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

2.4Thechimney

Thisproductmustneverconnecttoanysharedchimney.

Anefficientmodernstoveplacesheavydemandsonthechimney,andyoushouldhave
thechimneyregularlysweptandinspectedbyyourapprovedchimneysweep.
Thecross‐sectionalareaofthechimney(atitsnarrowestpoint)mustcomplywith
NationalandLocalBuildingRegulations.Generally,theareaneededforawood‐burning
stoveinstallationshouldmeasureatleast113cm
2
(125mmdiameter).
Anover‐sizedchimneyisgenerallyhardtokeepwarmandresultsinpoordraft.Incases
wherethereisanoversizedmasonrychimney,itisrecommendedthatthechimneybe
linedusinganappropriatechimneyliningsystemwiththecorrectinternaldiameter.
Withrespecttothechimneytermination,allchimneysshouldterminateinaccordance
withnationalandLocalBuildingRegulations.
NotethatNationalandLocalRegulationsalsoapplywithregardtotheplacementof
chimneysandfluesinconnectionwiththatchedroofs.
Thechimneyorfluesystemmustbeequippedwithaccessdoorsforinspectionand
cleaning.Thesizeofthecleaningdoorinthechimneymustatleastequaltothatofthe
cross‐sectionalareaofthechimney.Intheeventthatachimneyfireoccursresulting
fromfaultyoperationorprolongeduseofdampwoodfuel,closetheairvents
completelyandcontactyourlocalfiredepartmentimmediately.

2.5Pipeconnections
Thestovemustbeinstalledwitha125mmdiameterfluepipe.Thismustbeanapproved
thickness.Theflueoutletforthisproductisinsidetheburnchamberduring
transportation.Youcanchoosebetweenatoporrearoutletforthefluepipe.
Fluepipesareplaceddirectlyontotheproductflueoutlet.Therearethreelipsonthe
fluecollarTheseareusedtofastenthefluecollarintothebodyofthestovebytwisting
clockwiseseeFigure3.Theunusedoutletmustbesealedwiththeplateandscrewed

2.6Connectingtoamasonrychimney

Awallsleeveshouldbebrickedsecurelyintothewallofthechimneyattheappropriate
heightandthestovepipeinsertedcentrally.Thepipemustnotextendintotheactual
chimneyopening,butrathermustreachonlytotheinsideofthechimneyaperture.The
gapbetweenthestovepipeandsleevemustbesealedusingglassfibrepackingrope.


2.7Connectingtoasteelchimney

Ifyourinstallationinvolvestakingthechimneystraightupandthroughtheceiling,you
mustcomplywithNational,LocalBuildingRegulationsorfluemanufacturer’s
instructionsconcerningclearancestocombustiblematerialssuchaswalls,floorjoists
andceilings.Thejointbetweenthestovefluecollarandthestovepipemustalsobe
sealedusingtheglassfibreropeprovided.

Itisimportantthattheinsulatedfluesystemisproperlysupportedbothatceilinglevel
andatrooflevel.THESTOVEMUSTNOTBEARTHEWEIGHTOFTHECHIMNEYSYSTEM
(Seechimneymanufacturer’sinstructions).Excessiveweightonthestovewillinhibit
expansionandcouldleadtodamageofthestovetop.

Intheeventthatachimneyfireoccursresultingfromfaultyoperationorprolonged
useofdampwoodfuel,closetheairventscompletelyandcontactyourlocalfire

CAUTION:

Cleaningprocedure:
Discussthiswithchimneysweeporqualifiedinstallerpriortoorduringthestove
installation.

Chimneydraft:
Ifthechimneydraftisnaturallypooritisbettertoinstallthefluefromthetopofthe
stovesoastominimiseanyinternalresistanceofthefluegases.Avoidhavinganymore
than2bendsinthefluesystemandlimitthelengthoftheoffsetbetweenbends.

Freshairsupply:
Awood‐burningstoverequiresairforcombustionandthereforeyoumayneedtoinstall
additionalventilationtotheroom(ATTENTION:don’tuseanyextractorfansorany
similardeviceinthesameroomwiththisproduct.Itcouldmakethedrafttooweak),
especiallysoinwellinsulatedhouses.

Iftheairsupplyisinadequatethechimneydraftmaybetooweak,withthepossible
resultthatthestovewillnotburnproperly;smokespillagemayalsooccurduringthe
refuelingprocess.Onapositivenote,aproperlyinstalledwood‐burnerwillgiveeventhe
mostefficienthousesapleasantandnaturalventilation.



