6.4 Warning - Fume / Smoke emissions

Properly installed, with a suitable flue or chimney, operated and maintained correctly, this
appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes when de-ashing and
refuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must
be investigated by a approved / registered installer.
Stop using the appliance if you smell fumes or see smoke escaping.
If fume emission does persist, the following immediate actions should be taken:
• Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
• Let the fire die or extinguish and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.
• Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required.
Seek expert advice from your approved installer. Do not attempt to re-light the fire until the
cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected.

6.5 Refuelling on to a low fire bed

If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel charge, excessive
smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of
glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there
are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling for ignition to prevent excessive
smoke.
Important notes on usage to meet the requirements of Smoke Control exemption -
 Always recharge onto hot embers.
 After re-charging, leave the door ajar for approximately 3 minutes to establish good
combustion.
 Do not leave the appliance unattended until flames are well established.
 Periodic burning out of the fuel bed at high output to combust any remaining charcoal.
NOTE :
The minimum air control setting is governed in manufacture to meet the requirements of
Smoke Control exemption and as a result the appliance will NOT shut down completely when
in the minimum air position setting.
NOTE : It is recommended that wood logs are place centrally against the rear liners,
within the firebox to ensure the most efficient use of the fuel.
6.6 Typical wood burn for nominal output
To perform the most efficient burn at the nominal rated output please consult the
specification table at the rear of this manual. Please note, many factors can effect the
nominal output, so the stated weights of fuel (Seasoned Hard Wood) are a guide, which is a
representation to laboratory burn conditions.
