NOTE: SMOKE/SMELL EMITTED DURING INITIAL
USAGE
Some parts of the cooker have been coated with a light
covering of protective oil. During initial operation of the
cooker, this may cause smoke/smell to be emitted and is
normal and not a fault with the appliance. It is therefore
advisable to open doors and or windows to allow for
ventilation.
Lift the lids to prevent staining the linings.
Building regulations require that when ever a new or
replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass appliance
is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must
be fitted in the same room as the appliance. Further
guidance on the installation of the carbon monoxide
alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the
alarm manufacturer’s instructions. Provision of an alarm
must not be considered a substitute for either installing
the appliance correctly or ensuring regular servicing and
maintenance of the appliance and chimney system.
