Please note that “all local regulations,  including those referring to national and European Standards, need to be complied with when installing this appliance”. For further information on installing and using fireplaces and multi-fuel stoves, please see the relevant building regulations that apply to the country in which WEST FIRE UNIQ 35 has been approved.
These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure the satisfactory installation of the WEST FIRE UNIQ35 stove, although the detail may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions.
In all cases, the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority Byelaws, and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the stove.
It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirements may be met by adopting the relevant recommendations given in British Standards BS EB 8303, BS EN 15287  design, installation, and commissioning of chimneys as an alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained following the guidance given in Approved  DocumentJ.

HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Acts are met.
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading, and site handling.
Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In case of contact wash immediately with plenty of water.
Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of installation then please seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protective equipment.
CO Alarms
Building regulations require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s instructions. The provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing the appliance correctly or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney system.

Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove care should be taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury.
Stove paint Aerosols
Paint aerosols are flammable and therefore dangerous to use around a lit stove. Be sure to allow aerosol spray paints to dry and ventilate the room well before lighting the stove.  The use of any aerosol around a lit stove is dangerous and care must be taken in handling aerosols.

PREPARATORY WORK AND SAFETY CHECKS – IMPORTANT WARNING
IMPORTANT WARNING
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance.
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit fumes into the room.
Chimney – Chimney Connection
Flue Diameter 125mm
In order for the stove to perform satisfactorily, the chimney height must be sufficient to ensure an adequate draught so as to clear the products of combustion and prevent smoke problems in the room.

| Flue gas flow rate wood /coal| Test flue gas temperature wood /coal| @ pascals of pressure
---|---|---|---
UNIQ 35| 4.6/ 4.7g/sec| 259/240c| 12

NOTE: A chimney height of not less than 4.5 meters measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to the top of the chimney should be satisfactory. Alternatively, the calculation procedure given in BS 5854:1980 may be used as the basis for deciding whether a particular chimney design will provide sufficient draught. The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with the provisions of Building Regulations Approved Document J.
If the installation is into an existing chimney then it must be sound and have no cracks or other faults which might allow fumes into the house. Older properties, especially, may have chimney faults or the cross-section may be too large i.e. more than 160 mm x 160 mm. Remedial action should be taken, if required, seeking expert advice. If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable for solid fuel must be used in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.
Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction and have been swept clean immediately before installation of the stove. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the stove and the open fire.
If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J or a twin walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS 4543 can be used. These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and Building Regulations.
A single wall metal flue pipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for use for the complete chimney. The chimney and connecting flue pipe must have a minimum diameter of 125 mm and its dimension should be not less than the size of the outlet socket of the stove. Any bend in the chimney or connecting flue pipe should not exceed 45°. 90° bends should not be used.
If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then either an adjustable flue damper or alternatively a draught stabilizer should be fitted. The adjustable flue damper should not close off the flue entirely but should in its closed position leave a minimum continuous opening free area of at least 20 % of the total cross-sectional area of the flue or flue pipe.
Adequate provision e.g. easily accessible soot door or doors must be provided for sweeping the chimney and connecting flue pipe.

Distance to Combustible materials
Combustible materials should not be located where the heat dissipating through the walls of fireplaces or flues could ignite it. Therefore when installing the stove in the presence of combustible materials due account must be taken of the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.

The minimum distances to flammable materials are specified on the EN 13240 plate on the back of the stove.
Hearth
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove and its chimney if the chimney is not independently supported.
The WEST FIRE UNIQ 35 stove has been tested and is suitable to be installed on a 12mm non-combustible plate such as Westfire 12mm glass plates or 20mm slate plates.  installation of all hearths should comply with size and construction so that it is in accordance with the provisions of the current Building Regulations Approved Document J. The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding, or upon the hearth and walls adjacent to the hearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.
If the stove is to be installed on a wooden floor, it must be covered with a non-combustible material of at least 12mm thick, in accordance with Building Regulations, Approved  Document J, to a distance of 30 cm in front of the stove and 15 cm to each side measuring from the door of the combustion chamber.

