User Instructions

Please note that during the first firing, we recommend a small fire is lit and
that you slowly increase the temperature to enable the various parts to
expand normally.
You may also experience fumes and a haze being given off by the stove
during the first firing and possibly for the next couple of firings as the paint
cures. This is normal but please ensure that the room is well ventilated
during this period.
The appliance should not be operated in mild weather with smokeless fuel.
Under certain weather circumstances e.g. fog the chimney will not draw
sufficiently and could cause asphyxiation. Either await better weather or
burn wood only.
In the rare event of a malfunction due to overheating or a chimney fire, the
air slides should be shut down completely and the fuel allowed to burn out.
In the event of a chimney fire, once the air slides have been closed
completely, dial 999 for assistance. If the appliance has overheated, the
appliance will need to be inspected for any damage before it can be
operated again.
