^Advice for Indoor Fires: Clean your flue or chimney at least once a year to prevent a build-up of flammable material and ensure your heater works efficiently. Regularly check the flue and chimney for cracks or damage as sparks and embers may enter the roof space and start a fire. Do not use combustible liquids to light open fires or combustion stoves (use fire-lighters instead). When disposing of ash, ensure it is completely cool and no embers remain.
