Use only very dry fuel.
OVER-FIRING:
It is possible to leave the fire too long with the
controls set too high leading to 'over firing', seen as glowing metal
parts, excessive chimney temperature and risk of parts failing or
chimney fires. Always set controls to the lowest practical setting.
SMOKE COMING INTO ROOM
Fumes are poisonous- smoke
emission must NEVER be tolerated, causes might be:
NEW STOVE: There is often a smell and sometimes visible
fumes as the paint cures. This normally stops after an hour or so.
INADEQUATE SEALS: Are all flue pipes and connectors
absolutely
gas-tight? Even the tiniest crack or gap can spoil the
draught. Does an inset appliances fully seal against the fireplace?
BLOCKED THROAT PLATE: Has soot and ash collected on the
'throat plate' above the inner back part of the firebox?
UNSUITABLE, BLOCKED OR UN-SWEPT CHIMNEY: The first
requirement for correct operation is a sound chimney. Check the
requirements earlier in this document and in any case of doubt
engage a professional sweep or chimney engineer.
POOR AIR SUPPLY: Lack of air to the fire is a common cause of
smoking and poor performance. Air supply problems may be
worse in certain wind conditions (often incorrectly ascribed to
'downdraught', which is in fact very rare), where air can be
sucked out of the room. The answer is to fit an air vent, as near to
the fire as possible, facing into the usual wind direction.
DOWNDRAUGHT: Wind can blow
down
a chimney if there is
something higher nearby such as a tree, hill or high building.
Fitting an anti-downdraught cowl to the chimney top can cure this.
Types which cannot be swept through are not recommended.
POOR CHIMNEY DRAUGHT- Chimney draught in use MUST be
at least 12Pa.
CHIMNEY FIRE:
In the rare event of deposits inside the chimney
igniting (roaring sound + dense smoke and sparks from the
chimney) immediately close the door, shut all air controls and call
the fire brigade. Prevent fires by using
very dry fuel
and having
your chimney swept regularly.
MAINTENANCE
MONTHLY
- With the fire cold, remove, clean and refit the throat
(or 'baffle') plate below the flue outlet. Check that the flue is clear
and unblocked, and that the door seals are sound.
ANNUALLY- SWEEP THE CHIMNEY
The entire length of the
chimney from stove to outlet should be swept annually, more
often if smoky fuels are used.
NEW PARTS
Your stove has been extensively tested for safety -
please don't try to modify it and always obtain genuine spare
parts
.
SURFACE FINISH
Wipe the stove body with a slightly damp cloth
when cool. NEVER use aerosol spray or wax near the hot fire –
they can ignite. Painted steel parts can be refurbished using
special spray paint.
Your stove generates
VERY
high temperatures.
Eventually the internal parts will require replacement . Help parts
to last by:
• Using only recommend, very dry, fuels.
• Emptying the ash very regularly when using mineral fuel -never
allow it to touch the underside of the grate.
• Cleaning the throat plate regularly.
• Avoiding 'over-firing'
