Ønskes der flere oplysninger om installering og fyring med pejse eller brændeovne, kan vi henvise til pjecerne
”Bygningsreglement” i det pågældende land som WF 32 er godkendt i og ”Korrekt fyring”, der begge udgives af
Byggestyrelsen og som kan rekvireres hos Deres brændeovnsforhandler eller skorstensfejer.
Norge: Henvisning til norsk regelverk angående installasjon av ildsted.
”Nye regler for installasjon av ildsteder pr. 2000-01-01”
”Installasjon av nye ildsteder skal meldes til de lokale bygningsmyndigheter. Huseier står selv ansvarlig for at
alle krav til sikkerhet er ivaretatt på en forskriftsmessig måte og er forpliktet til å få installasjonen inspisert og
sikkerheten bekreftet av en kvalifisert kontrollør. Lokalt feiervesen må informeres dersom installasjonen medfører
endret feiebehov.”
OPSTILLINGSVEJLEDNING/INSTALLERING
Ved installering af Deres brændeovn er der en række love og bestemmelser i Bygningsreglementet, der skal
overholdes. Disse bestemmelser kan man læse i Bygningsreglementet. Bygningsreglementet siger, at ved
lukkede ildsteder skal brændbare gulve dækkes mindst 30 cm foran fyringsåbningen og mindst 15 cm til hver
side. Underlaget skal være af ikke brændbar materiale f.eks. stålplade, glasplader, klinker eller kunstskiferplade.
Norge: Under platen av ubrennbart materiale skal brennbart gulvbelegg fjernes
Montering af indsats: Min. højde fra brandbar gulve er min. 450 mm til underkant ovn.
Indsats må kun monteres i en væg som er opbygget af ubrandbart matriale.
Min. hul størrelse til montering af indsats er højde 55 cm brede 81 cm og dybde 38 cm.
Gulvene som brændeovnene skal installeres på, skal have en tilstrækkelig bæreevne.
Afstande til brændbart materiale som angivet på EN 13240 skiltet bag på brændeovnen.
Til ikke brændbar væg er der ingen regler om afstand, men vi anbefaler 10 cm bag ovnen pga. rengøring.
Norge: En ikke brennbar vegg er en mur- eller betongvegg uten, brennbare matterialer på modsatt side. Ved bruk
av forskriftsmessig oppsett brannmur som beskyttelse av brennbar vegg skal ovnenes oppstillingsavstand være
minst 10 cm bak og 10 cm til side.
Forbrændingen kræver luft og der skal derfor være frisk lufttilførelse til rummet, hvor ovnen er opstillet, disse
skal være placeret således at de ikke kan blokeres. Det kan være i form af en ventil ( ventilen skal være åben og
have tilstrækkelig kapacitet når ovne er tændt ) eller et friskluftsystem koblet til ovnen.
Alle brændeovne fra Westfire er forsynet med en røgvenderplade, der sørger for, at røgvandringen bliver lang nok.
SKORSTENSTILSLUTNING
Der skal altid anvendes en skorsten med en diameter på min. 15 cm, svarende til en lysning på 175 cm2.
Skorstenen skal have en sådan højde, at trækforholdene er i orden, at røgen ikke generer omgivelserne og
skorstenen skal være forsynet med en let tilgængelig renselem.

