WARNING NOTE:
Properly installed, operated and maintained this
stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes from the de-ashing and re-
fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emis-
sion is potentially dangerous and must not be toler-
ated. If fume emission does persist, then the follow-
ing immediate action should be taken:
(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
(b) Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of
fuel from the stove.
(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.

should be given serious consideration.
1. Do not over fire the stove.

CO ALARM
The fitting of CO Alarms in the same room as the
appliance is a compulsory requirement under cur-
rent Building Regulations. For ROI an additional CO
Alarm must be fitted either inside each bedroom or
within 5 metres of the bedroom door, refer to
Building Regulations Part J. Further guidance on the
installation of a carbon monoxide alarm is available
in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufac-
turers 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.
WARNING:-
If the CO Alarm sounds unexpectedly:-
1. Open Doors and windows to ventilate the
room and then leave the premises.
2. Let the fire go out.
PROLONGED PERIODS OF NON USE
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged peri-
od 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 a prolonged shutdown
period.
