IMPORTANT NOTES
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 go 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 cor-
rected. 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.
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
6539.
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 pro-
longed 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.
