FUME EMISSION:
Properly installed and operated this appliance will
not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes from de-ashing
and refuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is
potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission
persists, then the following immediate action should be taken:
(a) open doors and windows to ventilate the room. (b) let the fire go
out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance. (c) check
the flue or chimney for blockage and clean if required. (d) do not
attempt to re-light the fire until the case of the fume emission has
been identified and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice
HEAT:
The surfaces of the appliance and the attached fluepipe will
become
extremely
hot- a fireguard should be used if children or the
infirm are present. Flammable materials (including fuel) should not
be stored near to the appliance. If the Hi-Leg unit is fitted and used as a log store, logs must not be placed higher than the
central 'bridging' member.