Combustion air supply
In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely, there should be an adequate air supply into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This is particularly necessary if the room is double-glazed or a flue draught stabilizer is operating in the same room as the appliance. The provision of air supply to the stove must be in accordance with current Building Regulations Approved Document J. An opening window is not appropriate for this purpose. Air inlets must be positioned in such a way that they cannot be blocked. An air inlet may be a vent (the vent must be open and the capacity of the vent sufficient when the stove is lit) or a fresh air system linked to the stove.
The WEST FIRE UNIQ 35 is fitted as standard with a closed air supply collar, this enables the stove to take all combustion air (primary, secondary and tertiary) directly from outside with an 80mm pipe from the stove.
There are no European rules regarding the minimum distance to non-flammable walls, Westfire recommends leaving a gap of at least 10 cm behind and to the sides of the stove.

Westfire Insulated chambers
The WEST FIRE UNIQ 35 stove is lined with vermiculite heat deflection panels and baffles, these panels are designed to ensure maximum efficiency and are an integral part of the clean burn process of the stove. These baffles should not be removed other than for cleaning the stove. Any panels showing significant ware should be replaced.

Connection to chimney
The WEST FIRE UNIQ 35 stoves are factory set up with a top flue outlet only; the flue outlet can be altered on the inset model by removing the collar and rotating 180  degrees and re-bolting. This will give a collar that is now at a 45-degree angle. Care should be taken to ensure an airtight fit when refitting the collar. This collar allows connection to either a stainless steel chimney liner or a prefabricated factory-made insulated metal chimney. Westfire DO NOT recommend installation of this appliance directly into a masonry chimney.

Commissioning and handover
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out, a small fire may be lit to check that smoke and fumes are taken from the stove up the chimney and emitted safely into the atmosphere. Do not run at full output for at least 24 hours.
On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions for the stove are left with the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance with the fuels likely to be used on the stove and notify them to use only the recommended fuels for the stove. Advise the user on what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer should be warned to use a fireguard to BS 6539 in the presence of children, aged, and/or infirm persons.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE OF YOUR APPLIANCE
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Uniq 35 new multi-fuel stove from Westfire ApS. The Westfire UNIQ 35 is constructed in steel with a vermiculite insulated chamber.
Please read this manual carefully in order to ensure that you get maximum enjoyment from your new stove and to prevent any problems. Please note that “all local regulations,  including those referring to national and European Standards, need to be complied with when installing this appliance”.
Warning
CO Alarm: Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm sounds unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under “Warning  Note” above. Use a fireguard in the presence of children, and old and/or infirm people. The fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002, Fireguards for use with solid fuel appliances.

OPERATING YOUR STOVE- WEST FIRE UNIQ 35 – CONTROLS

PRIMARY AIR CONTROL SETTINGS
Burning wood position 1 to position 2
When burning wood use primary air control from position 1 (fully pushed in) to position 2 (when controls stop midway). Do not move beyond this position for wood burning.

Burning wood position 3 to position 4
When burning coal the primary air control drops to position 3 (midpoint location) operate and regulate your stove between positions 3 and 4 (fully pulled out).

The first lighting of your stove
The heat-resistant paint on your stove will cure and harden the first time you light your appliance. The curing process produces a good deal of smoke and odor, it is therefore important that the first time you light your stove the room should be well ventilated. During the process, it is important to open and close the stove door periodically (every  30mins) during the first couple of firings, therefore, preventing the door seal cord around the door from sticking and coming away from the door. Once the heat-resistant paint has hardened the smell will disappear. This stove is NOT designed to be used with the door open, the stove door must be kept closed except when lighting the stove, adding firewood, or removing ash in order to prevent flue gases from escaping. The door does not operate the appliance with the ash pan removed or open.

Lighting your appliance
Quality Firelighters should be used when lighting the stove. (Never use mentholated spirit, petrol, or other flammable liquids). Lighting your stove with firelighters will be more reliable and easier than using paper.
UNIQ 35 RELOAD WEIGHTS

| 1 HR RELOAD| 2 HOUR RELOAD
---|---|---
WOOD (HARDWOOD LOGS)| 1.2kg| 1,2kg
SMOKELESS COAL BRIQUETTES (REGISTERED ONLY)| N/A| 1.1kg

To light your stove Wood

1. Place a few smaller pieces of dry wood (kindling) on the stove on top of the nontoxic firelighters, and place one or two small dry splits (¼ split) logs on top.

