Safety is the most important consideration when using and installing your stove. If not installed and used correctly, a house
fire could result. Installation must comply with relevant national and local Building Regulations and fire safety standards.
IN THE EVENT OF CHIMNEY FIRE, EVACUATE THE PROPERTY AND CALL THE EMERGENCY SERVICES.
Your stove will be heavy and care needs to be taken when lifting - 2 people will normally be required to lift.

Your stove will have several of its components stored inside the stove itself for transportation.
Do NOT drag the stove on its legs – it must be carefully lifted into place.
Inside the stove will also be an ash-pan which sits underneath the grate, and will require regular emptying. You will also find
a detachable tool for removal of the ash-pan.
You will also find a glove which must be used when opening the door or when adjusting air vents when the fire is hot.
