Safety Notes for your guidance
FIRES CAN BE DANGEROUS
– Always use a fireguard in the presence of children, the elderly or the
infirm.
DO NOT perform modifications to the appliance as this could seriously compromise safety in
operation.
DO NOT OVERFIRE
– it is possible to fire the stove beyond its design capacity, this could damage the
stove, so watch for signs of over firing – if any part of the stove starts to glow red, the fire is in an over fire
situation and the controls should be adjusted accordingly. Never leave the stove unattended for long periods
without first adjusting the controls to a reduced and safe setting – careful air supply control should be
exercised at all times.
CO ALARMS
Building Regulations require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass
appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the same room as the
appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS
EN50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s instructions.
Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing the appliance correctly
or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney system.
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm sounds
unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under “Warning Note” below.
WARNING NOTE – FUME EMISSION
Properly installed, operated and maintained this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional
fumes from de-ashing 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: -
1.
Open doors and windows to ventilate room and then leave the premises
2.
Let the fire out
3.
Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required
4.
Do not attempt to re-light the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and
corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney blockage. For your own safety these must
be kept clean at all times
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE
•
Raise the alarm to let others in the house know.
•
Call the Fire Brigade
•
Reduce the appliance-burning rate by closing all air controls fully.
•
Move furniture and rugs away from the fireplace and remove any nearby ornaments.
•
Place a fireguard or spark guard in front of the stove.
•
Feel the chimneybreast for sign of excessive heat.
If the wall is becoming hot, move the furniture away. Ensure that the Fire Brigade can gain access to your
roof space in order to check this area for signs of fire spread
