Properly installed, operated and maintained this
appliance will not emit fumes into the room.
Occasional fumes from de-ashing and refuelling may occur.
Persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and
must not be tolerated.
If fume emission does persist:
—
Open doors and windows to ventilate the room.
—
Allow fire to burn out or safely dispose of fuel from the
appliance.
—
Check for chimney blockage and clean if required.
—
Do not attempt to relight until the cause of the emission
has been identified and corrected.
If necessary seek expert advice.
—
all open flued appliances can be affected by
temporary atmospheric conditions which may
allow fumes to enter the house. Because of this it is
recommended that an electronic carbon monoxide
detector conforming to Bsen50291 be fitted and
maintained.

2.1 To allow the appliance to settle and fixing glues and paint
to fully cure:
—
Operate the appliance at a low temperature for first few
days.
2.2 do not touch the paint during the first period of use.
2.3 During this time the appliance may give off some
unpleasant odours:
—
Keep the room well ventilated to avoid a build-up of
fumes.
condensatIon
cautIon WHen FIllInG
2.4 When filling the boiler with water for the first time, the cold
water entering the water jacket can cause condensation to
form on the surfaces of the appliance (inside and outside).
2.5 In certain conditions this condensation could result in a
considerable amount of water, in some cases enough to fill
the bottom of the appliance. This could be even worse if
the house has recently been re-decorated, wet plastered or
any other work has been undertaken which could result in
high humidity.
2.6 Precautions must be taken to ensure that this build up of
condensate does not overflow from the appliance onto any
surrounding fabric of the room e.g. carpets.

2.7 During normal running this condensation should be minimal
if the system is fitted with the low limit thermostat as
detailed in 1.22 (above). This low limit thermostat prevents
the system pump from running until the stove has reached
temperature.
seasonal use
2.8 If this appliance is unused for lengthy periods of time it
should be periodically checked to ensure that condensation
is not building up within the stove.

—
Dry cut wood for 12 to 18 months before use.
Poor quality timber:
—
Causes low combustion efficiency.
—
Produces harmful condensation.
—
Reduces effectiveness of the airwash and life of the
appliance.
do not burn construction timber, painted, impregnated
/ treated wood, manufactured board products or pallet
wood .
