Please note that during the first firing,

we recommend a small fire is lit and

that you slowly increase the

temperature to enable the various

parts to expand normally.

You may also experience fumes and a

haze being given off by the stove during

the first firing and possibly for the next

couple of firings as the paint cures. This

is normal but please ensure that the

room is well ventilated during this

period.

In the rare event of a malfunction due to

overheating or a chimney fire, the air

slides should be shut down completely

and the fuel allowed to burn out. In the

event of a chimney fire, once the air

slides have been closed completely, dial

999 for assistance. If the appliance has

overheated, the appliance and flue will

need to be inspected for any damage

before it can be operated again.

Prohibited Fuels

Green wood: i.e wood which is

less than 2 years old with a

and possibly overheat the

appliance.

Housecoal or bituminous coal:

these fuels will soot up the

airways of the stove and possibly

overheat the appliance.

20% - this will overheat the

appliance and possibly damage

the unit.

Liquid fuels.

Paraffin fire lighter blocks:

these can cause damage to the

glass of your appliance.

Always check with your

dealer or directly with the

manufacturer as using the

incorrect fuel may invalidate

your guarantee and damage

your appliance.
