OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The WD6 has an integrated flue damper which has two positions
– open and closed.
The flue damper MUST be in the open position when the fire is being used. To set the flue damper
to the open position, simply push it to the rear of the fire.
If the fire is not being used for an extended period (for example, over summer), the flue damper
can be pulled forward to the closed position, which reduces external noises and drafts.
Ongoing maintenance
. It is recommended that the flue be swept every year (some insurance
companies require this), or more often if required.
