USER INSTRUCTIONS

Draught is caused by the rising hot air in the chimney when the appliance is lit.

Symptoms of poor performance related to flue draught include:

—Excessive fuel consumption (high flue draught).

—Poor burning control, overheating (high flue draught).

—Wind noise from air controls (high flue draught).

—Difficulty getting a fire going and keeping it burning well (low flue draught).

—Low heat output (low flue draught).

—Smoke entering room when doors opened (low flue draught).

The construction, position, size and height of the chimney all affect the performance of the flue draught.

Other factors effecting the flue draught include:

—Trees or other buildings nearby causing turbulence.

—Outside temperature.

—Outside weather conditions.

—Incorrect additional ventilation to building.

—Blocked flue / chimney.

For advice on the correction of persistent flue problems consult a qualified solid fuel heating engineer before continuing to use the appliance.
