This stove gets very hot when burning and also remains very hot for some time even when the fire is
extinguished, therefore adequate protection must be provided, particularly in situations where there
is a safety risk to children, aged and the infirm. When using this stove in situations where children,
aged and / or infirm persons are present a fireguard manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002

Use the long key provided for operating and adjusting all air controls, including
the riddling control & removal & replacement of ash pan when necessary.
It is recommended that when operating this stove an approved heat resistant five fingered glove is
used of the correct size for the user.
Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation it is possible that
the higher flue gas temperatures from a closed appliance may loosen deposits that were previously
firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the
chimney be swept a second time within a month of regular use after installation.
Chimneys and connectors should be cleaned at least twice a year, by an approved Chimney Sweep.
At least once before heating season and at least once after.
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.
It is important that the flue connection, any appliance baffles or throat plates and the chimney are
swept prior to lighting up after prolonged shutdown periods.
An approved Carbon Monoxide detector
must be
installed into the room of stove installation. If the
alarm sounds unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under “Warning note” above.
