WARNING NOTE:

Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes from the de-ashing and refuelling 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:
(a) Open glass door (3)s and windows to ventilate room.
(b) Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the stove.
(c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required.
(d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified
and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice. The most common cause of fume emission is
flue way or chimney blockage. For you own safety these must be kept clean at all times.

FIRE SAFETY

To provide reasonable fire safety EIRECO highly recommends:
 The installation of smoke detectors.

from burning embers.
 A practical evacuation plan.
 A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows:
 Notify the fire department.

from overhead stove pipe or from embers or sparks from the chimney
