Warning Notes
Over-Firing
It is extremely important that you do NOT leave the air control in the fully open position for
extended periods or run the appliance with the door open. Leaving the air control fully open (or
running with the doors open) will lead to “over-firing”. Over-firing is caused when too much heat is
generated within the fire chamber, this will lead to warping, buckling and general damage to the
stove and its internal components. Over-firing can also be caused by an excessive flue draft.

Fumes
Properly installed, operated and maintained, this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes may occur whilst de-ashing and re-fuelling. However, persistent fume emission
is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, the following
immediate actions 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 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 I
dentified and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice
Firebricks
Vermiculite is an industry recognised robust fireproof material which is used by many stove
manufacturers to produce internal firebox linings (firebricks). With care vermiculite firebricks will
give many years of faithful service.
It is important that care is taken whilst refueling your stove in order to protect the internal
vermiculite parts from premature failure.
Never throw or drop logs into your stove as this will potentially damage your firebricks and may
also result in logs bouncing out of the appliance (creating a possible fire risk). Open the door an
inch initially (allowing the fire to settle) then slowly open the door and gently place the log(s) onto
the grate. Always use the glove (provided) when refueling to avoid the common scenario of
dropping the logs in quick (because it’s hot).
Take care when clearing the ash and using the poker tool not to strike and potentially damage your
firebricks.
Always take care when removing the firebricks to avoid damaging them. It may be necessary to
remove the firebricks during general maintenance and chimney sweeping.
Impact damage is the most common cause of cracked vermiculite firebricks; however it is also
possible to crack the firebricks if you over fire your appliance.
