•Remove ash at least once every week

8.Over night burning

8.1It is possible to get the appliance to burn over night. In order to do this:

•De-ash prior to final refuelling

•Set air controls to low combustion settings

This will blacken the glass over night but it will clear when operated at high output for a short period.

•Use smokeless fuel or small, thick logs depending on fuel desired

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

9.2Over-firing can cause permanent damage to the appliance.

10.Chimney fire

10.1If a chimney fire occurs:

•Shut all air controls immediately

•Evacuate the building

•Call the fire brigade

•Do not re-enter the building until it is confirmed safe

10.2Do not use the appliance after a chimney fire until: a) It has been inspected by a registered installer, confirming the appliance is safe to use*

b) The chimney system inspected and swept by a chimney sweep, confirming the system is structurally sound and free from obstruction before re-use.**
