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).
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. Similarly, 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Recommended Fuels
Hardwood logs: such as ash, oak and beech which have been cut for at least 12 months with a
maximum moisture content of 20% and stored under shelter.
Maximum log length: 300mm length with a maximum depth of 125mm.
Prohibited Fuels
Green wood: i.e. wood which is less than 12 months old with a moisture content of above 20%
Recovered wood: i.e. pallets, fencing panel, railway sleepers etc. These will have been
impregnated with wood preservatives which can cause issues with the flue and possibly overheat
the appliance.
Liquid fuels.
Peat based Fuels
Household waste: Burning this can produce harmful fumes.
solid mineral fuels
Initial Firing of the appliance
Please note that the first fire you light in your stove should be small, and be operated with the air
inlet set as low as possible –the air control should be set in the left position to achieve this.
During this initial firing it is normal to experience fumes and a light haze from the appliance as the
paint cures during which you must ensure the room is well ventilated.
Normal Operation (after initial firing)
To establish clean burning, it is important to get the appliance hot as quickly as possible. This can be
achieved with the following ignition regime:-
I. Set the air control to the maximum setting by moving the air control to the right.
II. Light a double-handful of kindling with a couple of firelighters, with the door 5-10mm open.
After 3 minutes a hot fuel bed will have been established, then add two small sized logs (each
about half the size of a "standard" 9 inch log).
III. Let these burn well for another 3 minutes , with the door still open 5-10mm.
Refuelling your stove - in order to maintain clean burning, after refuelling air control needs to be
open for 5 minutes afterwards.
Over Firing
Do not run the stove with the air control fully open for prolonged periods. This may result in over
firing and cause damage to the appliance invalidating your warranty
Do not leave the stove unattended during lighting. After the ignition procedure is complete, the
stove must not be operated with the door open

Carron Revolution 5kw
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke
emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and
ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the fire
bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke
Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can
cause excess smoke.
Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with the
appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.
Dampers left open
Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance
must not be operated with air controls, appliance dampers or door left open except as directed in the
instructions.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY
Ash Removal
Wood burns most efficiently on a bed of ashes allowing you to get the best results from your wood
burning stove. However, the ash, should not be allowed to build up excessively (no more the 25mm in
depth) on the stove base.
When the appliance is cool, the ash should be swept from the appliance taking care not to damage
the lining of the stove. Sharp pointed pokers must not be used.
Ashes can remain hot for a long period after the fire has extinguished, care must be take when
disposing of these and ensuring they are completely cooled.
Chimney Fire
In the unlikely event of a chimney fire,
If safe to do so, ensure the stove door is closed
If safe to do so, close the air control.
Evacuate the property immediately and call the fire brigade.
Do not attempt to extinguish your stove.
Do not use the appliance until the chimney/flue has been inspected by a qualified person and any
faults found have been rectified.
Persistent fume emission should not occur if the product is properly installed and operated. However,
should this happen, take immediate action as follows:-
Ventilate the room
Extinguish the fire
Check the chimney/flue for blockages and clean if required
Seek expert advice if necessary.
Caution - The stove and flue pipe will become extremely hot during use; take care especially when
children or the infirm are present. Do not store flammable materials near to the stove. Any
combustible furnishings must be at least 800mm away.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS AND SPARE PARTS
Maintenance
Maintaining your appliance will help ensure you have many years of trouble-free use. Regular checks
of the following items is recommended: -
NOTE ALL MAINTENANCE TO BE CARRIED OUT WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS COLD
Removal of baffle plate and clear any soot build up.
Check condition of the firebricks, if these have just have hairline fractures they do not require
replacement. They will need to be replaced if larger cracks develop exposing the appliance body or
the fire brick material begins to crumble.
Using a suitable stove glass cleaner, remove any discolouration from the appliance glass.
Inspection of the rope seal on both the appliance door and the door glass to ensure this has not
deteriorated or moved.
Flue to be swept annually by a competent person, if in doubt contact a professional chimney sweep.
The stove is finished using a high temperature resistant coating which would normally last for many
years. Should the need arise to refinish/refresh your appliance, this can be done using a high
temperature stove paint such as ‘Hotspot’.
If the appliance has not had regular use, the appliance and flue system should be checked to ensure
it is free from blockages prior to use.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on the stove glass as you can damage the specialist coating.
‘Crazing’ in the coating of the glass can take place if incorrect fuels are used, if this occurs replace
the glass.
