1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
The appliance must be positioned and connected by a Barbas dealer/specialist in
accordance with the following installation instructions, nationally and locally applicable
regulations. This manual contains directions for both positioning the appliance and for
its environmentally-friendly use. It also contains technical data for the appliance, parts
information and directions in the event of problems.
This appliance is exempted or recommended for exemption 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. The appliance, when sold into the UK
market, include a factory-installed modified air slider to ensure compliance with smoke
emission requirements within smoke control areas.
Study this manual carefully before using the fireplace. We recommend you keep this
manual in a safe place for reference purposes.
The pictures in this Installation Instructions are made from a variant of this appliance.
Although the dimensions of the appliance on the pictures may differ from reality, the
actions and instructions shown are fully valid for the appliance described here.
See the “Instructions for use” for the operation of the appliance
The “Instructions for use” is provided separately by the appliance.
“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
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.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here:
https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules.
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.

1.2 SAFETY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not place flammable objects within 100 cm of the appliance. Pay special attention
to furnishings and ornaments around the appliance.
• During installation of the appliance, a clearance of 3 mm should be maintained on all
sides of the appliance to allow for expansion of the appliance during operation.
• When you use your appliance, the exterior will become hot. Always wear the glove
or use the accessories supplied when filling 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 fire and burn
intensely.
• Do not approach the appliance with flammable 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 flue which is already connected to
another appliance.
•
Check the chimney. Cracks in the chimney may not only lead to damp, st aining
of walls and leaking of smoke, they can also impair the carrying off of smoke .
• Prevent your chimney being soiled from above (birds’ nests etc.) by fitting a suitable
cap to the chimney pot.
• Avoid chimney fires! Have your chimney swept at least once per year - more often
if you use your fire a lot. Prevent excessive deposits of soot inside the chimney by
not burning freshly-cut wood. Instead, burn clean, dry chopped wood.
• Follow the instructions issued by your local fire brigade.
The appliance can be taken in operation if national and local regulations are satisfied.
The required constructive adaptations should be satisfied as well.
• It is essential that the appliance, the flue and combustion air supply are cleaned and
inspected annually by a Barbas dealer/specialist.
The safe operation of the appliance will thus remain guaranteed.
• The appliance is suitable and approved for periodical use.
• The appliance may only be set up if the appliance and location meets the
- national and local installation regulations;
- local fire brigade regulations and required architectural provisions.

2.4 HEARTH REQUIREMENTS
The appliance must be placed on a constructional hearth made of solid non-combustible
material, such as concrete or masonry, at least 125 mm thick, including the thickness of
any non-combustible floor and/or decorative surface. Combustible material should not
be placed beneath the constructional hearths unless there is an air-space of at least
50 mm between the underside of the hearth and the combustible material, or the
combustible material is at least 250 mm below the top of the hearth.
The minimum depth of the constructional hearth is 500 mm. A superimposed hearth on
top of the constructional hearth must have a minimum depth of 225 mm and must be
free of any combustible material. The actual depth of a superimposed hearth is depen-
dent on the installation height of the appliance. The higher the appliance is installed the
deeper the superimposed hearth should be to avoid scorched floor coverings. On the
diagram below the minimum depth of the superimposed hearth in relation to the height
of the appliance can be determined.

3 INSTALLATION
3.1 INSTRUCTIONS
When fitting one of these appliances local and/or national regulations relating to fire
safety must be followed. In case of doubt, consult the fire safety department of the local
fire brigade, particularly if the fire is to be fitted in a home with walls and/or floors
containing flammable material.
The connection of several appliances to a single flue/chimney is not allowed.
3.2 CHIMNEY
If no chimney is immediately available, have one fitted by a recognised specialist only.
The chimney must be compliant with local regulations and is particularly important be-
cause it has a significant bearing on the function of the appliance.
Basic rules:
• A chimney for an open appliance is not, by definition, suitable for a closable model
(i.e. an appliance with doors). As a closed appliance draws in much less (cold) air,
the smoke is hotter. Please have your chimney inspected to see whether it is suitable
for a closable appliance.
• The chimney opening must be at least 5 metres above the top of the door opening of
your appliance.
• The chimney must protrude at least 40 cm above the apex of a sloping roof and at
least 1 metre above a flat roof. In short, the chimney must always end in an area with
a negative air pressure. Contact your local chimney sweep
for the exact dimensions of the chimney opening.
• The internal diameter must not be less than that of the appliance at any point (even
at the end of the pipe).
• Avoid bends at all costs. The maximum deviation from the perpendicular is 45°.
Never use more than 2 bends.
• Both the dimensions and the construction must meet stringent construction
standards. Your recognised specialist will be pleased to assist.
• Contact your fire insurer to make sure that your policy is in order.

UNILUX-6 40
Installation instructions
3.3 FITTING
The appliance can be fitted in the newly-built or existing chimney breast of an open fire.
When fitting, both fire safety and operational safety must be safeguarded. The fitter is
responsible for this.
General guidelines:
• If there is a wooden beam above the fitting location, heat must not radiate directly
onto it. An insulation plate must be hung below the beam, leaving an air gap between
it and the beam of at least 1 cm.
• Always use (white) unbound ceramic insulation wool. Bound material (yellow), such
as glass and rock wool, spreads an irritating smell on heating, causes excess smoke
and is unsuitable for high temperatures.
• Before fitting, remove the door to protect the glass.
Insulation requirements: • temperature resistance ≥700°C.
• density ≥80 kg/m3
3.3.1 Positioning of the appliance
The appliance must be positioned on a concrete surface. If such a surface is not
immediately available, a sufficiently solid pedestal of noninflammable material should
be built from the creeping space.
Ventilate the empty space in the chimney, by placing ventilation openings at the top and
bottom of the chimney breast.
The total ventilation openings should be at least 450 cm2at the bottom of the chimney
breast and also at least 450 cm2at the top of the chimney breast.
(Total ventilation openings: 900 cm2.)
Attention! : Smaller ventilation openings than prescribed here may
cause damage to the chimney breast.
Always maintain the minimum dimensions of the
ventilation openings!
