SAFETY WARNINGS FOR YOUR GUIDANCE
THIS STOVE WILL BE HOT
when in operation and due care should
be taken. Thick gloves should be used to operate the primary/
secondary controls or reaching inside the stove to position fuel or
remove ash.
FIRES CAN BE DANGEROUS -
Always use a fireguard in the pres-
ence of children, the elderly or the infirm. The fireguard should be
manufactured in accordance with B.S. 6539 - Fireguards for use

DO NOT OVERFIRE -
it is possible to fire the stove beyond its design

overfiring - if any part of the stove starts to glow red, the stove is
in an overfire situation and the controls should be adjusted
accordingly. Never leave the stove unattended for long periods
without first adjusting the controls to a safe setting. Careful air
supply control should be exercised at all times.
