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 fireplace will not emit
fumes. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and refueling 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 fireplace.
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 fireplace.
USING YOUR FIREPLACE
THE CONTROLS
AIR SLIDE
Moving the air slide to the left enables maximum air into the firebox. Moving air
slide to the right closes off air into the firebox, which slows the burn down.
WARNING: THE TEMPERATURE REACHED BY THESE ITEMS DURING
OPERATION MAY CAUSE AN INJURY TO AN END-USER. AS THESE ARE
INTENDED TO BE ADJUSTED DURING OPERATION, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT
PROTECTIVE GLOVES ARE WORN WHEN HANDING THESE PARTS.
TYPES OF FUEL
Fuel should be dry and timber should be well seasoned (at least 8-12 months) so as to have
moisture content below 20%. The use of damp wood will result in more soot and tar deposits
being left in the chimney, flu and fireplace, and will not release heat if thermal energy is being
used to drive out moisture from the fuel.
