The Clean Air Act
“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).
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
theDeregulationAct2015. Similarly in Scotland appliancesare
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.

3.1 Fire Prevention Measures
There is a certain element of danger every time you use
your fireplace. The following instructions must therefore be
followed:
• The minimum safety distances when installing and using
the fireplace are given in fig. 1. The specified distance to
flammable materials, applies to this stove.
• The stove must be installed with a CE approved flue. The
distance of the flue pipe to combustible materials must
also be observed.
• Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials are
not too close to the fireplace. Flammable materials should
not be placed within 900 mm of the fireplace.
• Allow the fire to burn out. Never extinguish the flames with
water.
• The fireplace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns
if touched.
• Only remove ash when the fireplace is cold. Ash can
contain hot embers and should therefore be placed in a
non-flammable container.
• Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place
where it will not present a potential fire hazard.
In case of chimney fire:
• Close all hatches and vents.
• Keep the firebox door closed.
• Check the loft and cellar for smoke.
• Call the fire service.
• Before use after a fire an expert must check the fireplace
and the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.
Steel chimney
If a top-mounted steel chimney is used, fit an uninsulated
pipe from the burn chamber to approx. 10 mm over the top
grate. Make sure that the gasket is properly seated between
the flue pipe and the smoke outlet. Then fit the steel chimney
in accordance with the chimney supplier’s installation
instructions.

We recommend the removal of any flooring that is not attached
to the foundation (“floating floors”) beneath the installation.
Jøtul F 105 SL (with short legs)
Jøtul F 105 SL can only be installed on a constructional
hearth which must have an extension of minimum 500
mm in front of the stove. This applies also if the product
rests on a floor plate. For further information please see
