fitted with a guide wheel is recommended. For prefabricated
insulated chimneys the manufacturers instructions with regard to
sweeping should be consulted.

Check that:
a) the air inlet at the rear of the stove is not obstructed in any way,
b) chimneys and flueways are clear,
c) that a suitable fuel is being used,
d) that there is an adequate air supply into the room,
e) that an extractor fan is not fitted in the same room as the stove.
f) there is sufficient draw in the chimney, (once the chimney is warm a
draught reading of at least 0.10 inches (2.5mm) water gauge (25 Pa)
should be obtained).

Keeping the glass clean requires a certain amount of experimentation
due to the differences in the draw of different chimneys. The
following points should be noted and with a little care should enable
the glass to be kept clean in most situations:
a) The airwash relies on a supply of heated air to keep the glass clean,
therefore, when lighting the stove allow the firebed to become well
established before closing the air control. This also applies when re-
fuelling the stove.
b) When re-fuelling keep the fuel as far back from the front firebar as
possible, do not try to fit too much fuel into the firebox.
c) Wet wood or logs overhanging the front firebars will cause the
glass to blacken.
d) There is a bypass slide that can be adjusted to suit the particular
installation. This allows a small amount of airwash air to enter the
stove even when the air control is closed. This can be adjusted to help
with keeping the glass clean when the fire is slumbering.
It is always more difficult to keep the glass clean when running the
stove very slowly for long periods.
Check that all flue connections and the blanking plate are well sealed.
It is also important that the chimney draw is sufficient, (when the
chimney is warm a draught reading of at least 0.10 inches water
gauge (25 Pa) should be obtained), and that it is not affected by
down-draught.
Occasionally some blackening of the glass may occur below the level
of the front firebars. This will not obscure the view of the fire or
affect its performance.

Warning Note: Properly installed and operated this appliance will
not emit fumes. Occasional fume from de-ashing and re-fuelling
may occur. Persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and
must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the
following immediate actions should be taken:
a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room.
b) Let the fire out and safely dispose of the fuel from the
appliance.
c) Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required.
d) Do not attempt to re-light the fire until cause of fume has been
identified, if necessary seek professional advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney
blockage. For your own safety these must be kept clean.

Check that :
a) The doors are tightly closed.
b) The air control is pushed in .
c) A suitable fuel is being used.
d) Door seals and air control flap pads are intact.

If the fire is over-fired it will cause premature failure of the internal
fire parts. Overfiring is occurring when any parts of the fire begin to
glow red. To prevent over-firing ensure that:
a) the door seals are kept in good condition, and that the doors are
sealing correctly,
b) the thermostat on the fire is working correctly,
c) a suitable fuel is being used,
