1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of this modern Barbas appliance. This quality product
will provide you with many years of enjoyment due to the !ame effect and warmth that it
provides.
This appliance is exempted under section 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 and can be used
in accordance with the intended use as described in this manual in smoke control areas
in the UK.
Please read the instructions for use carefully before using the appliance for the "rst
time. Keep this booklet in a safe place.
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 offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any
"xed 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 Application Packunless 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.
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.

2 SAFETY
Do not place !ammable objects within 150 cm of the appliance.
Pay special attention to furnishings and ornaments around the appliance.
When you use your appliance, the exterior will become hot. Always wear
the glove or use the accessories supplied when "lling etc. Protect
yourself and others (especially children#) from burns. Do not leave
children unattended when the appliance is burning.
Watch your clothing. Synthetic clothing in particular can easily catch
"re and burn intensely.
Do not approach the appliance with !ammable materials or liquids.
Any work with solvents, adhesives etc. in the space heated by the
appliance can be very dangerous.
It is not allowed to connect the appliance to a !ue which is already
connected to another appliance.
Make sure you know what state your chimney is in. Cracks in the
chimney may not only lead to damp, staining of walls and leaking
of smoke, they can also impair the carrying off of smoke. Make
sure you get proper advice from your dealer or other specialist
company.
Avoid chimney "res# Have your chimney swept at least once per
year - more often if you use your appliance a lot. Prevent excessive
deposits of soot inside the chimney by not burning freshly-cut
wood. Instead, burn clean, dry chopped wood.
Ensure that the room in which the appliance is situated has adequate
ve
ntilatio n.
It is essential that the appliance, the !ue and combustion air supply
are cleaned and inspected annually by a Barbas dealer/specialist.
The safe operation of the appliance will thus remain guaranteed.

Instructions for use
The appliance must never be used with the door open or the door
glass removed.
Wood and wood briquettes may be stoked in the appliance.
Coals cant be burned in the appliance.
Avoid over-loading (white burning glow), caused, for example, by
lengthy burning with a fully open primary air vent (combustion air
supply slider all the way to  +), or by burning too much wood in
one go. The appliance can then become over-heated.
Never use the appliance to burn rubbish.
Do not use your appliance as a barbecue. This can cause (!ammable)
fat deposits to be left in the chimney and hastens the chimney
becoming clogged.
Ensure at all times that children and other people who are not aware
of the operation of a wood-burning appliance are only in the vicinity of
the appliance exclusively under supervision.
Use a "reguard to protect the people and children mentioned
above against possible burns.
The appliance is suitable and approved for intermittent use.
The appliance can be taken in operation if national and local regulations
are satis"ed. The required constructive adaptations should be
satis"ed as well.

4 USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
4.1 GENERAL
Allow your home to dry properly, after you have had your chimney breast modi!ed or
newly built. Walls which have not been allowed to dry properly are a magnet for dust
such as any smoke particles created when stoking up the appliance or suddenly
opening the door.
Even scorched dust can easily be retained by damp walls. Think also of dust on the
outside of the appliance or on hot radiators, lamps etc.
Check that all packaging, stickers etc. and/or all dust and waste has been cleaned up
after the installation work (to avoid it getting scorched/causing a bad smell).
The appliance is coated with a lacquer layer resistant to high temperature. During the
!rst hours of operation, the burning in of the lacquer may result in an unpleasant smell.
This is harmless, however.
To speed up the process, the appliance should be allowed to run for a few hours at the
correct heat level, with adequate ventilation for the room in question.
After using your appliance for the !rst few times, you may be aware of a light deposit
on the inside off the glass. This is caused by the paint curing. Once your appliance has
cooled down, this deposit can be removed with glass cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner.
At the start of the heating season, check that the #ue/chimney is not blocked, for
instance by birds nests etc.
