national or local regulations must be complied with. In the UK this

to avoid disturbing any asbestos when removing an old installation.

FUME EMISSION:
Properly installed and operated this appliance will not
emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and
refuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially
dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission persists, then the
following immediate action should be taken:
(a) open doors and windows to ventilate the room. (b) let the fire go out or
eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance. (c) check the flue or
chimney for blockage and clean if required. (d) do not attempt to re-light
the fire until the case of the fume emission has been identified and
corrected. If necessary seek expert advice
HEAT:
The surfaces of the appliance and the attached fluepipe will
become
extremely
hot- a fireguard should be used if children or the infirm
are present. Flammable materials (including fuel) should not be stored
near to the appliance. If the Hi-Leg unit is fitted and used as a log store,
logs must not be placed higher than the central 'bridging' member.
