Installation instructions
Properly installed, operated and maintained, this appliance will not emit fumes into
the
dwelling. However
occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur.
Persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume
emission does persist, open doors and windows to ventilate the room. Let the fire
burn out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the
appliance. Once the fire is cold,
check the flue and chimney
for blockages and clean if required. Do not attempt to
relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and
corrected. Seek expert advice if necessary
.
Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as the appliance.
It is important that flue ways are cleaned frequently and the chimney swept regularly.
Also the stove must be maintained in good mechanical order. Regular sweeping
means
at least once a year for smokeless fuel and a minimum of twice a year for other
fuels.
If the chimney was previously used for an open fire, it is possible that the higher flue gas
temperatures generated by the stove may loosen deposits that were firmly adhering to
the inner surface of the chimney and cause blockage of the fluepipe. We recommend that
in such a situation a second sweeping of the chimney should be carried out within one
month of regular use of the stove after installation. Also, lock or remove any existing
dampers in the flue-way.
Should it be likely that children, aged or infirm people approach the fire, then a fireguard
should be fitted.
Avoid the use of aerosol sprays in the vicinity of the stove when it is in operation.
This appliance must be installed as per these instructions and regulations complied with.
No modifications or alterations of any kind are permitted.
