Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur.
However, if a chimney fire does occur turn off the stove immediately and isolate
the mains electricity supply (if applicable), and tightly close the doors of the stove.
This should cause the chimney fire to go out. If the chimney fire does not go out
when the above action is taken then the fire brigade should be called immediately.
Do not relight the stove until the chimney and flueways have been cleaned and
examined by a professional.
Permanent air vent
The stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate
safely and efficiently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fitted a
permanent air supply vent into the room in which the stove is installed to provide
combustion air. This air vent should not under any circumstances be shut off or
sealed.