DK
WF 32: er godkendt efter europæiske standard (EN 13240). Den nominelle varmeydelse er 6 kW.
WF 32: har en afprøvningsvægt på 135 kg.
Minimumsrøgtrækket: Ovnen er afprøvet med et røgtræk på 12 Pa. Max røgtræk 25 Pa.
Røggasmasseflowet er 4,6 g/sek.
Røggastemperaturen er målt til 243°.
WF 32 har top- og bagudgang.
Skorstenen kan forsynes med et reguleringsspjæld i ovnens røgrør, så skorstenstrækket kan reguleres på dage
med kraftig blæst. Spjældet må ikke kunne lukkes helt til, men skal have et friareal på mindst 20 cm2 af rørets
totale lysningsareal.
Der kan også anvendes andre former for trækbegrænsere fx ved at slippe luft ind i skorsten uden om ovnen.
WF 32 kan tilsluttes skorsten hvor der også er tilsluttet andre anordninger.
Gasfyrede anordninger skal altid have deres egen skorsten hvor der ikke må være tilsluttet andre anordninger.
Norge: Henvisning til skorsteinsleverandørens spesifikasjoner og anvisning for korrekt røkinnføring i
elementskorsteiner.
For teglskorsteiner skal ovnens røkrør føres inn i en røkstuss som er murs fast i skorsteinen.
BETJENINGSVEJLEDNING
Første gang De fyrer i brændeovnen, vil den varmebestandige maling hærde, hvilket bevirker, at der opstår en
del lugt og røg. Sørg derfor for en god udluftning.
De bør ligeledes holde lågen lidt åben under de første par påfyringer og først lukke, når ovnen er kold, så undgår
De at paksnoren klæber sig fast til ovnen og går løs.
Når den varmebestandige maling er hærdet, skal lågen holdes lukket, undtagen under optænding,
brændselspåfyldning og fjernelse af restmaterialer, for at forhindre udslip af røggas.
Inden optænding åbnes luftsystemet ved at trække luftstangen helt ud og åbne for opstartsanordring i venstre side.
Man tænder bedst op i ovnen med optændingsblokke. Brug aldrig sprit, benzin eller andre brandfarlige væsker til
optænding! Læg nogle mindre stykker træ på tværs i ovnen ovenpå optændingsbriketterne.
Når der er godt ild i brændet ilægges der 2 stykker træ på ca. 33 cm med en samlet vægt på ca. 1,6 kg. Efter
ca. 5 min lukkes opstartsanordring og luftstangen i midten lukkes ca. 70%. Brændselspåfyldningsintervaller ved
nominel varmeydelse er ca. 1 gang pr. time.
Ønskes langsomforbrænding / mindre varmeydelse ilægges mindre mængde træ og luftstangen i midten lukkes
mere end de 70 % samt brændselspåfyldningsintervallet gøres længere.
WF 32 ovne er beregnet til intermitterende forbrænding. (der skal ilægges træ ofte og ovnen er ikke fremstillet til
døgnkontinuerlig opvarming.)
Westfire 32 ovne er forsynet med en reguleringsventil til sekundærluft der skal sikre ilt til forbrændingen.
Ved fyring i brændeovnen vil alle overflader blive varme og der skal udvises fornøden forsigtighed. Ved betjening
af spjæld og håndtag, skal der bruges hanske.
I tilfælde af skorstensbrand: Luk for luftspjældet og lågen, derefter ring 112 eller det lokale Brandvæsen.
GRUNDINDSTILLING AF SPJÆLDENE UNDER DRIFT:
Det er nødvendigt at gøre sine egne erfaringer med hensyn til indstilling af sekundærluft, da f.eks
skorstenskvalitet, skorstenshøjde, brændselskvalitet og de ydreforhold spiller en stor rolle, men man kan se om
forbrændingen sker på den rigtige måde. Hvis Deres ovn indvendig får en belægning af hård blank sod, er der
tegn på en ufuldstændig forbrænding, i så fald skal der tilføres mere sekundærluft.

