Harrie Leenders Cylon ­ Instructions for Installation, Use and Maintenance
11
READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOK AND THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE USING THE STOVE
WARNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes
from de
‑
ashing and re
‑
fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and
must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate action should be taken:
‑
(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave the premises.
(b) Let the fire go out.
(c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required
(d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected.
If necessary seek expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flue way or chimney blockage. For your own safety these
must be kept clean at all times.
IMPORTANT NOTES
General
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work and commissioning checks de­
scribed above have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept clean, is sound and
free from any obstructions. As part of the stoves’ commissioning and handover the installer should have
shown you how to operate the stove correctly.
CO Alarm
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm sounds unex­
pectedly, follow the instructions given under “Warning Note” above.
Use of fireguard
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are present a fireguard must
be used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be manufactured in accordance
with BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539).
Chimney cleaning
The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. It is important that the flue connection and chimney are
swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period.
If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney will require sweeping after a month of continuous
operation. This is a precaution to ensure that any “softer” deposits left from the open fire usage have not been
loosened by the higher flue temperatures generated by the closed stove.
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.