2.8Draftconditions

Ifsmokespillageoccurswhenthefiredoorisopened,itisprobablyduetopoorchimney
draft.Thistypeofstoverequiresatleast12paofchimneydrafttoachievesatisfactory
combustionandsmokespillageprevention.However,incaseswherethestovedooris
openedtoovigorouslyyoucouldexpectthatslightsmokespillagemayoccur.Ifyouhave
anydoubts,youmaywanttohaveyourinstallermeasurethedraftinthechimney.

Draftconditions
Thechimney’sdraftistheresultingeffectwithinthefluecausedbythedifferencein
temperaturewithintheflueandthecoolertemperatureoutside.Otherfactorsthatcan
influencethelevelofdraftincludethelengthoftheflue,insulationofthechimney,
adverseweatherconditionsortallbuildingsortreesnearbytheflueterminal.

Poordraftoccurswhen:
Theatmospherictemperaturedifferenceistoolow,e.g.apoorlyinsulated
chimney.Ifthechimneyisexcessivelycool,itmayhelpto‘prime’thefluebefore
thefireislit.Justplaceascrewed‐upsheetofnewspaperinthefluewaysofthe
stoveandignite.


Page11
EGTL03AVersion1.4(21/12/2012)
Theoutsidetemperatureistoohigh,e.g.duringthesummermonths.
Thereisnoairmovement(wind)outside.
Thechimneyisnottallenough,withtheresultthattheterminalsitsintheleeof
theroofsurfaceorinthevicinityoftalltreesorneighbouringbuildings.These
conditionsarealsoassociatedwithdowndraftwherethefluegasesarepushed
backdownthechimney.
Fluedraftisdilutedbyresidualairenteringthechimney,e.g.duetoinadequate
fluepipejointsorleaksatthecleaningdoororfluecollar.
Unsealed,unusedfireplacesareconnectedtothechimney.
Theflueisblocked,e.g.bysoot,duetoinadequatecleaning,loosedebrisoreven
abirdsnest.
Agooddraftisachievedwhen:
Thetemperaturedifferencebetweenthechimneyandoutsideishigh.Thisalso
appliesduringfiring,whentheneedisgreatest.
Theweatherisclearandthereisagoodwind.
Thechimneyisoftheproperheight,i.e.minimum4metersoverthestoveand
theterminationadequatelyclearoftheroofline.

3.1Choiceoffuel

Recommendedfuel:
Wood‐Usehardwoodlogs.

Althoughyoucanfirethisproductwithalmostallkindsofwood,youshouldnotfire
withwetwood,orunseasonedwood.Woodoughttobestoredunderaroofforatleast
1year,andpreferably2years,withfreeaccesstowind.Woodshouldbechoppedas
soonaspossibleafterfellingifitistodryquickly.Thewoodcanbeusedoncethe
moisturecontentislessthan20%.DuringtheENtest,allstovesaretestedwithwood
withamoisturecontentof(16±4)%.

‐Hardwoodhasahighercalorificvalue.(oak,ash,maple,birch,elm,beech,etc.).‐Pieces
ofwoodwithadiametergreaterthan10cmshouldalwaysbechopped.Thepiecesof
woodshouldbeshortenoughtobeabletolieflatoverthelayerofembers,withairat
bothends.Themaximumlengthoffuelinthestovemustbenomorethan30cm.

Recommendedfuel:
CoalSmokelessfuels,includingCoaliteNuts,AnthraciteBriquettes(Phurnacite,Ancit)
andExtracite.
Notrecommendedasfuel:
“greenwood”.Greenordampwoodreducesstoveefficiencyandsoilstheglass,the
internalwallsandtheflue(soot,tar,etc.).
“usedtimbers”.Burningtreatedwood(railwaysleepers,telegraphpoles,offcutsof
plywoodorchipboard,pallets,etc.)quicklyclogstheflueways(soot,tar,etc.),pollutes
theenvironment(pollutionandsmell,etc.)andcausethefiretoburntooquicklyand
overheat.“Greenwood”and“recoveredwood”caneventuallycauseachimneyfire.
Prohibitedfuel:
Plasticbagsandanyformofbituminouscoalorpetroleumbasedcoke.Thismayharm
theproductandpollutetheatmosphere.



AirControl:(Figure4)
Theamountofheatemittedbythestoveisregulatedusingthreeaircontrols.The
primaryairsupply,whereairpassesupthroughtheriddlinggrate,iscontrolledusingthe
aircontrolsituatedinthelowerdoor,andthesecondaryair(airwashsystem),whichis
suppliedtothecombustionovertheglass,iscontrolledusingtheupperaircontrol.A
thirdairinlet(normallynamedsecondaryair)providesaconstant,pre‐heatedairsupply
tothecombustionjustabovethefire,iscontrolledusingtheaircontrolbelowashlip.
Thisairsupplynormallydoesnotneedtoberegulated.It’snecessarytokeepthisair
supplyalwaysopen.