WESTFIRE · WF32 WESTFIRE · WF32

DK
Det er vigtig at man inden fyring kontroller trækforholdene, det kan fx gøres ved at krølle et stykke avispapir
sammen, ligge det i brændkammeret og antænde det, hvis røgen trækker fint ud gennem skorsten er
trækforholdende i orden.
BRÆNDSEL
Brug aldrig giftigt træ såsom spånplader, malet eller imprægneret træ. Brug altid tørt træ. Træets tørhedsgrad
spiller en særdeles stor rolle, idet det foruden dårlig fyringsøkonomi også giver anledning til løbesod.
Nyfældet træ indeholder 60-70% vand, hvilket gør det fuldstændig uegnet til fyring.
Man skal regne med at nyfældet træ skal stå stakket til vindtørring, under et halvtag i 2 år, før det er egnet til
fyring.
VEDLIGEHOLDELSE
Asken bør tages ud med jævne mellemrum.
Rengøring af ovnen bør kun foretages når ovnen er kold. Ovnen rengøres udvendig med en tør klud. En gang
årligt bør ovnens indre rengøres. Dette gøres ved at rengøre brandkammeret for aske og evt. sod og tjærerester.
Røgvenderpladen bør tages ud, da snavs og sod vil lægge sig bag på pladen. Pakninger i låge vil efter længere
tids brug blive slidt og bør tjekkes.
Regelmæssig bør ovnen, røggasforbindelsestykket og skorsten efterses af kvalificeret montør, efter længere
stilstandsperiode, skal skorstenen kontrolleres for blokeringer inden genoptænding.
På udsatte steder kan lakken nedslides p.g.a. overophedning, dette kan ligesom andre lakskader repareres med
en speciel senothermlak på spraydåse, som kan købes i alle pejseforretninger.
Norge: Aske skal kun oppbevares i ubrennbar beholder og skal ikke blandes med annet brennbart avfall.
Der er monteret skamolplader i brandkammeret. Disse plader vil med tiden blive nedslidte og skal udskiftes. Det
samme gælder røgvenderpladen.
Hvis De kommer til at kaste et brændestykke for hårdt ind i ovnen, kan dette indebære, at en skamolplade
revner. Dette har ingen betydning for forbrændingen ( gælder ikke røgvender pladen ). Først når skamolpladerne
er så nedslidte, at disse ikke mere er hele, skal pladerne udskiftes dette gælder også hvis skamolpladerne har
flere revner.
Ved overophedning af brændeovnen skal luftspjældet og lågen være lukket.
DRIFTFORSTYRRELSER
Hvis glasset soder til, skyldes det højst sandsynligt vådt træ eller at bålet får for lidt sekundærluft.
Brænder træet for hurtigt, kan det skyldes at skorstenstrækket er for kraftigt eller utæthed ved lågen.
Varmer ovnen for lidt kan det skyldes fyring med vådt træ.
Røg eller lugtgener kan skyldes dårligt skorstenstræk. Kontrollér om røgrør/skorsten er tilstoppet og skorstenens
højde i forhold til omgivelserne.
Tilsodning af skorsten kan skyldes brug af vådt træ eller at forbrændingen får for lidt sekundærluft.
GARANTI
Der ydes 5 års garanti på fabrikationsfejl på Deres nye ovn. Deres købsfaktura gælder som dokumentation
for købsdato. Garantien gælder ikke skader, som følge af forkert betjening, f.eks. overophedning, forkert
tilslutning, eller skader der er opstået p.g.a. ydre påvirkning af fysisk karakter.
Garantien omfatter ikke skader på udskiftelige dele, transportomkostninger i forbindelse med garantireparationer
eller montering/demontering ved garantireparationer.
Der advares mod enhver uautoriseret ændring af anordningen.
Ved reparation brug alene reservedele anbefalet af Westfire ApS.

PREPARATORY WORK AND SAFETY CHECKS – IMPORTANT WARNING
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance.
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit fumes
into the room.
Chimney – Chimney Connection – Flue Diameter 150mm (160cm2)
In order for the stove to perform satisfactorily the chimney height must be sufficient to ensure an adequate
draught so as to clear the products of combustion and prevent smoke problems into the room.

NOTE: A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to the
top of the chimney should be satisfactory. Alternatively the calculation procedure given in BS 5854:1980
may be used as the basis for deciding whether a particular chimney design will provide sufficient draught.
Installing the appliance
Each Installation is different for every property and it is not possible to give detailing for every installation. The
Installation must comply with Building regulations and follow best practice construction methods.
Typical fireplace constructions have a supporting lintel. Do not remove lintel without support of the main building
structure of the building. Do not use the appliance to support the structure.
The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with the provisions of Build-
ing Regulations Approved Document J.
If installation is into an existing chimney then it must be sound and have no cracks or other faults which might
allow fumes into the house. Older properties, especially, may have chimney faults or the cross section may be too
large i.e. more than 160 mm x 160 mm. Remedial action should be taken, if required, seeking expert advice. If
it is found necessary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable for solid fuel must be used in accordance with
Building Regulations Approved Document J.
Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction and have been swept clean immediately before installation of
the stove. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month after instal-

lation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the stove and
the open fire.
NOTE – When installing the Uniq32/WF32 inset in to a fire place opening with a traditional flue we
recommend installation of the appliance with flue liner for optimum performance.
If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney in accordance with Building Regulations
Approved Document J or a twin walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS 4543 can be used. These chimneys must
be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and Building Regulations.
A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for using for
the complete chimney. The chimney and connecting fluepipe must have a minimum diameter of 150 mm and its
dimension should be not less than the size of the outlet socket of the stove. Any bend in the chimney or connec-
ting fluepipe should not exceed 45°. 90° bends should not be used.
If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then either an adjustable flue damper or alternatively
a draught stabiliser should be fitted. The adjustable flue damper should not close off the flue entirely but should
in its closed position leave a minimum continuous opening free area of at least 20 % of the total cross sectional
area of the flue or fluepipe.
Adequate provision e.g. easily accessible soot door or doors must be provided for sweeping the chimney and
connecting flue pipe.

