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.
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 prolonged
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.
