5. The burning of wood gives o gases which can be extremely dangerous. Wood heaters are designed so that under
normal operating circumstances these gases pass up the ue chimney system and cannot escape into your home,
however it is important that your ue system is properly installed and that you check all joints regularly to ensure
that there are no cracks or gaps, check the door sealing rope and replace when damaged/worn. We recommend a
smoke alarm be tted in rooms where wood heaters are installed. Do not use your wood heater in a room where
negative pressure conditions exist. Negative pressure environments can cause products of combustion to be drawn
from the replace into the room. Caution should be taken when using any form of extraction in a room where a
wood heater is installed.
6. This appliance is designed to specically burn dry hardwood. Do not burn rubbish, driwood, ammable liquids
or any substance containing salts or corrosives.
7. Creosote and soot may accumulate in your ue pipe and chimney. This may ignite, causing a chimney re. If you
suspect a chimney re close down the air controls on the wood heater, if the re persists evacuate people from
the building and call the Fire Brigade. To prevent the accumulation of soot or creosote, check ue and chimney
regularly and clean as necessary. Good burning, hot wood heaters will generally cause a lot less build-up than
slow burning wood heaters, likewise dry wood will cause less build-up than wet wood. We recommend a re
extinguisher be available where wood heaters are in operation. In the event of a chimney re do not re-light the
wood heater until the heater and the ue chimney system have been thoroughly checked and repaired/replaced as
necessary.
8. Wood heaters get extremely hot and should not be touched when lit. When young children are in the area, we
recommend the use of a suitable re guard around the wood heater. Always wear protective gloves when reloading
wood heater.
9. Never over-re your wood heater. If external parts of your wood heater are glowing red then the wood heater is
over-ring and your draught settings should be reduced. Never interfere with the draught mechanisms or adjust
your air settings outside those limits set when the wood heater is manufactured. Never use a secondary fan to
supply or extract air to the wood heater.
10. All users of the wood heater should be aware of the contents of this manual. Please leave this manual where it is
accessible to wood heater users and do not allow anyone to use the wood heater that is unfamiliar with its correct
operation.
