Safety notes for your guidance
FIRES CAN BE DANGEROUS
– Always use a fireguard in the presence of children, the elderly
or the infirm. The fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 8423 – Fireguards for
use with solid fuel appliances.
DO NOT OVERFIRE
– it is possible to fire the stove beyond its design capacity, this could
damage the stove, so watch for signs of overfiring – if any part of the stove starts to glow red, the
fire 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.
FUME EMISSION
WARNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained, this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes from de-ashing and refuelling 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: -

Adverse weather
– In a small number of installations, occasional local weather conditions (e.g.
wind from a particular direction) may cause downdraught in the flue and cause the stove to emit
fumes. In these circumstances, the stove should not be used. A professional flue installer will be
able to advise on solutions to this problem (e.g. anti-downdraught cowl).
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” above.
