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 recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when
burning wood logs. 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

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.
Optionally the appliance can be equipped with a wood log storage module.
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 fi 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 unless it is used in an “exempt” appliance (“exempted” from the
controls which generally apply in the smoke control area).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary of State
in accordance with changes made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 by
section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015.
In Scotland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by Scottish Ministers under
section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.
In Northern Ireland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Department
of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs under Section 16 of the Environmental
Better regulation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016.
In Wales appliances are exempted by regulations made by Welsh Ministers.
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.
• 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.
• Ensure that the room in which the appliance is situated has adequate ventilation.

Installation instructions
• Wood and wood briquettes may be stoked in the appliance.
Do not use any coal and liquid fuels or fuel gel in the appliance. The appliance is not
intended for use of this fuels and can be dangerous and lead to damage to your
health and may seriously damage the appliance.
•Never use the appliance to burn rubbish.
• Please read all instructions / stickers on and around the appliance.
• Read the “Directions for use” before using the appliance for the fi rst time. When you
fi rst fi re up your appliance, there are a number of extra points you should take into
account.
• In transit, some parts of the appliance may have moved from their original place.
Check that the door opens and closes, the brake plates are fi tted correctly to the
brackets at the top of the appliance and the heat-resistant panels are fi xed to the
walls. Check if there are no foreign objects in the appliance.
• Avoid over-loading (white burning glow), caused, for example, by lengthy burning
with primary air (combustion air supply slider all the way to “ +”) or by burning too
much wood in one go. The appliance can then become over-heated.
• Ask for the local building regulations, before commensing the installation of the
appliance.
•Install a carbon monoxide alarm. The carbon monoxide alarm should be battery-
powered and designed to operate for the life of the carbon monoxide alarm,
following which it should be replaced. Alternatively a mains powered carbon
monoxide alarm can be used, however this must be fitted with a sensor failure
warning device.
•The carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted and fixed in place within the same room
as the appliance and can be placed either on the ceiling or wall between 1 meter
and 3 meter horizontally from the appliance. If fitting to the ceiling it must be at least
300mm from any wall. If fitting to a wall, it must be placed as high as possible above
any doors or windows at 150mm below the ceiling.

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.

20
UNIVERSAL-6 85
Installation instructions
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.
