TROUBLESHOOTING

FIRE WILL NOT BURN

Check that:

a) the air inlet is not obstructed in any way,

b) chimneys and flueways are clear,

c) a suitable fuel is being used,

d) there is an adequate air supply,

e) an extractor fan is not fitted in the same room as the stove.

f) there is sufficient draw in the chimney. Once the chimney is warm a

draught reading of at least 1.25 mm (0.05 inches) water gauge

(12Pa) should be obtained

g) The Undergrate Blanking Plate is fitted for burning wood and

removed for burning smokeless fuels.

FIRE BLAZING OUT OF CONTROL

Check that:

a) The door is tightly closed.

b) The air control slider is fully closed.

c) A suitable fuel is being used.

d) Door seals and air control slider are intact.

e)Undergate plate is fitted when burning wood.

FUME EMISSION

Warning Note: Properly installed and operated this appliance

will not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-

fuelling may occur. Persistent fume emission is potentially

dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does

persist, then the following immediate actions should be taken:

a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room.

b) Let the fire out and safely dispose of the fuel from the

appliance.

c) Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required.

d) Do not attempt to re-light the fire until cause of fume has

been identified. If necessary, seek professional advice.

The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney

blockage. For your own safety these must be kept clean.

CHIMNEY FIRES

If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires

should not occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur close the

air control, and tightly close the door of the appliance. This should

cause the chimney fire to go out in which case the controls should

be kept closed until the stove has gone out. The chimney and

flueways should then be cleaned. If the chimney fire does not go

out when the above action is taken then the fire brigade should be

called immediately. After a chimney fire the chimney should be

carefully examined for any damage. Expert advice should be

sought if necessary.

IF YOU NEED FURTHER HELP

If you need further help with your Charnwood then your Installer will be able to provide the answers to most questions. Your Local Charnwood

Premier Dealer has a great deal of experience and will also be able to provide helpful advice. Further help is available from the Charnwood Customer

Services department who will be pleased to give advice, if necessary.

BLACKENING OF DOOR GLASS

Differences in chimney draughts mean that the best settings of the air

controls will vary for different installations. A certain amount of

experimentation may be required, however the following points

should be noted and with a little care should enable the glass to be

kept clean in most situations:

a) Wet or unseasoned wood, or logs overhanging the front fence will

cause the glass to blacken

b) The airwash relies on a supply of heated air to keep the glass clean.

Therefore, when lighting the stove, allow the firebed to become well

established before closing the air control. This may also be necessary

when re-fuelling the stove.

c) When re-fuelling keep the fuel as far back from the front fence as

possible. Do not try to fit too much fuel into the firebox.

d) Do not completely close the air control.

It is always more difficult to keep the glass clean when running the

stove very slowly for long periods.

If blackening of the glass still occurs check that all flue connections are

well sealed. It is also important that the chimney draw is sufficient and

that it is not affected by down-draught. When the chimney is warm a

draught reading of at least 1.25 mm (0.05 inches) water gauge

(12Pa) should be obtained. Some blackening of the glass may occur

below the level of the fuel retainer. This will not obscure the view of

the fire or affect its performance.
