Persistent fume emission is dangerous and must be investigated. If fume
emission persists open doors and windows to ventilate the room and let
the fire die out. Have the chimney inspected for blockages and clean if
required. Do not relight the fire until the cause has been found. We
recommend that you seek professional advice.
This appliance has been designed to be burned with the door closed at

Daily Maintenance
The ashpan should be checked and emptied regularly. You should never
allow the ashes in the pan to build up to the level of the grate. If they are
allowed to build up, the grate will become sandwiched between the ash
below it and above it. This will overheat the grate and cause distortion
and premature wear.
