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.
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.
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 gener-
ated by the closed stove.
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 appli-
ance to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open.
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).
Use of operating tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when the
stove is in use.
Aerosol sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
