Wren - Manual

WARNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained the
stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling
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:
(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room and
then leave the premises.
(b) Let the fire out.
(c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean
if required.
(d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause
of the fume emission has been identified and
corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.
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.
The most common cause of fume emission is flue-
way or chimney blockage. For your own safety
these must be kept clean at all times.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Now that your stove is installed and no doubt you
are looking forward to many comforts it will provide,
we would like to give you some tips on how to get
the best results from your stove.
1. We would like if you could take some time to
read the operating instructions/hints, which we
are confident, will be of great benefit to you.
2. Do not burn fuel with a high moisture content,
such as damp or unseasoned timber.
This will only result in a build up of tar in the
stove and in the chimney and the possibility of a
chimney fire.
3. ONCE A MONTH CHECK TO ENSURE THAT
THERE IS NO BUILD UP OF SOOT OR
BLOCKAGES AT THE STOVE FLUE EXIT
BEFORE LIGHTING ESPECIALLY AFTER A
SHUT-DOWN PERIOD. THIS MAY REQUIRE
REMOVAL OFTHE TOP BAFFLE.
4. Before loading fresh fuel into the firebox, riddle
gently, this will allow better and cleaner burning.
See Re-Fuelling Section.

5. Never allow a build up of ashes in the ash pan,
as this may cause the grate to burn out prema-
turely.
6. Allow adequate air ventilation to ensure plenty
of air for combustion.
7. Do not burn rubbish/house hold plastic. Do not
burn manufactured timber which contains glue.
Do not burn processed or pressure treated
timber as this will create a very intense fire over
a short period of time which will damage the
appliance.
8. Clean the chimney at least twice a year.
9. Burning at a low burn rate or unseasoned timber
will stain the glass. Regular cleaning will prevent
permanent staining.
10. Keep all combustible materials a safe distance
away from the appliance, please see section for
clearances to combustion.
11. For safety reasons never leave children, elderly
or infirmed unaccompanied while stove is in use.
Use a fireguard for solid fuel appliances in
accordance with BS 8423:2002.
12. Avoid contact with appliance when in use as the
stove reaches very high operating tempera-
tures.
13. This appliance should be regularly maintained
by a competent service engineer. Use only
replacement parts recommended by AGA.
Using unauthorised parts will invalidate
your guarantee and may cause damage or
injury.
14. Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the
stove when it is alight.
AN ODOUR WILL EMIT FROM STOVE ON FIRST
FIRING, WHEN FIRE REACHES MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURE OVER A NUMBER OF HOURS
THIS ODOUR WILL SUBSIDE.
IT IS BEST ADVISED TO OPEN WINDOWS
DURING THIS PERIOD.
THIS ODOUR IS UNPLEASANT BUT NOT TOXIC.
YOU MAY WISH TO VACATE THE ROOM WHILE
THE PAINT CURES.
WARNING: THE AIR CONTROLS/DOOR HAN-
DLE WILL BECOME HOT WHEN THE STOVE
HAS BEEN IN OPERATION FOR SOME TIME,
USE THE GLOVE/TOOLS PROVIDED WHEN
REFUELLING OR ADJUSTING AIR CONTROLS.
