OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

If blackening of the glass still occurs check that all flue connections 
and the blanking plate are well sealed. It is also important that the flue 
draw is sufficient and that it is not affected by down-draught. When 
the flue is warm a draught reading of at least 1.25 mm (0.05 in.) 
water gauge (12Pa) should be obtained. Some blackening of the glass 
may occur below the level of the fuel retainer. This will not obscure 
the view of the fire or affect its performance.

Fume Emission

Warning Note: Properly installed and operated this appliance will 
not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling 
may occur. Persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and 
must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the 
following immediate actions should be taken:

a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave 
the premises.

b) Let the fire out and safely dispose of the fuel from the appliance.

c) Check for flue or flue blockage, and clean if required. 

d) Do not attempt to re-light the fire until cause of fuming has 
been identified, if necessary seek professional advice.

The most common cause of fume emission is a flue blockage. For 
your own safety the flue must be kept clean

Fire blazing out of control

Check that:

a) The door is tightly closed. 

b) The air control slider is fully closed. 

c) A suitable fuel is being used.

d) Door seals and air slide are intact.

Flue Fires

If the flue is thoroughly and regularly swept, flue fires should not 
occur. However, if a flue fire does occur close the air control, and 
tightly close the door of the appliance. This should cause the flue fire 
to go out in which case the controls should be kept closed until the 
stove has gone out. The flue should then be cleaned. If the flue fire 
does not go out when the above action is taken then the fire brigade 
should be called immediately. After a flue fire the chimney should be 
carefully examined for any damage. Expert advice should be sought 
if necessary