Hearth
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove and its chimney if the chimney is not inde-
pendently supported.
The WESTFIRE WF32/UNIQ32 INSET wood inset stove has been tested and is suitable to be installed above a 12mm
non combustible plate such as Westfire 12mm glass plates or 20mm slate plates. Installation of the stove must be at
a minimum height of 450mm for 12mm hearth. Installation of all hearths should comply in size and construction so
that it is in accordance with the provisions of the current Building Regulations Approved Document J.
The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the hearth and walls adjacent to
the hearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building Regula-
tions Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.
If the stove is to be installed in front of a wooden floor, it must be covered with a non-combustible material at
least 12mm thick, in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J, to a distance of 30 cm in front
of the stove and 15 cm to each side measuring from the door of the combustion chamber.
Combustion air supply
In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there should be an adequate air supply into the room in
which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This is particularly necessary if the room is double-glazed
or a flue draught stabiliser is operating in the same room as the appliance. The provision of air supply to the
stove must be in accordance with current Building Regulations Approved Document J. An opening window is not
appropriate for this purpose. Air inlets must be positioned in such a way that they cannot be blocked. An air inlet
may be a vent (the vent must be open and the capacity of the vent sufficient when the stove is lit) or a fresh air
system linked to the stove.
The WESTFIRE WF32/UNIQ 32 INSET has an option of a closed air supply collar; this enables the stove to take all
combustion air (primary, secondary and tertiary) directly from outside with a 100mm pipe from the stove.

Westfire Insulated chambers
The WESTFIRE WF32/UNIQ32 stove is lined with heat deflection panels and baffles, these panels are designed
to ensure the maximum efficiency and are an integral part of the clean burn process of the stove. These baffles
should not be removed other than for cleaning the stove. Any defective panels should be replaced.
Commissioning and handover
Ensure all parts (fire brick sets, grates) are fitted in accordance with the instructions given in the instruction
booklet.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out, a
small fire may be lit to check that smoke and fumes are taken from the stove up the chimney and emitted safely
into the atmosphere. Do not run at full output for at least 24 hours.
On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions for the stove are left
with the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance with the fuels likely to be
used on the stove and notify them to use only the recommended fuels for the stove.
Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer should be warned to
use a fireguard to BS 6539 in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.

OPERATING YOUR STOVE – WESTFIRE WF32/UNIQ 32
The first lighting of your stove
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LIGHTING YOUR APPLIANCE.
The heat-resistant paint on your stove will cure and harden the first time you light your appliance. The curing
process produces a good deal of smoke and odour, it is therefore important that the first time you light your
stove the room should be well ventilated. During the process it is important to open and close the stove door
periodically (every 30mins) during the first couple of firings therefore preventing the door seal cord around the
door from sticking and coming away from the door. Once the heat-resistant paint has hardened the smell will
disappear.
This stove is NOT designed to be used with the door open, the stove door must be kept closed except when
lighting the stove, adding firewood or removing ash in order to prevent flue gases from escaping.
NOTE! Always use dry wood for your stove, your stove will burn better and more efficiently with better
quality dry wood. Wet wood will cause your stove to burn inefficiently.
Lighting your appliance
Westfire stoves are tested to burn wood. Do not overload stove as this can cause excessive heat and damage the
stove. ALWAYS KEEP FUEL LOAD BELOW TERTIARY PORTS AT REAR OF STOVE.
Do not burn liquid fuels, drift wood, finished wood, sawn wood, pallet wood, chipboard/plywood ,varnished
wood or plastic coated wood, wood treated with preservatives, or house hold waste. DO NOT EXCEED SPECIFIED
FUEL WEIGHTS.
DO NOT BURN HOUSEHOLD WASTE, THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT AN INCINERATOR.
WESTFIRE RECOMMEND THE USE OF A FLUE THERMOSTAT TO CHECK YOUR STOVE IS NOT OVERHEATING. PLACE FLUE
THERMOSTAT DIRECTLY ABOVE COLLAR OF STOVE AND REFER TO TEMPERATURE TABLE EARLIER IN INSTRUCTIONS.
Quality Firelighters should be used when lighting the stove. (Never use mentholated spirit, petrol or other flam-
mable liquids). Lighting your stove firelighters will be more reliable and easier than using paper.
To light your stove
1. Place a few smaller pieces of dry wood (kindling) in the stove on top of the non toxic firelighters, place one or
two small dry split (¼ split) logs on top.
2. Fully slide open the secondary air control. Pull out fully primary air control. The stoves air supplies are now fully
open.
3. Light the firelighters and push door to closed position but do not close latch, this will allow a small gap of 1cm
for more air to be supplied to stove.
4. After approximately 10 minutes when the fire is burning brightly shut latch on the door.
5. Once fire is hot push in fully the primary air control. This will close off the primary air control to the stove. If the
stove begins to die when the primary is closed, open control again and leave open for another ten minutes.
6. After approximately another 10 minutes close the secondary air control to the specified position for the stove
(See table). For the stove to burn cleanly plenty of secondary air is needed, please do not be tempted to shut
the fire down too early as this may cause smoke. At nominal heat output, expect to refuel your stove approxi-
mately once an hour.
The WESTFIRE WF32/UNIQ32 INSET stoves are all equipped with a control level for secondary air designed to en-
sure a plentiful supply of oxygen during firing. When lit, the stove will get very hot and due care must therefore
be exercised. Please use glove supplied when using air controls, handle or ashpan.

