swept clean, is sound and free from any obstructions. As part of
the stoves' commissioning and handover the installer should have

CO ALARMS
Building regulations require that when ever a new or replacement
fixed solid fuel or wood/ biomass appliance is installed in a
dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the same
room as the appliance. Further guidance on the installation of
the carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002
and from the alarm manufacturer's instructions. Provision of an
alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing the
appliance correctly or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance
of the appliance and chimney system.
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as
the appliance.
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 8423:2002 (Replaces BS
6539).
HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the
requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act are met.
HANDLING
Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and
site handling.
FIRE CEMENT
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed
to come into contact with the skin. In case of contact wash
immediately with plenty of water.
ASBESTOS
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of
disturbing any asbestos in the course of installation then
please seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protective
equipment.
CHIMNEY FIRES
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires
should not occur. However, a chimney fire can occur, due to
sooting and deposits of creosote in the chimney, if incorrect or wet
wood is used. If a chimney fire does occur tightly close the doors
and all the air inlets on the stove. This should cause the chimney
fire to go out. If the chimney fire does not go out when the above
action is taken then the fire brigade should be called immediately.
Do not relight the stove until the chimney and flueways have been
cleaned and inspected by an expert. The expert should check
for the integrity of the chimney and carry out any remedial work
before the chimney is put back into use.
APPROVED FUELS
Dry well seasoned and natural wood, (hardwood preferred).
