RECOMMENDED FUELS
Fuel should be stored under cover and ventilated, and
kept dry. Wet kitchen refuse should not be burned.
The appliance has been tested using wood logs only.
It is not suitable to burn solid mineral fuels.
CHIMNEY FIRES
Prevention: Chimney fires do not occur in clean, intact,
properly installed chimneys. Have a professional
chimney sweep clean and inspect your appliance at least
once a year. More frequent cleaning may be required,
based on the type of fuel burned and the frequency of
use. In general, an older appliance or one that is used
frequently, will require more than one clean per year.
Detection: The first indication of a chimney fire is usually
the noise - a roaring sound grows louder as the fire's
intensity increases. Clouds of black smoke and sparks
will be seen exiting the top of the chimney; in severe
fires, flames can extend several feet about the chimney.
Action: In case of a chimney fire follow these steps but
do not put yourself or others in peril:
1. Call the fire brigade immediately.
2. Get everyone out of the property.
3. Close down the air supply to the appliance i.e. the
primary air spinner and the flue damper. Limiting the
fires air supply will reduce its intensity. If there is a
damper in the chimney connector, plug or close the
opening.
4. If a fire extinguisher is available, open the appliance
door just enough to insert the nozzle of a 10lb, dry
chemical fire extinguisher rated for Class ABC fires.
Discharge the entire content of the fire extinguisher
into the appliance and shut the door.
5. If possible, wet down the roof and other outside
combustibles to prevent fires ignited by shooting
sparks and flames.
6. Closely monitor all combustible surfaces near the
chimney. During severe chimney fires, these surfaces
can become hot enough to ignite.
After a chimney fire, have the chimney inspected by a
professional chimney sweep or cooker installer.
