CORRECT OPERATIONS fOR SEASONAL USE AND UNDER ADVERSE fLUE
DRAUGHT OR ADVERSE wEATHER CONDITIONS:
Before a long period of non-use, empty the fuel and ash, remove and clean the baffle
plate and leave all the air controls open to allow ventilation to reduce condensation.
If lighting after a period of non-use, do check that the flueways and chimney are
completely clear.
On days without wind or with fog, down draught may occur. If down draught happens
this results in problems with lighting and maintaining the fire. Use good quality
kindling to start the fire and run the stove at a higher heat setting than normal for a
period after starting up. This will heat the chimney faster and improve the draught. If
down draught is a consistent problem, then you should speak to your installer about
fitting an anti down draught device.
If a flue blockage or adverse weather conditions cause the Hotpod to emit smoke, do
not treat it as merely a nuisance, this smoke will indicate that carbon monoxide is
being emitted into the room.
If your chimney is in an exposed position or a place where high winds are common,
this can create conditions with too much draught in the flue, causing the Hotpod to
over-burn, and be difficult to control. In this situation, a flue draught stabiliser should
be fitted to the flue above the Hotpod which will stabilise the draught .
The flue draught should be 12Pa.
fINALLy:
This Hotpod has been carefully designed and constructed to give clean burning with
optimum efficiency and safety, but as with all appliances these standards will not be
achieved unless it is installed and maintained regularly by qualified persons. It must
also be operated strictly with the procedures given in this manual. If you are unsure
about anything concerning your appliance please contact us or your local professional
for advice.
