In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the installer will have
provided alternative means, such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney the stove flue outlet and the
flue pipe connecting the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue brush.
Periods of Prolonged Non-Use
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a thorough clean to
remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air through the appliance to reduce
condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open.
Extractor fan
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit
smoke and fumes into the room.
Aerosol sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
Use of operating tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when the stove is in use.
Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur. However, if a chimney fire
does occur turn off the stove immediately and isolate the mains electricity supply (if applicable), and tightly
close the doors of the stove. This should cause the chimney fire to go out. If the chimney fire does not go
out when the above action is taken then the fire brigade should be called immediately. Do not relight the
stove until the chimney and flueway have been cleaned and examined by a professional.
Permanent air vent
The stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate safely and efficiently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fitted a permanent air supply vent into
the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This air vent should not under any
circumstances be shut off or sealed.
USER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the important notices given above before referring to the main instruction book for detailed
operating instructions.
Recommended fuels:
Please note that HETAS Ltd Appliance Approval only covers the use of wood logs on this appliance. HETAS
Ltd Approval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed with the recommended fuels listed
above, nor does it cover instructions for the use of other fuels. The stoves have a refuelling interval of 0.75h to
achieve the nominal rated output. Wood logs should be seasoned with a moisture content of around 20%.
De-Ashing:
It is important that you empty the ash pan at regular intervals and dispose of ash in a safe and
environmentally friendly manner. Always use the operating tools provided and replace the ashpit cover
correctly. DO NOT allow ash to build up underneath the bed as this may cause damage to the grate.
Spare Parts:
For more information on obtaining spare parts, please contact the manufacturer directly using the contact in the
main stove brochure.
