Stop using the appliance if you smell fumes or see
smoke escaping.

• Let the re die or extinguish and safely dispose of fuel
from the appliance.
• Check for ue or chimney blockage, and clean if

emission has been identied and corrected.
5.3.1 Refuelling on to a low re bed
If there is insucient burning material in the rebed to light a new fuel
charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried
out onto a sucient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel
charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the
re bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke
