue gas
temperatures generated by the stove may loosen deposits that were firmly adhering to the inner
surface of the chimney and cause blockage of the fluepipe. We recommend that in such a situation a second
sweeping of the chimney should be carried out within one month of regular use of the stove after
installation. Also, lock or remove any existing dampers in the flueway.
•
Should it be likely that children, aged or infirm people approach the fire, then a fireguard should be
fitted.
•
Avoid the use of aerosol sprays in the vicinity of the stove when it is in operation.
•
This appliance must be installed as per these instructions and all regulations complied with.
