Know the Danger Signs

Watch out for any of the warning signs that your appliance is not functioning properly:

• Staining, sooting or discolouration around the appliance
• Appliances that burn slowly, badly (orange or 'floppy' flames) or go out
• A yellow or orange flame where normally blue
• Condensation or dampness on walls and windows in the room once the appliance is lit
• A strange smell when the appliance is on
• Rusting or water streaking on appliance cabinet/vent/chimney
• Loose or disconnected vent/chimney connections or guards

If you detect any of these conditions, have a professional service technician fully examine the unit for safety.
