certain weather circumstances e.g. fog
the chimney will not draw sufficiently
and could cause asphyxiation. Either
await better weather conditions or burn
wood only.
In the rare event of a malfunction due to
overheating or a chimney fire, the air
slides should be shut down completely
and the fuel allowed to burn out. In the
event of a chimney fire, once the air
slides have been closed completely, dial
999 for assistance. If the appliance has
overheated, the appliance and flue will
need to be inspected for any damage
before it can be operated again.

Recommended Fuels

Wood: hardwood such as ash, oak and
beech which have been cut for at least 2
years and stored under shelter. The logs
should have a maximum moisture
content of 20%. Maximum log length
250mm, maximum width 125mm.
Always check with your dealer or directly with the manufacturer as using the
incorrect fuel may invalidate your guarantee and damage your appliance.
