The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
SMOKE
EXEMPT
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 offence 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 offence to acquire an
"unauthorised 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 authorise 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 "authorised" in Regulations and
that appliances used to burn solid fuel
in those areas (other than "authorised"
fuels) have been exempted by an Order
made and signed by the Secretary of
State or Minister in the devolved
administrations.
• The Elmdale (FB5BK)
has been
recommended as
suitable for use in
smoke control areas
when burning wood.
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.

1Operating your stove
• You may also experience fumes and a
haze being given off by the stove
during the first firing and possibly for
the next couple of firings as the paint
cures. This is normal, but please
ensure that the room is well ventilated
during this period.
• The appliance should not be operated
in mild weather with smokeless fuel.
Under certain weather circumstances
e.g. fog the chimney will not draw
sufficiently and could cause
asphyxiation. Either await better
weather conditions or burn wood only.
• In the rare event of a malfunction due
to overheating or a chimney fire, the
air slides should be shut down
completely and the fuel allowed to
burn out. In the event of a chimney
fire, once the air slides have been
closed
Recommended Fuels
Wood: hardwood such as ash, oak and
beech which have been cut for at least 2
years and stored under shelter. The logs
should have a maximum moisture
content of 20%. Maximum log length
250mm, maximum width 125mm.
Prohibited Fuels
Green wood: i.e wood which is less
than 2 years old with a moisture content
of above 20%
Recovered wood: i.e pallets, railway
sleepers etc. These will have been
chemically treated and will pollute the
atmosphere and possibly overheat the
appliance.
Housecoal or Bituminous coal: these
fuels will soot up the airways of the
stove and possibly overheat the
appliance.
Petroleum Based Coke: over 20%
content - this will overheat the appliance
and possibly damage the unit.
Liquid fuels.
Paraffin fire lighter blocks..
Please note that during the first firing, we recommend a small fire is lit
and that you slowly increase the temperature to enable the various
parts to expand normally.
Always check with your dealer or directly with the manufacturer as using the
incorrect fuel may invalidate your guarantee and damage your appliance.
Using your appliance for the
first time
• To allow the appliance to bed in, and
fixing glues and paint to fully cure,
only fire the appliance using kindling
and just get hot for at least three fires.
• Before lighting the next small fire
please allow the appliance to return
back to room temperature.
• During these first small fires you may
experience a haze and unpleasant
smell as the paint cures, do not touch
the paint and keep the room well
ventilated.