2. Fully open the secondary air control above the stove door on the right-hand side. Fully open primary air control at the base left of the stove. The Uniq 35 stoves air controls are now fully open.

3. Light the firelighters and push the door to the closed position and close the handle to 1st position; this will allow a small gap in the door for more air to be supplied to the stove during the ignition period.

4. When the flames are established and the fire is burning brightly push the door latch to position 2 fully closed.

5. Once the fire is burning brightly again close the primary air control. This will close off the primary air to the stove.
   If the stove begins to falter after the primary is closed, open primary control again and leave until the fire has established, then close.

6. The fire should now be fully established and burning brightly. At this stage close secondary air control by 50%, this is the operational setting. For the stove to burn cleanly and efficiently plenty of secondary air is needed, do not be tempted to shut the fire down too early as this may cause smoke. At nominal heat output, expect to refuel your stove once an hour.

The WEST FIRE UNIQ 35 stove is equipped with manual regulating control for secondary air; this is designed to ensure a plentiful supply of oxygen during firing. It is important therefore to not fully close the secondary air control.
When lit, the stove will get very hot and due care must therefore be exercised. Please use a glove and operating tool supplied when operating air controls and riddlers.
RE-FUELING wood
To refuel your stove in the cleanest way.
Only refuel your stove when flames have died down and you have glowing embers.
Before refueling, open secondary air control fully, and open primary air control fully. Open the door, and add two pieces of split wood measuring approximately 20cm with a combined weight of 1.15kg. Close the door and leave the primary and secondary air controls open until a fire is re-established with flames. Close primary air control and slide secondary air control to the operational position (40% open).

BURNING WOOD IN A SMOKE CONTROL AREA
You must purchase a smoke control version of the Westfire Uniq 35 stove which is modified slightly to comply with regulations. Any change to this modification will invalidate the stove’s compliance with smoke control areas.

The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
Under the Clean Air Act, local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke control area. It is an offense to emit smoke from a  chimney of a building, from a furnace, or from any fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area. It is also an offense to acquire an “unauthorized fuel” for use within a smoke control area unless it is used in an “exempt” appliance (“exempted” from the controls which generally apply in the smoke control area).

The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to authorize smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in  England. In Scotland and Wales, this power rests with Ministers in the devolved administrations for those countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke control areas have been “authorized” in Regulations and that appliances used to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than “authorized” fuels) have been exempted by an Order made and signed by the Secretary of  State or Minister in the devolved administrations.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here: http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.  UK/ Your local authority is responsible for implementing the  Clean Air Act 1993 including designation and supervision of smoke control areas and you can contact them for details of Clean Air Act requirements

Using your stove in a smoke control zone.
Only specific SE models are suitable for smoke control areas (see page 4), alterations should not be attempted. Westfire smoke control stoves should not be burnt with the door left open.
The refueling procedure: allow the newly charged fuel to burn with the secondary air control set at maximum for up 3 to 4 minutes. After this period, with flames from the logs fully established, close the secondary air supply to the low output setting. When operating at the high output (secondary air set fully open) the new refuel charge does not require any boost air to establish combustion.

Refueling onto a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emissions can occur. Refueling 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 to prevent excessive smoke.
To light your stove Smokeless Coal

1. Place a few smaller pieces of dry wood (kindling) on the stove on top of the nontoxic firelighters, and place one or two small dry splits and a small quantity of Smokeless coal.
2. Fully open the secondary air control above the stove door on the right-hand side. Fully open primary air control at the base left of the stove. Pull open the coal switch. The Uniq 35  stoves air controls are now fully open.
3. Light the firelighters and push the door to the closed position and close the handle to 1st position; this will allow a small gap in the door for more air to be supplied to the stove during the ignition period.
4. When the flames are established and the fire is burning brightly load 1.1 kg of smokeless coal and close the door latch to position 2 fully closed.
5. Once the fire is burning maintain the secondary air control 100%.
6. Now the fully established fire bed is burning brightly. Maintain primary air control at 100%, this is the operational setting. For the stove to burn cleanly and efficiently primary air is needed, do not be tempted to shut the fire down too early as this may cause smoke. At nominal heat output, expect to refuel your stove once every two hours. When lit, the stove will get very hot and due care must therefore be exercised. Please use a glove and operating tool supplied when operating air controls.

