THE CLEAN AIR ACT 1993 AMD 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 "unauthorized 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. Similarly, in Scotland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by Scottish
Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.In Wales and Northern
Ireland these are authorised by regulations made by Welsh Ministers and by the Department of the
Environment respectively. 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. The Nevis Edge 5 has been recommended for burning wood logs in a smoke control
area. The Nevis Edge 5 must be fitted with a permanent stop preventing closure of the secondary
controls beyond 5mm and the tertiary air controls beyond 3mm open.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT INSTALLATION AND USING THE STOVE
All national and local regulations, including those referring to national and European standards, need
to be complied with when installing the stove.
The stove must be installed by a registered installer or approved by your local building control officer.
Only use for domestic heating purposes only.
Burn only approved fuels (Wood or manufactured smokeless fuel). Do not use petroleum based
products or use as an incinerator.
This stove will become very hot whilst in operation and due care should be taken. Thick gloves should
be used to operate the primary/secondary controls or reaching inside the stove to position fuel or
remove ash. Do not place flammable objects on or near the stove.
It is possible to fire the stove beyond its design capacity. This could damage the stove, so watch for
signs of overfiring - if any part of the stove starts to glow red, the stove is in an overfire situation and
the controls should be adjusted accordingly. Never leave the stove unattended for long periods without
first adjusting the controls to a safe setting. Careful air supply control should be exercised at all times.
The stove must NOT be installed into a chimney that serves any other appliance and is suitable for
intermittent burning.
Do not make unauthorised changes or modifications to the stove.
The stove and chimney flue must be regularly cleaned. It is especially important to check for blockages
following a prolonged shutdown period. It is recommended that the stove and flue is regularly
maintained by a competent engineer.

any parts are missing.
• 1 x Stove body
• 1 x Flue Connector c/w Fireproof Gasket
• 1 x Firebox Top Baffle Plate A

INSTALLATION OF THE STOVE
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
For your safety it is very important that your stove is correctly installed. Our Stoves cannot accept any
responsibility for any fault arising through incorrect installation or use.
MATERIAL CLEARANCES
The stove must have a minimum clearance to a combustible below.
Fig 4
It is recommended that the stove be installed at least 600mm from combustible materials. However, any
household furnishings should be at least 1000mm away as they could be adversely affected by heat.
If the stove is to be installed in a non-combustible recess it is recommended that 50mm clearance is left at
the back, sides and top for maintenance and to allow air to circulate around the stove to obtain a reasonable
output. A clearance of 150mm will give a better heat output.
Due to the heat of a hot stove, a suitable fire guard should be used to provide additional protection. Never
allow young children to be left unsupervised in a room containing a hot stove.
FLOOR
National and local building regulations must be complied with when considering the floor or hearth where
the stove is to be installed. The floor must be capable of bearing the weight of the stove and the maximum
hearth temperature measured on testing was 111 deg C on full fire.

Nevis Edge 5 Manual (Ref No: S107)

THE CHIMNEY
The stove is supplied with a flue pipe connector for top or rear mounting with the fixing screws supplied.
The stove should never be connected to a shared chimney/flue system.
The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal should conform to Building Regulations.
Minimum chimney height is 4.5m and the recommended minimum diameter is 125mm. The chimney must
be swept before connection to the stove. Check that the chimney is in good condition, dry and free from
cracks and obstructions. The diameter of the flue should not be less than 125mm (spigot diameter) at any
point and not greater than 200mm.
Flue pipes with a smaller cross-sectional area than that of the stove outlet should never be used. Flue pipes
must not project into the chimney connector, such as to cause a restriction to the gas flow.
Consideration must be given to installing extra access in the flue system to ensure all sections can be
cleaned and maintained.
FUME EMISSIONS
To a void ch i mne y pr oble m s, you r fi r e s houl d no t b e b u rnt sl o wly for lo nger th a n 1 2 h o urs wi t hout a pe r i od
of fast burning.
Properly installed and operated, this stove will not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and
refueling may occur. Persistent fume emission must not be tolerated. If fume emission persists, the following
immediate action should be taken:
1. Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
2. Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the stove.
3. Check for flue chimney blockage and clean if required.
4. Do not attempt to re-light the fire until the cause has been identified and corrected.
5. If necessary, seek professional advise.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THE CONTROLS
The amount of heat emitted by the stove is regulated using the air control built at front of the stove.
using primary air when burning mineral fuel and secondary air when burning wood. The need for de-ashing
the appliance more frequently when burning mineral fuel.
By adjusting the degree to which the primary air and air-wash vents are opened, good control of the
combustion is being established.
The “air-wash” feature when used, should function to effectively keep the inside of the door glass clear of
smokey deposits.
WARNING:
The temperature reached by these items during operation may cause an injury to an end-user.
As these are intended to be adjusted during operation, it is recommended that protective
gloves are wore when handing these parts.
• Push Air Controls to
the right to open.
• Push Air Control to
the left to close.