RE-FUELING
To re-fuel your stove in the cleanest way.
Only refuel your stove when flames have died down and you have glowing embers.
Before refuelling, open secondary air control fully, also open primary air control fully and leave for 5 minutes.
Open door gently, add two pieces of wood measuring approx 33cm with a combined weight of approx 1.5kg and
close the door. Leave the air controls open for 10 minutes to allow the fire to reach a good temperature. Close
(push in) primary air control and slide secondary air control to position for the stove.
In the event of a chimney fire: Close the air controls and the stove door, and call 999 or your local fire depart-
ment.
If your stove is overheating close all air controls, ensure door is firmly closed, leave stove until it has returned to
nominal temperature.

You will need to become familiar with your stove in order to be able to regulate the secondary air intake correctly,
as factors such as the quality and height of your chimney, the quality of your fuel and the external conditions
play a large role in your stove performance. It is easy to see whether the stove is functioning correctly; however
incomplete combustion may lead to a build-up of hard, shiny soot on the inside of your stove and glass.
To prevent sooting of the chamber and glass introduce secondary air, also check that your wood is dry.
It is important to check the draft conditions before lighting your stove. This may be done, for instance, by
crumpling a piece of newspaper, placing it in the combustion chamber and lighting it. The draft conditions are
good if the smoke is drawn away through the chimney.

