OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OVER FIRING & CHIMNEY FIRES
DO NOT OVER FIRE THIS HEATER. Using
flammable liquids or too much wood or firing the
stove at maximum for prolonged periods or
operating with fire doors open may result in
over-firing. If the chimney connector or casing
glows red the appliance is being over-fired this
may result in permanent damage to the stove and
a chimney fire. If this occurs :
• Call the Fire Service
• Immediately close all of the air inlets to the
appliance, to reduce the air supply to the stove.
• Move items of furniture and combustibles away
from the stove, to reduce a risk of fire and to
allow access for the fire service.
• Ensure access to the loft space is available.
• Evacuate the property.
• An uncontrolled burn or excessive temperature
indicates excessive draft.
The chimney fire may cause structural damage to
the chimney. Do not use the appliance until the
chimney and connector have been inspected and
any damaged parts have been repaired or
replaced. This should be done by a
registered engineer.
Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed
heater design specifications described in this
manual can result in permanent damage to the
heater and to the catalytic.
See page 36 for further details
ASH REMOVAL
The appliance will require ash to be removed
periodically but an ash bed of approximately 20mm
(3/4”) should be maintained. Ash may be removed
with a small shovel whilst the fire is still lit by raking
the embers of a low fire to one side of the firebox
and carefully removing the ash, then repeating the
procedure for the other side. Care must be taken
not to risk burning of hands or household objects
from falling embers.
The ash pan should be emptied when the level of
ash reaches the top of the ash pan. On no account
should the ash be allowed to build up to touch the
underside of the grate bars, as this will greatly
reduce the life span of the grate.
When burning wood it is acceptable to maintain
an ash bed on top of the grate of approximately
20mm (3/4”) without any un-due effect upon the
grate bars.
Ash Disposal.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on
the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled
