Detection
The first indication of a chimney fire is usually the noise -
a roaring sound that grows louder as the fire’s intensity
increases. Clouds of black smoke and sparks will be seen
exiting the top of the chimney; in severe fires, flames can
several feet about the chimney.
Action
In case of a chimney fire follow these steps but do not put
yourself or others in peril.
1. Call the fire brigade immediately.
2. Get everyone out of the property.
3. Close down the air supply to the appliance i.e. the
primary air spinner and the flue damper. Limiting the
fire’s air supply will reduce its intensity. If there is a
damper in the chimney connector, plug or close the
opening.
4. If a fire extinguisher is available, open the appliance
door just enough to insert the nozzle of a 4 kg dry
chemical fire extinguisher rated for Class ABC fires.
Discharge the entire content of the extinguisher into
the appliance and shut the door.
5. If possible, wet down the roof and other outside
combustibles to prevent fires ignited by shooting
sparks and flames.
6. Closely monitor all combustible surfaces near the
chimney. During severe chimney fires, these surfaces
can become hot enough to ignite.
After a chimney fire, have the chimney inspected by a
professional sweep or cooker installer.
The cooker has been designed to provide a satisfactory
supply of domestic hot water with or without a limited
amount of heating with a normal day’s cooking providing
the cooker is kept alight overnight and the system
complete with lagged cylinder conforms to the installation
instructions.
In some circumstances it may be possible to overheat the
appliance and the water inside will boil. This will be evident
by the sound of a knocking noise coming from the
appliance and pipes around the house. If this occurs, close
off all air controls and manually start the central heating
pump if fitted. Opening the oven doors and hotplate covers
will help to release heat from the appliance. Be aware that
steam and boiling water will be expended from any open
vent from the heating system probably in the roof space at
the expansion tank.
Always use a qualified service/heating engineer when
servicing is required. Use only authorised replacement
parts. Do not make unauthorised modifications.
