II. FUME EMISSIONS
Occasional fumes from ash clearance and refuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is
potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated.
If fume emission persists, the following immediate actions should be taken:
a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
b) Put the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.
c) Check for flue or chimney blockage. Clean if required.
d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected.
If in doubt, seek expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flue way or chimney blockage. For your safety, these must be
kept clean at all times.
Any permanent air vent provided for combustion must not be blocked off.
WARNING:
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove. This can cause
the emission of dangerous fumes into the room.
III. USE IN A BOAT OR MOBILE HOME
Stoves can be used in these environments, however installation and use requires common sense and care.
It is particularly important to be aware of the proximity of the stove to combustible materials. This poses a
potential fire risk. Please seek expert advice prior to installation and use.
Particular care must also be taken when refuelling and removing ash from the stove. The appliance may
be used with the doors open however a spark guard conforming to BS 6539 should always be used. In
such installations, it is not safe to leave the stove unattended with the doors open.
IV. USE OF A FIREGUARD
In the presence of children, adults and/or infirm persons, a fireguard must be used. This should be
manufactured in accordance with BS 6539.
V. USE OF A SPARK GUARD
A spark guard conforming to BS 6539 should always be used when the stove is left burning with the
door(s) open.
VI. GENERAL USE
For maximum efficiency, the stove should be run with the door(s) closed. The stove should only be run with
the doors open to give a temporary boost to the radiant heat output.
WARNING: Running a stove with the door(s) open for long periods can increase the risk of a
chimney fire.
