OPERATION
WARNING:
When
properly installed and operated this appliance should only emit fumes during fuelling and de-
ashing. The stove is designed to be operated only with the doors shut. To prevent fume spillage only open the doors
for ignition, refuelling and cleaning. Persistent fume emission is dangerous and in certain circumstances could be
fatal and should not be tolerated. If you experience heavy or persistent fume emission please follow the procedure
below.
•
Open all windows or doors to ventilate the area.
•
Extinguish the fire and if safe to do so remove fuel from the appliance.
•
Check for blockages in the appliance and clear if possible. Particular attention should be paid to the throat
plate which should be removed and cleaned at least once per month.
•
Have the chimney checked by a professional person for any sign of blockage.
•
Do not attempt to relight the appliance until the source of the blockage has been determined and cleared.
•
Seek professional opinion on the cause of the blockage if in any doubt.
You may also find a smell from the appliance on initial lighting while the paint cures. Stove paint must be baked on
to the surface of an appliance to cure. During the first few hours of burning, there will be some fumes / smoke as the
paint bakes on. When the body of the appliance is properly heated, it usually takes about an hour or so after that to
bake / cure the paint. It is wise to ventilate the room well by opening windows / doors during this time and where
possible, leave the room.
In the event of a chimney fire, immediately close the door and move the air wash to the closed position. Turn off the
thermostat and call for aid as needed. A chimney fire can cause significant damage to the chimney construction and
must be assessed by a professional before relighting your appliance.
Never burn plastics, household waste or liquids in your stove.
