ventilate the room.
B) Let the fire out 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 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.
Freezing
Do not light the fire if there is any
possibility that any parts of the system
may be frozen.
Chimney Fires.
If the chimney is thoroughly and
regularly swept, chimney fires should
not occur. However, if a chimney fire
does occur turn the control knob to the
minimum setting, and tightly close the
doors of the appliance. This should
cause the chimney fire to go out in
which case the control should be kept
at the minimum setting until the fire
in the appliance 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.
