be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the following
immediate actions should be taken:
a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room.
b) Let the fire out and safely dispose of the fuel from the appliance.
c) Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required.
d) Do not attempt to re-light the fire until cause of fume has been
identified, if necessary seek professional advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney
blockage. For your own safety these must be kept clean.
Check that :
a) The doors are tightly closed.
b) The air slides are turned down to the minimum setting.
c) The airwash control is closed.
d) A suitable fuel is being used.
e) Door seals and airwash slide are intact.
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should
not occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur close the door air
slides and the airwash control, and tightly close the doors of the
appliance. This should cause the chimney fire to go out in which case
the controls should be kept closed until the stove has gone out. The
chimney and flueways should then be cleaned. If the chimney fire
does not go out when the above action is taken then the fire brigade
should be called immediately.
After a chimney fire the chimney should be carefully examined for
any damage. Expert advice should be sought if necessary.
Fire blazing out of control
Chimney Fires
a) the air inlet is not obstructed in any way,
b) chimneys and flueways are clear,
c) that a suitable fuel is being used,
d) that there is an adequate air supply into the room,
e) that an extractor fan is not fitted in the same room as the stove.
f) there is sufficient draw in the chimney. Once the chimney is warm a
draught reading of at least 2.5 mm (0.10 inches) water gauge (25
Pa) should be obtained.
Differences in chimney draughts mean that the best settings of the air
controls will vary for different installations. A certain amount of
experimentation may be required, however the following points
should be noted and with a little care should enable the glass to be
kept clean in most situations:
a) The airwash relies on a supply of heated air to keep the glass clean,
therefore, when lighting the stove allow the firebed to become well
established before closing the air slides. This may also be necessary
when re-fuelling the stove.
b) When re-fuelling keep the fuel as far back from the front fence as
possible, do not try to fit too much fuel into the firebox.
c) Never completely close the airwash control - as a guide it should
be at least a quarter open.
d) The air slides in the doors may be kept slightly open to assist in
keeping the glass clean.
e) Wet wood or logs overhanging the front fence will cause the glass
to blacken.
It is always more difficult to keep the glass clean when running the
stove very slowly for long periods.
If blackening of the glass still occurs check that all flue connections
and the blanking plate are well sealed. It is also important that the
chimney draw is sufficient and that it is not affected by down-draught.
When the chimney is warm a draught reading of at least 2.5 mm
(0.10 inches) water gauge (25Pa) should be obtained.
Some blackening of the glass may occur below the level of the front
fence. This will not obscure the view of the fire or affect its
performance.

Warning Note: Properly installed and operated this appliance will not
emit fumes. Occasional fume from de-ashing and re-fuelling may
occur. Persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not
