2.4 HETAS

2.4.1 Warning note on fume emission
Properly installed, operated and maintained this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially
dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, the following immediate actions should be
taken:
•
•
•
Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected.
If necessary seek expert advice.
2.4.2 Extractor fan
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit smoke
and fumes into the room.
2.4.3 Permanent air vent
The stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate safely and efficiently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fitted a permanent air supply vent into the
room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This air vent should not under any circumstances be
shut off or sealed.
2.4.4 Chimney cleaning
The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. It is important that the flue connection and chimney are swept
prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the
chimney will require sweeping after a month of continuous operation. This is a precaution to ensure that any
"softer" deposits left from the open fire usage have not been loosened by the higher flue temperatures generated
by the closed stove.
2.4.5 Periods of prolonged non-use
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a thorough clean to remove
ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air through the appliance to reduce condensation and
subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open.
2.4.6 Use of fireguard
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are present a fireguard must be used
to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with
BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539).
2.4.7 Use of operating tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when the stove is in use.
2.4.8 Aerosol sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
