1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
The appliance must be positioned and connected by a Barbas dealer/specialist in
accordance with these Installation instructions, nationally and locally applicable
regulations.
This manual contains directions for both positioning and for connecting
the appliance .
It also contains indications for the annual maintenance, technical data for the appliance,
parts information and directions in the event of problems.
Study the Installation instructions carefully before using the appliance. We recommend
you keep this manual in a safe place for reference purposes.
Read the “Instructions for use & maintenance manual” before operating 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:
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.

1.2 SAFETY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Safety
• Do not place flammable 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 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.
•
Cheak 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.

first fire 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 plate is fitted correctly to the
brackets at the top of the appliance, the heat-resistant panels are fixed to the walls
and the panels on the bottom have not moved. 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.
This may damage the metal flue gas flap.
• Ask for the local building regulations, before commensing the installation of the
appliance.