VeryImportant:Woodisamaterialthatcontainsagreatdealofgas(approximately75
%).Thegasesarereleasedwhenthewoodislitandheatedup.Forthisreason,itis
importantthatthegasesareignitedquicklyafterstoking.Ifthewoodjustlies
smouldering,especiallyafterre‐stoking,alotofsmokeiscreated,which,intheworst
case,maycauseanexplosiveignitionofthegasses,resultingindamagetothestove.

Inordertoignitethegasesthatarereleasedfromthewood,andtokeepclear,lasting
flamesduringthecombustionprocess,itisimportanttoletintherequiredquantityof
oxygen(airsupply)atalltimes.Thesettingoftheairsupply,themethodofignitionand
thelightingintervalsdependonthedraughtinthechimney,thewindandweather,the
amountofheatrequired,thefuel,etc.Thismeansthatitmaytakesometimebefore
yougettoknowthecorrectfunctioningofthestoveunderanygivencircumstances


Ifthereisinsufficientburningmaterialinthefirebed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


VeryImportant:Thestovedoorshouldneverbeopenedwhenthestoveisbeing
firedvigorously.

Wewouldstronglyrecommendthatyoudonotleaveyourstovealitatnight.Itharms
theenvironmentandconstitutesverypooruseofthewood,asthegasesinthewood
donotigniteatthelowtemperature,butsettleassoot(unburnedgases)inthe
chimneyandstove.Extremeconditions,suchaspoordraughtinthechimney,large
quantitiesofwoodorwetwoodmay,intheworst‐casescenario,causeanexplosive
ignition.

Whenfiringinthesummerperiod,whenthereisminimalneedforheat,the
combustionwillbepoor.Thestoveprovidestoomuchheat,sothecombustionshould
bereduced.Butalwaysremembertomakesurethattherearelastingflamesuntilthe
woodbecomescharcoal.Ifyouwantaweakerfire,stokeupusinglesswood.



EGTL03AVersion1.4(21/12/2012)

Ifyoufirethestoveusingwetwood,alotofthefuel’sthermalenergywillbespent
forcingthewateroutofthewood,withoutreleasinganyheattothestove.This
incompletecombustionresultsinalayerofsootbeingleftinthestove,pipeand

3.2.3Ashremoval
Itisessentialtokeepthegratefreefromaheavybuildupofashes.Thisproductis
equippedwithagrateriddlingdevicewhichisusedto“shake”ashesoffthegrateinto
theashpan.Wheneverthestoveisburninglifelesslyandthelowercontrolisopen,use
theriddlinglevertoclearthegrateofsurplusashes.Ifburningsolidfuel,alwaysempty
theashpanatleastonceadayorwheneveritisfullofashes.Neverallowtheashpanto
overfillallowingashtobeincontactwiththeundersideofthegrate.Ifthisconditionis
allowed,thegratewillwearoutpre‐maturely.


3.31Cleaningglass
Thisproductisequippedwithanairwashfortheglass.Airissuckedinthroughtheair
ventabovethefireplaceanddownalongtheinsideoftheglass.However,somesootwill
alwayssticktotheglass,butthequantitywilldependonthelocaldraughtconditions
andadjustmentoftheairwashvent.Mostofthesootlayerwillnormallybeburnedoff
whentheairwashventisopenedallthewayandafireisburningbrisklyinthefireplace.
Goodadvice!Fornormalcleaning,moistenapapertowelwithwarmwaterandadd
someashfromtheburnchamber.Rubitovertheglassandthencleantheglasswith
cleanwater.Drywell.Ifitisnecessarytocleantheglassmorethoroughlywe
recommendusingaglasscleaner(followtheinstructionsonthebottle).


3.3.2Externalsurfacecleaning

Thecastsurfaceofthestoveispaintedwithheat‐resistantpaint.Itisbestmaintainedby
simplyvacuumingitwithasoftbrushattachmentorwipingitdownwithadry,dust‐free
cloth.Ifthestoveisusedtoovigorously,thepaintedsurfacemayassumeagreyishtinge
overtime,butthestovecaneasilybefreshenedupwithspraypaint,whichisavailable
fromyourlocalretailer.


3.3.3Gaskets

Thegasketsinthedoorwillwearoutovertime,andshouldbereplacedasrequiredin
ordertopreventrunawaycombustion.
