Downdraught: Wind can blow down a chimney if there is something higher nearby such as a
tree, hill or
high building. Fitting an anti-downdraught cowl to the chimney top can cure
this. Types which cannot be swept through are not recommended.
⚫
Poor chimney draught: Chimney draught in use MUST be at least 12Pa.
Chimney Fire:
In the rare event of deposits inside the chimney igniting (roaring sound + dense
smoke and sparks from the chimney) immediately close the door, shut all air controls, evacuate
the premises and call the fire brigade. Prevent fires by using very dry fuel and having your
chimney swept regularly.
Fume Emission
Warning Note
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.
Maintenance
Monthly: Check that the flue is clear and unblocked, and that the door seals are sound.
Annually: Sweep the chimney, the entire length of the chimney from stove to outlet should be
swept. New Parts: Your stove has been extensively tested for safety – please don’t try to modify it
and always obtain genuine spare parts from your stove shop or the manufacturer.
Surface Finish: Wipe the stove body with a slightly damp cloth when cool. Never use aerosol
spray or wax near the hot fire – they can ignite. Painted steel parts can be refurbished using
special stove spray paint. Your stove generates very high temperatures; eventually the internal
parts will require replacement.
