4.c Warnings and Pre-lighting Checks
Chilli penguin stoves will not be responsible for any damage caused to the stove
due to either the incorrect installation of the stove or the incorrect use of the stove,
including the use of the wrong fuels. We strongly recommend the use of a qualified
and experienced installer. Please read through these warnings and information
carefully prior to use.
PROTECTING THE STOVE SURFACE
Your stove has been painted using a high temperature paint, this will give a long lasting
and durable finish after the paint has cured. The process of curing occurs during the
first few times you light the stove, (see section 5). Care must be taken when handling
the stove prior to the first firings. It is at its most vulnerable at this stage. With the
lighter colours, particularly the almond, we recommend that you wear clean gloves from
unpacking onwards. Use dry cleaning methods only i.e. soft brush or hoover. Do not use
damp cloths. If you are plastering /decorating in the same room keep the stove covered.
PAINTING FLUE OR STOVE
IF you wish to touch up your stove or paint your flue pipe to match the stove, please
read Painting your stove, section 5. All coloured stoves will come with an aerosol of the
matching colour.
FUMES
While the stove paint is curing, it will give o fumes. Please ensure that you ventilate
the room, opening doors and windows as necessary.
SMOKE EMISSIONS
Properly installed and operated the stove will not emit smoke into your home with
the exception of the occcasional smoke from de-ashing and re-fuelling. Occasionally
adverse weather conditions can cause a down-draught, this should be very occasional.
Persistent smoke emission is dangerous and must not be tolerated. If smoke emission
does persist:
• Open all doors and windows
• Let the fire go out
• Check flue or chimney for blockage
Do not re-light fire until cause of problem has been rectified. Seek professional help.
HOT SURFACES
The surfaces of the appliance are designed to get hot during operation. It is
recommended to use a fireguard in the presence of children or vulnerable adults.
CO alarm
It is a legal requirement to install a Carbon Monoxide and smoke alarm when you
install a solid fuel appliance such as a stove.
