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.
