OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OVER FIRING & CHIMNEY FIRES
DO NOT over fire your appliance. Using flammable
liquids or too much wood or firing the stove at
maximum for prolonged periods may result in over-
firing. If the chimney connector or casing glows red
the appliance is being over-fired this may result in
a chimney fire. If this occurs :
• Call the Fire Service—
Dial 999
• Immediately close all of the air inlets to the
appliance, to reduce the air supply to the
stove.
• Move items of furniture and combustibles
away from the stove, to reduce a risk of fire
and to allow access for the fire service.
• Ensure access to the loft space is available.
• Evacuate the property.
The chimney fire may cause structural damage to
the chimney. Do not use the appliance until the
chimney and connector have been inspected and
any damaged parts have been repaired or
replaced. This should be done by a HETAS
registered engineer.
ASH REMOVAL
The appliance will require ash to be removed
periodically but an ash bed of approximately 20mm
(3/4”) should be maintained. Ash may be removed
with a small shovel whilst the fire is still lit by raking
the embers of a low fire to one side of the firebox
and carefully removing the ash, then repeating the
procedure for the other side. Care must be taken
not to risk burning of hands or household objects
from falling embers.
The ash pan should be emptied at least twice a
day or when the level of ash reaches the top of the
ash pan. On no account should the ash be allowed
to build up to touch the underside of the wood tray
as this will greatly reduce the life span of the tray.
When burning wood, it is acceptable to maintain an
ash bed on top of the wood tray of
approximately 20mm (3/4”) without any un-due
effect.
WARNING :
The ash can be very hot. Empty only
into a metal container. Even if the ash
appears cold, red-hot pieces of ash may
be concealed and could easily start a fire
or cause an injury