RE-FUELING Smokeless fuel
To refuel your stove. Only refuel your stove when flames have died down and you have glowing embers.
Before refueling open secondary air control fully, and open primary air control fully. Open the door and re-load 1.1 kg of smokeless coal. Close the door and leave the primary and secondary air controls open until a fire is re- established. Maintain secondary air control at 100% and maintain primary air control to its operational position (100% open).
Operational Position of air controls during operation and in adverse conditions
You need to become familiar with your stove in order to be able to regulate the air controls correctly, as outside factors such as the quality and height of your chimney, the quality of your fuel, and the external weather conditions can alter the stove’s operational settings and performance.
Very damp weather can affect the draw of the stove and therefore more secondary air may be needed to adjust.
Very still cold clear days induce more draught and the setting for secondary air may be less than nominal settings.
Such accommodations will become normal once you are familiar with your stove.
It is easy to see whether the stove is functioning correctly; incomplete combustion will be shown by

1. The inside of the fire chamber firebricks have a black dusty build-up,
2. A build-up of hard shiny soot on the inside of the glass
3. Smoking chimney.
   To prevent sooting of the chamber and glass introduce more secondary air, also check that your wood is dry.
   It is important to check the draft conditions before lighting your stove. This may be done, for instance, by crumpling a piece of newspaper, placing it in the combustion chamber, and lighting it. The draft conditions are good if the smoke is drawn away through the chimney.

Door operation
When opening the door of your Westfire stove always wear the glove that is provided to protect your hand from possible heat. The handle pulls out away from the door. When shutting the door push the door closed and push the handle firmly to the second closed position. The WF UNIQ 35 door handle has two positions position 1 holds the door slightly ajar for starting, and position 2 is fully closed.

Recommended Fuels
Good quality wood is the most important factor in your stove working efficiently and cleanly. Always use dry split firewood. The dryness of the firewood plays an important role since the use of wet wood results in poor fuel economy and may cause a tarry sooty film on the internals of the stove.
The Westfire UNIQ 35 is tested to burn wood and smokeless coal. Wood briquettes can also be burnt but load weight should be strictly adhered to. For a full list of suitable fuels, check with the official solid fuels approvals body, HETAS, or Solid Fuel Association. Do not overload the stove as this can cause excessive heat and damage the stove. ALWAYS KEEP FUEL LOAD BELOW TERTIARY PORTS AT THE REAR OF THE STOVE.

Only use fuels approved for use on heating stoves.
Do not burn liquid fuels, driftwood, finished wood, sawn wood, pallet wood, chipboard/plywood, varnished wood or plastic coated wood, wood treated with preservatives, or house hold waste.
DO NOT EXCEED SPECIFIED FUEL WEIGHTS.
DO NOT BURN HOUSE COAL. DO NOT BURN HOUSEHOLD WASTE; THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT AN INCINERATOR.
HOUSE COAL AND PETROLEUM COKE ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON THIS STOVE; THEIR USE WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE  ESTFIRE RECOMMENDS THE USE OF A FLUE THERMOSTAT TO CHECK YOUR STOVE IS NOT OVERHEATING. PLACE THE FLUE THERMOSTAT DIRECTLY ABOVE THE COLLAR OF THE STOVE AND REFER TO THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IN THIS MANUAL.

Overnight burning
Westfire UNIQ 35 is designed to burn wood and quality smokeless fuels.
Wood burns more efficiently and cleanly if is burnt hotter and reloaded regularly. Running your stove with combustion air closed is inefficient and bad for the environment. Westfire does not recommend that their stoves are burnt overnight for this reason.

Use of operating tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when the stove is in use.
The Westfire Uniq 35 has:

1. Heat-resistant glove
2. Adjustment tool
3. Instruction manual

Maintenance – regular maintenance

Maintenance is an important factor in maintaining the efficient operation of your stove. Please carry out the following actions regularly.

1. Remove ash regularly, do not allow ash to build up and flow over the ash pan. This can interfere with air controls.
   Make sure the stove is completely cold before cleaning out ash (embers can remain hot for over 24 hours).
   Ash must be stored in a non-combustible container and must not be mixed with other combustible waste.

2. Check vermiculite panels, these panels can crack, but this will not affect performance unless the crack grows and the brick breaks down.

