Safety - Masport LE 3000 2 Series Owner's Manual & Installation Manual

• If smoke wafts into the room while the door is open, first check that make-up air can flow freely
into the room to replace the air passing up the flue. (See box below). Then check that the flue is not
obstructed in any way, particularly by the rain cap being too close to the end of the flue. If these
checks do not uncover the fault, add an extra length of flue (bracing it, if necessary) to counteract the
down draught effects caused by roof shape, nearby buildings, hills or trees.
• Switch off the circulating fan (if fitted) when the fire is burning at low heat outputs. Use only the
slow fan speed at medium heat output, moving to the higher speed(s) only when full heat output has
been reached.
• Adjust the door to eliminate any minor leakage. (See MAINTENANCE - page 17). Serious leakage
will require a new door seal.
REMEMBER, FOR THE FIRE TO DRAW PROPERLY, AIR MUST BE ABLE
TO ENTER THE ROOM WHERE YOUR WOODFIRE IS INSTALLED. YOU
MAY HAVE TO LEAVE A DOOR SLIGHTLY OPEN AND PERHAPS A
WINDOW ELSEWHERE IN THE HOUSE IF YOUR HOME IS OF MODERN
AIRTIGHT CONSTRUCTION. LEAVING THE ROOM DOOR OPEN WILL
HELP SPREAD WARMTH THROUGH THE REST OF YOUR HOME.

SAFETY

• Always keep children well away from the woodfire when it is alight.
• Do not put furniture, clothing, firewood or other combustibles near the woodfire. The minimum safe
distance is 420mm from the sides and 1 metre from the front.
• Do not leave the fire unattended with the door open.
• Accidental fires can be caused by wrapping seemingly cold ashes in paper. It is much safer to place
ashes outside in a metal container with a close fitting lid.
• If a fire is burning up inside the flue, slide the heat output control to the low heat position and call
the Fire Service. DO NOT OPEN THE WOODFIRE DOOR.
• If you have had a flue fire, inspect your flue for damage before lighting another fire.
• Do not modify your woodfire in any way without obtaining written permission from the
Manufacturers.
