Fume Emission.
Warning Note:
Properly installed and operated this
appliance will not emit fumes.
Occasional fume 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.
b) Let the fire out and safely
dispose of the fuel from the
appliance.
c) Check for flue or chimney
blockage, and clean if required.
d) Do not attempt to re-light the
fire until cause of fume has been
identified, if necessary seek
professional advice.
The most common cause of fume
emission is flueway or chimney
blockage. For your own safety these
must be kept clean.
Fire blazing out of
control
Check that :
a) The door is tightly closed.
b) The spin wheel is fully closed.
c) The airwash control is closed.
d) A suitable fuel is being used.
e) Door seals and airwash slide are
intact.
Chimney Fires.
If the chimney is thoroughly and
regularly swept, chimney fires should
not occur. However, if a chimney fire
does occur close the spin wheel and
the airwash control, and tightly close
the door of the appliance. This
should cause the chimney fire to go
out in which case the controls should
be kept closed until the stove has
gone out. The chimney and flueways
should then be cleaned. If the
chimney fire does not go out when
the above action is taken then the fire
brigade should be called immediately.
After a chimney fire the chimney
should be carefully examined for any
damage. Expert advice should be
sought if necessary.
