Special N tes f r use in a Sm ke C ntr l Area:
Refuelling n t a l w fire bed:
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission
can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new
fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable eriod. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable
kindling to revent excessive smoke
Fuel verl ading:
The maximum amount of fuel s ecified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can cause
excess smoke.
Operati n with d r left pen:
O eration with the door o en can cause excess smoke. The a liance must not be o erated with the
a liance door left o en exce t as directed in the instructions.
Dampers left pen:
O eration with the air controls or dam ers o en can cause excess smoke. The a liance must not be
o erated with air controls or dam ers left o en exce t as directed in the instructions.
Peri ds f Pr l nged N n-Use
If the stove is to be left unused for a rolonged eriod of time then it should be given a thorough clean to
remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air through the a liance to reduce
condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully o en.
Extract r fan
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit
smoke and fumes into the room.
Aer s l sprays
Do not use an aerosol s ray on or near the stove when it is alight.
Use f perating t ls
Always use the o erating tools rovided when handling arts likely to be hot when the stove is in use.
Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swe t, chimney fires should not occur. However, if a chimney fire
does occur turn off the stove immediately and isolate the mains electricity su ly (if a licable), and tightly
close the doors of the stove. This should cause the chimney fire to go out. If the chimney fire does not go
out when the above action is taken then the fire brigade should be called immediately. Do not relight the
stove until the chimney and flueways have been cleaned and examined by a rofessional.
Permanent air vent
The stove requires a ermanent and adequate air su ly in order for it to o erate safely and efficiently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fitted a ermanent air su ly vent
into the room in which the stove is installed to rovide combustion air. This air vent should not under any
circumstances be shut off or sealed.
