SUPPLEMENTARY USER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THOSE IN THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET
WARNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional
fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling 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: -
(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room
(b) Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance
(c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required
(d) Do not attempt to relight 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.
IMPORTANT NOTES
General
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work and commissioning checks
described in the installation instructions have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been
swept clean, is sound and free from any obstructions. As part of the stoves’ commissioning and handover
the installer should have shown you how to operate the stove correctly.
Use of fireguard
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are present a fireguard
must be used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be manufactured in
accordance with BS 8423:2002.
If the fire is left unattended a spark guard to BS3248, specification for spark guards for use with solid fuel
appliances should be used.
Chimney cleaning
The chimney should be swept at least once a year for smokeless fuels and a minimum of twice a year
for wood and other fuels. It is important that the flue connection and chimney are swept prior to lighting
up after a prolonged shutdown period.
If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month after installation
to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the stove
and the open fire.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the installer will have provided alternative
means, such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney the stove flue outlet and the flue pipe connecting
the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue brush.
READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET AND THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE USING THE STOVE
