7. The paint/ lacquer can wear thin in exposed places due to overheating. This, and other lacquer damage, may
be repaired using a Westfire Senotherm paint/lacquer spray available from your Westfire dealer.
8. If appliance is to be dormant for several months (summer) leave open all air controls to allow a flow of air
and thus reducing probably of corrosion.
Chimney cleaning
1. The chimney should be swept at least once a year for smokeless fuels and a minimum of twice a year for
wood and other fuels. It is important that the flue connection and chimney are swept prior to lighting up after
a prolonged shutdown period.
2. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month after installation to
clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the stove and the
open fire.
3. In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the installer will have provided alternative
means, such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney the stove flue outlet and the flue pipe connecting the
stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue brush.
Aerosols
Aerosols are flammable and therefore dangerous to use around a lit stove. Do not use aerosols sprays near your lit
stove. The use of any aerosol is dangerous and care must be take in handling aerosols.
Warning Note
Properly installed, operated and maintained this 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 the room and then leave the premises.
(b) Let the fire go 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.
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.
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.
Use of fireguard
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are present a fireguard must be
used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with BS
8423:2002,
Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur. However, if a chimney fire
does occur turn the air controls on your stove to minimum, and tightly close the door of the stove. Call the fire
department. Closing the air should cause the chimney fire to go out but do not open the fire door or controls until
the fire confirmed to be exhausted. The chimney and flue ways should then be inspected and cleaned by a profes-
sional chimney engineer before and further use.
Permanent air vent
The stove requires a permanent air vent to the room or a direct connection to the closed air port at the rear of the
stove. This is to provide adequate air supply in order for the stove to operate safely and efficiently.
