6.6.2 Smoke from Appliance
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:
1. Open all windows and doors to
ventilate the room.
2. Vacate the premises
immediately
3. Let the fire go out.
4. Check for flue or chimney
blockage and clean if required.
5. Do not attempt to relight the
fire until the cause of the fume
emission has been identified
and corrected. If necessary seek
expert advice.
6. Do not light the fire until the
problem is rectified.
The most common cause of fume
emission is flue way or chimney
blockage. For your own safety these
must be kept clean at all times.