3. Clean glass regularly, and do not allow build-up of deposits, regular condensation and acid deposits from combustion cause ceramic glass to whiten and crack. Do not slumber smokeless coal or wood. Clean glass with a lint-free cloth and hot soapy water; do not use an aggressive cleaner. If you have persistent stubborn marks please use a ceramic glass cleaner. Thoroughly dry the glass after cleaning

4. Clean the outside of your stove with a dry lint-free cloth.

5. Check seals for signs of fraying.

Annual service
The inside of the stove should be serviced /cleaned once or twice a year depending on the amount of use. Your local supplier will be able to carry out a full service on your appliance. The following steps should be taken

1. Clean the inside, and remove all ash, soot, and tar residue from the combustion chamber. Remove insulated chamber panels and baffle, dirt and soot will collect behind it and this must be cleaned out.
2. Check the quality of all insulated panels and replace any which are badly damaged,
3. Replace stove rope seals
4. Check glass is correctly seated and glass seals are in good condition.
5. Check air controls
6. Check flue ways: the flue pipe connection and the chimney should be checked regularly by a qualified engineer. The chimney should also be checked for blockages before relighting the stove if it has not been used for an extended period of time.
7.  The paint/ lacquer can wear thin in exposed places due to overheating. This, and other lacquer damage, may be repaired using a Westfire Senotherm paint/lacquer spray available from your Westfire dealer.
8. If the appliance is to be dormant for several months (summer) leave open all air controls to allow a flow of air and thus reducing probably of corrosion.

Chimney cleaning

1. The chimney should be swept at least once a year for smokeless fuels and a minimum of twice a year for wood and other fuels. It is important that the flue connection and chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period.
2. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the stove and the open fire.
3. In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove, the installer will have provided alternative means, such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney the stove flue outlet and the flue pipe connecting the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue brush.

Aerosols
Aerosols are flammable and therefore dangerous to use around a lit stove. Do not use aerosol sprays near your lit stove. The use of any aerosol is dangerous and care must be taken in handling aerosols.
Warning Note
Properly installed, operated, and maintained this stove 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, then the following immediate action should be taken:
(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave the premises.
(b) Let the fire go out.
(c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required
(d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected.
If necessary seek expert advice.

The most common cause of fume emission is flue way or chimney blockage. For your own safety, these must be kept clean at all times.
CO Alarm
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm sounds unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under “Warning Note” above.
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,

Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur turn the air controls on your stove to a minimum, and tightly close the door of the stove. Call the fire department. Closing the air should cause the chimney fire to go out but do not open the fire door or controls until the fire is confirmed to be exhausted. The chimney and flue ways should then be inspected and cleaned by a professional chimney engineer before any further use.
Permanent air vent
The stove requires a permanent air vent to the room or a direct connection to the closed airport at the rear of the stove. This is to provide adequate air supply in order for the stove 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.

Troubleshooting

1. Fire Will Not Burn – check
   a) the air inlet is not obstructed in any way,
   b) that chimneys and flue ways are clear,
   c) that a suitable fuel is being used,
   d) that there is an adequate air supply into the room,
   e) that an extractor fan is not fitted in the same room as the fire.

2. Fire Blazing out of control – check
   a) if the door is tightly closed,
   b) the air control is turned down to the minimum setting,
   c) the air controls are closed and that it is not prevented from closing completely by a piece of ash,
   d) a suitable fuel is being used, do not burn waste wood
   e) the door seals are in good condition
   f) if the chimney draft may be too strong
   g) check ash pan seal and
   h) check for ash below the ash pan causing the pan to not seat correctly and clean out.

3. Soot forms on the window
   a) The firewood may be too wet
   b) the intake of secondary air may be insufficient
   c) fire not hot enough

4. The stove fails to heat fully
   a) The firewood may be too wet
   b) the intake of secondary air may be insufficient

5. Smoke or odor
   a) Weak chimney draft
   b) check for blockages in the flue pipe/chimney
   c) check the height of the chimney in relation to the surroundings

6. Soot in the chimney
   a) The firewood may be too wet
   b) intake of secondary air may be insufficient

IMPORTANT NOTES

General
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work and commissioning checks described in the installation instructions have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept clean, is sound, and free from any obstructions. As part of the stoves’ commissioning and handover, the installer should have shown you how to operate the stove correctly.
