WARNING NOTE
Ensure the ash pan is in place before lighting the fire, or air controls will not function and over-firing will
occur.
Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional
fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially
dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate
action should be taken:
(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave the premises.
(b) Let the fire go out.
(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 flueway or chimney blockage. For your own safety these
must be kept clean at all times.
