How Do I Know When I Have A Chimney Fire?

Embers falling down the chimney.
A roaring noise.
Brickwork around the chimney can be very hot.
What Should I Do If I Have A Chimney Fire?
Raise the alarm in the house to let others know.
Call the Fire Service.
Reduce the burning rate of the re by closing down the throat restrictor in a controlled way so not to let fumes
discharge into the room.
Close any ventilation as much as possible.
Place the spark guard in front of the re.
Move furniture and rugs away from the replace.
Feel the chimney breast in other rooms for signs of excessive heat.
Remember chimney res can spread to the rest of the property always call the re service - Never tackle a re
yourself.
Get Out – Stay Out
IMPORTANT:
If you have not already done so, FIT A SMOKE ALARM.
The chimney should be swept before the appliance is installed.
The chimney should be checked regularly to ensure correct evacuation of the ue products particularly
after a prolonged shutdown period.
DO NOT use ammable wall coverings directly above or to the sides of the re which may lead to a re hazard.
Please bear this in mind when installing or decorating.
DO NOT operate the re with a cracked glass.
DO NOT obstruct the hot air outlets by hanging clothing etc. over the hood.
DO NOT touch the external surfaces, air outlet, hood or frame when the re is alight as these surfaces become
hot.
DO NOT modify the appliance in any way. ONLY modications authorised by Jetmaster may be carried out.
Always allow the re to cool before touching any parts except for those that are designed to operate with a tool.
Note that the residual heat in the fuel will remain hot for a considerable length of time.
Only genuine Jetmaster replacement parts shall be used.
A suitable reguard conforming to National Regulations should be used with this appliance to protect
children, the elderly or inrm. Care should also be taken with pets.
If there is more than one appliance in the property then each appliance must be supplied with adequate
combustion air and ventilation so that all the appliances can operate simultaneously.
All res require a supply of air to support combustion and to allow the chimney to draw correctly. Air starvation
will result in poor ue draw and smokiness in the room. Any purpose provided ventilation grille that has been
tted for the re must be checked regularly to ensure that it is not obstructed or blocked off.