WOOD FUEL
IMPORTANT: Never use toxic wood such as chipboard, impregnated, painted wood or pre-sawn wood such as
pallets. Good quality wood is the most important factor in your stove working efficiently and cleanly. Always use
dry firewood. The dryness of the firewood plays an important role since the use of wet wood results in poor fuel
economy and may cause a tarry sooty film on the internals of the stove.
Newly cut wood contains 60-70% water, making it totally unsuitable for use as firewood.
Newly cut wood should be stacked and air dried under cover for two years before being used as firewood.
SOLID SMOKELESS FUELS – The WESTFIRE WF32/UNIQ32 stoves are not suitable for use with smokeless fuels. The
stove will burn best when burning wood. HOUSE COAL AND PETROLEUM COKE ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON THIS
STOVE; ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE.
Overnight burning
Westfire Uniq32/WF32, are designed to burn wood. Wood burns more efficiently and cleanly if is burnt hotter.
Westfire do not recommend that their stoves are burnt overnight for this reason.
As a night time regime we recommend that the fire is loaded when hot and burnt for five minutes with the
secondary air control fully open until the new wood has taken and is burning, then close the secondary air valve
to its operational position.
On returning to the stove in the morning the fire will have burnt out. Reload with some paper or firelighter and
some kindling and open all the controls fully to relight quickly. Beware as the ash bed will have hot embers.
Use of operating tools
The Uniq 32/WF32 is supplied with a heat resistant glove, when handling parts likely to be hot when the stove
is in in operation use the glove provided.
Maintenance
WESTFIRE WF32/UNIQ 32 inset wood stoves need to have the ash removed from the stove at regular intervals.
Make sure the stove is completely cold before cleaning out ash (embers can remain hot for over 24 hours).
To clean the outside of the stove use a dry cloth.
Annual service
The inside of the stove should be serviced /cleaned once a year. To clean the inside, remove all ash, soot and tar
residue from the combustion chamber. Remove insulated chamber panels and baffle, to clean out any dirt and
soot will collected behind them. Check the quality of all insulated panels and replace any which are damaged or
cracked, replace stove door rope cord in the door. Check glass is correctly positioned.
The stove, the flue pipe connection and the chimney should be checked regularly by a qualified engineer. The
chimney should also be checked for blockages before relighting the stove if it has not been used for an extended
period of time.
The paint/ lacquer can wear thin in exposed places due to overheating. This, and other lacquer damage, may be
repaired using a Westfire Senotherm paint/lacquer spray available from your Westfire dealer.
Ash must be stored in a non-combustible container and must not be mixed with other combustible waste.
Cleaning the glass
Incorrect firing, for example using wet wood, or slow burning can result in the viewing window becoming covered
in soot. This soot can be easily and effectively removed by using a damp cloth or when necessary a proprietary
stove glass cleaner or an ordinary scouring liquid, when the glass is cold
Periods of Prolonged Non-Use
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period 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 appliance to reduce condensation and
subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. Fire will not burn – check
a) the air inlet is not obstructed in any way,
b) that chimneys and flueways are clear,
c) that a suitable fuel is being used,
d) that there is an adequate air supply into the room,
e) that an extractor fan is not fitted in the same room as the fire.
2. Fire blazing out of control – check
a) the doors are tightly closed,
b) the air controls are turned down to the minimum setting,
c) the air controls are closed and not prevented from closing completely by a piece of ash,
d) a suitable fuel is being used, use only hard wood. NO WASTE WOOD.
e) the door seals are in good condition.
f) if the chimney draft may be too strong
g) if ash pan seal is in good condition
h) for ash below ash pan causing pan to not seat correctly and clean out.
3) Soot forms on the window
a) The firewood may be too wet
b) the intake of secondary air may be insufficient
c) fire not hot enough
4) The stove fails to heat fully
a) The firewood may be too wet
b) the intake of secondary air may be insufficient
5) Smoke or odour
a) Weak chimney draft
b) check for blockages in the flue pipe/chimney
c) check the height of the chimney in relation to the surroundings
6) Soot in the chimney
a) The firewood may be too wet
b) intake of secondary air may be insufficient
Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur. However, if a chimney fire does
occur turn the air control setting to the minimum, and tightly close the doors of the stove. This should cause the
chimney fire to go out in which case the control should be kept at the minimum setting until the fire in the stove
has gone out. The chimney and flue ways should then be cleaned. If the chimney fire does not go out when the
above action is taken then the fire brigade should be called immediately.
After a chimney fire the chimney should be carefully examined for any damage. Expert advice should be sought
if necessary
Permanent air vent
The stove requires a permanent air vent to the room or a direct connection to the closed air port at the rear of the
stove. This is to provide adequate air supply in order for the stove to operate safely and efficiently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fitted a permanent air supply vent into the
room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This air vent should not under any circumstances
be shut off or sealed.
Aerosols
Aerosols are flammable and therefore dangerous to use around a lit stove. Do not use aerosols sprays near your lit
stove. The use of any aerosol is dangerous and care must be taken in handling aerosols.

CO Alarm
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm sounds unexpectedly,
follow the instructions given under “Warning Note” below.
WARNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes
from de ashing and re fuelling 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 doors and windows to ventilate room
(b) Let the fire go out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance
(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 flueway or chimney blockage. For your own safety these must be
kept clean at all times.
IMPORTANT NOTES
General
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work and commissioning checks described
in the installation instructions have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept clean, is
sound and free from any obstructions. As part of the stoves’ commissioning and handover the installer should
have shown you how to operate the stove correctly.
Use of fireguard
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are present a fireguard must be
used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with
BS 6539.
Chimney cleaning
The chimney should be swept at least once a year for smokeless fuels and a minimum of twice a year for wood
and other fuels. It is important that the flue connection and chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a pro-
longed shutdown period.
If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month after installation to
clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the stove and the
open fire.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the installer will have provided alternative
means, such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney the stove flue outlet and the flue pipe connecting the
stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue brush.
