ASBESTOS
This stove does not contain Asbestos. However, check
that there is no possibility of disturbing any asbestos

intend removing an older appliance prior to installing
your new stove, and you should be aware that the
old appliance or installation could incorporate heat
protective asbestos sheet. Use appropriate protective
equipment and seek specialist guidance at
www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos
– do not underestimate the
potential dangers of Asbestos.
FIRE CEMENT
Some types of fi re cement are caustic and should
not be allowed to come into contact with the
skin. Protective gloves and glasses should be worn
when applying fi re cement. In case of contact wash
immediately with plenty of water. Always read and
follow the fi re cement manufacturer’s instructions.
Care should also be taken to avoid unnecessary
contact between the stove’s surfaces and the fi re
cement as this could damage the paintwork. Any
excess fi re cement should be quickly removed before
it hardens.
HANDLING
The Hi-Flame Inset Convector is extremely heavy and
therefore adequate facilities must be available for its
safe loading, unloading and site handling.
METAL PARTS
When installing or servicing this stove care should be
taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury from
the stove’s metal parts. Particular care should be taken
to avoid sharp edges when handling or attaching the
fl ue liner.
Properly installed, operated and maintained this
stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes from removing ash and
refuelling may occur. However, persistent fume
emission is potentially dangerous and must not
be tolerated.
If fume emission does persist, then the following
immediate action should be taken:
• Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and
then leave the premises
• Let the fi re go out
• Check for fl ue or chimney blockage and clean if
required
• Do not attempt to relight the fi re until the cause of
the fume emission has been identifi ed and corrected.
If necessary seek expert advice
The most common cause of fume emission is
fl ueway or chimney blockage. For your own
safety these must be kept clean at all times see
pages 8 and 9.
If the CO alarm (which should be fi tted at the
time of installation) sounds, please follow the
advice above.
Please note: From 1 September 2014 a CO
alarm will now be a mandatory requirement
for all stove installations in the Republic of
Ireland.
