SAFETY NOTES
•
Properly installed, operated and maintained, this appliance will not emit
fumes into the dwelling. However 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, open doors and windows to
ventilate the room. Let the fire burn out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from
the appliance. Once the fire is cold, check the flue and chimney for blockages and
clean if required. Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume
emission has been identified and corrected. Seek expert advice if necessary.
• Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as the appliance.
• An adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation is essential. Air
openings provided for this purpose must not be restricted. This appliance requires
an air supply of 100 square cm.(16 Square Inches) in order to provide an
adequate amount of air for successful combustion.
• It is important that flue ways are cleaned frequently and the chimney
swept regularly. Also the stove must be maintained in good mechanical order.
Regular sweeping will mean at least once per year.
• If the chimney was previously used for an open fire, it is possible that the
higher flue gas temperatures generated by the stove may loosen deposits that
were firmly adhering to the inner surface of the chimney and cause blockage of
the fluepipe. We recommend that in such a situation a second sweeping of the
chimney should be carried out within one month of regular use of the stove after
installation. Also, lock or remove any existing dampers in the flueway.
• Should it be likely that children, aged or infirm people approach the fire,
then a fireguard should be fitted.
• Avoid the use of aerosol sprays in the vicinity of the stove when it is in
operation.
