Introduction - FireBird Instruction Manual

1.0 INTRODUCTION

We would like to thank you for purchasing a high efficiency, Firebird Smoke Exempt
Stove (hereinafter referred to as "the inset stove"). The design for this product stems
from our original concept, "the Firebird backboiler". The stove is manufactured in its
entirety in our factory in Baile Mhic Íre, Macroom, Co. Cork, using the highest
standard of workmanship and latest technology.
This instruction manual has been produced for the reference and guidance of qualified
installation technicians.
You should ensure that all installation, servicing and commissioning works are carried
out by a competent person. It should be noted that it is the responsibility of the
installer/householder to ensure that the inset stove is properly commissioned. Failure
to do so may invalidate the warranty.
2.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
 The term multifuel refers to commercially available solid fuels such as wood,
smokeless coal and anthracite. The appliance shall not be used as an incinerator;
only recommended fuels shall be used. Liquid fuels should never be used when
lighting or filling the fire.
 Do not store liquid fuels in the close proximity to the inset stove.
 The inset stove is designed in such a way, that under normal burning conditions,
the fumes pass up through the chimney flue and do not escape into the home.
Please ensure that the flue system is checked regularly, that no cracks or openings
are evident and that the seals on the inset stove are in good condition.
 ENSURE THE BAFFLES ARE ALWAYS IN PLACE WHEN LIGHTING THE
INSET STOVE AND NEVER LIGHT A FIRE IF THE BAFFLES ARE NOT IN
PLACE.
 THE INSET STOVE DOOR SHOULD NOT BE KEPT OPEN WHEN THE
FIRE IS LIT/ BURNING.
 The inset stove should never be over stocked/over filled. The draught settings
should be reduced if this occurs.

safety guards (in accordance with BS8423:2002) are in place.

very hot during operation and should not be touched by bare hands.
