hETAS ltd Approval;
These appliances have been approved by HETAS Ltd as an intermittent
operating appliance for burning wood logs only.
WArNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes
into the dwelling. Occasional fumes from de ashing and re fuelling may
occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and
must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the following
immediate action should be taken:
(A) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave
the premises.
(B) Let the fire go out.
(C) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required
(D) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume
emission has been identified and corrected. If necessary seek
expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney blockage.
For your own safety these must be kept clean at all times.
CO Alarm
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appli-
ance. If the alarm sounds unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under
"Warning Note" above.
Air Controls
Manually operated air control can be managed by adjusting the air control
valve to increase/decrease the air flow to the stove.
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.

Chimney cleaning

The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. It is important that the
flue connection and chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a pro-
longed shutdown period.
IMPOrTANT NOTES
General
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work
and commissioning checks described above have been carried out correctly
and that the chimney has been swept clean, is sound and free from any ob-
structions. As part of the stoves' commissioning and handover the installer
should have shown you how to operate the stove correctly.
If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney will require
sweeping after a month of continuous operation. This is a precaution to en-
sure that any "softer" deposits left from the open fire usage have not been
loosened by the higher flue temperatures generated by the closed stove.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the
installer will have provided alternative means, such as a soot door. After
sweeping the chimney the stove flue outlet and the flue pipe connecting the
stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue brush.
Periods of Prolonged Non-Use
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it
should be given a thorough clean to remove ash and unburned fuel resi-
dues. To enable a good flow of air through the appliance to reduce conden-
sation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open.

Extractor fan

There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as
this can cause the stove to emit smoke and fumes into the room.
