SAFETY NOTES
o Properly installed, operated and maintained, this appliance will not emit
fumes into the dwelling. However, occasional fumes from de-ashing and
re-fuelling may occur.
o Persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be
tolerated. If fume emission does persist, open doors and windows to
ventilate the room. Let the fire burn out or eject and safely dispose of fuel
from the appliance. Once the fire is cold, check the flue and chimney for
blockages and clean if required. Do not attempt to relight the fire until the
cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected.
o Seek expert advice if necessary.
o An adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation is essential. Air
openings provided for this purpose must not be restricted.
o Should it be likely that children, aged, or infirm people approach the
appliance whilst the fire door is open, then a fireguard manufactured in
accordance with BS 8423:2010 should be used. Also warn children not to
sit or stand on the appliance or use it as a ‘step-stool’ for access to
cupboards or shelves etc. above the appliance.
o Avoid the use of aerosol sprays in the vicinity of the cooking stove when
it is in operation and do not heat any unopened airtight containers.

these instructions carefully.

at Work Act 1974 to provide for the safety of persons carrying out the
