OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

possible to sweep the chimney through the appliance.

First remove the fuel retainer, throat plate and upper baffle (Skye 7 
only). Then sweep the chimney ensuring that soot is removed from 
all horizontal surfaces after sweeping.

In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the appliance 
the installer will have provided alternative means, such as a soot 
door. After sweeping the chimney the appliance flue outlet and the 
flue pipe connecting the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with 
a flue brush.

After clearing any soot from within the stove, replace upper baffle 
(Skye 7), the throat plate (see Fig. 5) and the fuel retainer.

Different types of sweep’s brushes are available to suit different 
flueways. For prefabricated insulated chimneys the manufacturers 
instructions with regard to sweeping should be consulted.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Fire Will Not Burn

Check that: 

a) the air inlet is not obstructed in any way, 

b) chimneys and flueways are clear, 

c) a suitable fuel is being used, 

d) there is an adequate air supply into the room, 

e) 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 1.25 mm (0.05 in.) water gauge (12Pa) 
should be obtained.

Blackening of Door Glass

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) Wet or unseasoned wood, or logs overhanging the front fence will 
cause the glass to blacken.

b) 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 control. This may also be necessary 
when re-fuelling the stove.

c) 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.

d) Do not completely close the air control.

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 1.25 mm 
(0.05 in.) water gauge (12Pa) should be obtained. Some blackening 
of the glass may occur below the level of the fuel retainer. This will 
not obscure the view of the fire or affect its performance.

Fume Emission

Warning Note:

Properly installed and operated this appliance will not emit fumes. 
Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. Persistent 
fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. 
If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate actions 
should be taken:

a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave 
the premises.

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 fuming 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.

Fire blazing out of control

Check that:

a) The door is tightly closed. 

b) The air control slider is fully closed. 

c) A suitable fuel is being used. 

d) Door seals and airwash slide are intact.

Chimney Fires

If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires 
should not occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur close the air 
control, and tightly close the door of the appliance. This should cause 
the chimney fire to go out in which case the controls should be kept
