9.OVER-FIRING

9.1Do not over-fill with fuel or use at maximum output for long periods or over-firing can occur. If the flue pipe, flue collar or top plate glow red the appliance is over-firing:

•Close the air controls to reduce the output

•Shut all air controls immediately

•Evacuate the building
