A non-combustible register plate
minimum 1.5 mm thick should be fitted
to all installations between the flue and
the building structure. It’s suitability and
fit should be checked by a qualified
stove installation engineer against the
current Building Regulations.
Fig 9
CLEANING THE FLUE
Access for cleaning the flue should be incorporated in the system other than
through the appliance (e.g. a soot door or access through a register plate).
Purpose-made soot doors and inspection lengths are available from the
Clarke range.
Ensure that the whole length of the flue can be reached from the soot door.
FUME EMISSIONS
To avoid chimney problems, your fire should not be burnt slowly for longer
than 12 hours without a period of fast burning.
Properly installed and operated, this stove will not emit fumes. Occasional
fumes from de-ashing and refuelling may occur. Persistent fume emission must
not be tolerated. If fume emission persists, the following immediate action
should be taken:-
1. Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
2. Let the fire out, or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the stove.
3. Check for flue chimney blockage and clean if required.
4. Do not attempt to re-light the fire until the cause has been identified and
corrected.
If necessary, seek professional advice.
Important! Never fit an extractor fan in the same room as this stove.
