6.4 Warning - Fume / Smoke emissions
Properly installed, with a suitable flue or chimney, operated and maintained correctly, this
appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes when de-ashing and
refuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must
be investigated by an approved / registered installer.
WARNING!
STOP USING THE APPLIANCE IF YOU SMELL FUMES OR SEE SMOKE ESCAPING.
If fume emission does persist, the following immediate actions should be taken:
• Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
• Let the fire die or extinguish and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.
• Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required.
Seek expert advice from your approved installer.
Do not attempt to re-light the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified
and corrected.
6.5 Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel charge, excessive
smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of
glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there
are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling for ignition to prevent excessive
smoke.

• Always recharge onto hot embers.
• After re-charging, fully open both the primary and secondary air controls for the
following times, in order to establish good combustion -
