The maximum amount of fuel specified 
in this manual should not be exceeded, 
overloading can cause excess smoke.
Operation with the door open can cause 
excess smoke. The appliance must not be 
operated with the appliance door left open 
except as directed in the instructions. 
Operation with the air controls or dampers 
open can cause excess smoke. The appliance 
must not be operated with air controls or 
dampers door left open except as directed

DE-ASHING THE STOVE

Before de-ashing the stove, make sure that 
all the fuel has burned out and the ashes 

has cool down, then use a brush let the ash 
fall from bed of the fire into the ash pan 
underneath. Then take out of the ashpan. If 
you have the vacuum cleaner, suck the ash 
into the vacuum cleaner directly.
If the stove is still burning when you want to 
de-ash the stove, make sure that you take a 
heat resistant glove and use special tools for 
cleaning. Brush and vacuum cleaner are not 
suitable in this case.

WARNING
Take great care when removing and 
emptying the ash pan. It may be very hot 
and still contain burning or smouldering 
embers and is a fire risk.

7.  GUIDANCE ON SAFE OPERATION

FIRE CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS

During operation, the stove and all the fittings 
(door handles and controls) get very hot.

DO NOT OVER FIRE THE STOVE.

It is possible to fire the stove to such an 
extent that damage may occur. Look out for 
parts of the stove or flue glowing red hot. If 
such a situation occurs adjust the air supply 
accordingly to reduce the burning rate.

CHIMNEY FIRE

In the event of a chimney fire:

■ 

Shut all air controls immediately

■ 

Raise the alarm and evacuate the building

■ 

Call the fire brigade

■ 

Do not re-enter the building

FUMES

If installed, operated and maintained correctly 
the stove will not emit fumes into the room 
other than occasionally very small amounts 
when re-fuelling or de-ashing.

If fumes are being emitted during normal 
operation:

■ 

Ventilate the room by opening all doors 
and windows.

■ 

Let the fire burn out

■ 

Leave the room

■ 

Check the stove, flue and chimney for 
blockages

■ 

Do not re-use the stove until the cause 
of the problem has been identified and 
rectified.

If required seek expert help.

ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS

In a small number of installations, very 
occasionally in specific weather conditions 
(direction of wind) the draw of the chimney 
may be affected causing a downdraught and 
fumes to be emitted into the room. 
If this is the case the stove should not be 
used and advice sought from a professional 
flue installer who would be able to advise 
on possible solutions such as an anti-
downdraught cowl.
