Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the
alarm sounds unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under "Warning Note" above.
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 (Replaces BS 6539).
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 prolonged shutdown period.
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 ensure 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 residues. To enable a good flow of air
through the appliance to reduce condensation 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.
Aerosol sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
Use of operating tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when the
stove is in use.
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.
