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 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.
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 Mazona Glencara/ Ripley 4kW, 5kW and 8kW must be fitted with a
mechanical stop to prevent closure of the secondary air controls beyond
6mm open, 6mm open and 10mm open retrospectively.
The Mazona Glencara/ Ripley 4kW, 5kW and 8kW stoves have been
recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas.

1)INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
APPLIANCE LOCATION
The appliance must be located at specific distances from its surroundings.
This is to prevent damage to products & furnishings within the vicinity of the
appliance. Adequate space should be provided for servicing the appliance.
We recommend furnishings be always kept 1m away, to avoid heat
degradation over time. There must be a minimum clearance of 150mm each
side & back of the appliance, with 300mm clearance above and in front of the
appliance, to provide sufficient space for heat to dissipate to room space. See
below for suggested distance to combustible materials.

VENTILATION
Your stove requires ventilation to supply it with air for combustion.
Ventilation is also required to ensure the proper operation of flues and
chimneys to ensure that the products of combustion are safely dispersed to
the outside air. Please ensure the stove has sufficient ventilation for
operation.

Page 6of 24
Extraction fans lower the pressure in a building which can cause spillage of
combustion products from an open-flued appliance. This can occur even if
the appliance and the fan are in different rooms. If mechanical extraction is
unavoidable in the same room as your stove, then seek specialist advice to
ensure safe operation of the appliance.
A competent installer should be aware of specific ventilation parameters.
Building control guidance for heat producing appliance ventilation can be
found at: https://www.hetas.co.uk/19223/ .
For local building regulations, please see page 4.
FLUE / CHIMNEY
It is important that the flue or chimney to which this appliance is to be
connected has been checked by a competent person to ensure its suitability
and that it will work safely. The chimney or flue and installation should
comply with local and national building regulations.
Sufficient operating draft is required for the product to function optimally.
The following considerations should be considered to ensure safe operation
of the appliance.
The flue must be:
•Suitable for use with solid fuel burning appliances (Min. rating of
T400).
•In good condition and provide a draft of 10-20 Pa.
•Free from any internal obstructions.
•At least 4.5 metres from the top of the stove outlet to the top of the
chimney.
•Independent from a shared flue system of any type.
•Larger or equal in diameter than the appliance flue collar size.

Page 7of 24
Provision should be made to ensure the chimney can be swept in the entirety
of its length. For local building regulations, please see page 4.
If using single wall flue, please ensure there is a clearance of at least 3 times
the diameter of the flue pipe from any combustible material (e.g. 150mm
pipe = 450mm minimum clearance to wooden beam).
HEARTH CONSTRUCTION
Hearths should be constructed of suitably robust materials and to
appropriate dimensions such that, in normal use, they prevent combustion
appliances setting fire to the building fabric and furnishings and they limit the
risk of people being accidently burnt.
The hearth should be able to support the weight of the stove and its chimney
if the chimney is not independently supported.
For local building regulations, please see page 4.

2)OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Lighting the stove
1. Open the door and ensure the secondary/ air-wash control lever is
opened fully. It’s the control on the right.
2. On first lighting, we recommend using 2 - 3 firelighters along with
wood kindling built in a pyramid above the firelighters to obtain a
good fire bed. Ignite the firelighters then close the stove door and
allow the firelighters and wood kindling to ignite to the point where
the embers are glowing.
3. Add your fuel of choice and control the stove as advised. Burn small
loads initially in your new appliance before full fires are used, to
allow paint & fitting cement to cure.
Controlling Stove
Burning wood:
•Air-wash/secondary air lever (The control to the right) - Use this to
control the fire when burning wood.
•Primary air control lever (The control to the left) –This should be
closed as wood does not need air from below to burn effectively.
•Avoid overloading your appliance as this may cause damage to the
product and cause unstable burn conditions. See max fuel load stated
in ‘Refuelling Wood’ section for more info.

Page 9of 24
Burning coal:
•The Air-wash/secondary air lever (The control to the right) –This
should be left partially open, to allow the air-wash system to keep
the glass clean.
•Primary air control lever (The control to the left) - When burning coal,
the stove should be mainly controlled using this lever.
•Avoid prolonged periods of slow burning which may cause build-up
of creosote with certain fuels. Using a flue temperature gauge can
help achieve the optimum temperature for clean combustion. See
bottom of page 17 for optimum flue temperature for the relevant
fuels.
Recommended Fuels
•Split and dried logs properly seasoned with less than 20% moisture
content (max fuel load on page 10 should not be exceeded).
•Anthracite (Medium) smokeless fuel.
•Eco Logs.
•Briquettes.
Note that only Authorised fuels can be used in a Smoke Control
Area, details of Authorised fuels can be found at
https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels.php
Fuel to Avoid
Use of incorrect fuels can invalidate the warranty of your appliance:
•Petroleum Coke.
•Household waste.
•Wood with a moisture content above 20%.

Page 10 of 24
•Household coal or bituminous coal.
•Waste timber that has been painted or treated e.g., outdoor fencing.
Refuelling Wood
1. Refuel when a layer of hot embers has been formed in the fire bed.
2. Spread the embers over the fire bed with the ash-pan tool.
3. While the embers are still glowing, add 1 or 2 logs to the fire.
4. Open the right air control fully to ignite the new fuel.
5. Once the new logs have ignited, adjust the right air control to give
the desired combustion. If there are too few embers, use suitable
kindling prior to the fuel load to prevent excessive smoke.
Refuelling Coal
1. De-ash the fire bed using the riddle control on the left of the stove.
2. Fully open the left/ primary air control.
3. Open door, add coal, close door.
4. Adjust the primary air control to give the desired combustion.
Refuelling on a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light the new fuel,
excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a
sufficient quantity of glowing embers, so the new fuel will ignite in a
reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable
kindling to prevent excessive smoke.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
WARNING: When properly installed and operated this appliance should only emit
fumes during fuelling and de-ashing. The stove is designed to be operated only with
the doors shut. To prevent fume spillage only open the doors for ignition, refuelling
and cleaning. Persistent fume emission is dangerous and in certain circumstances
could be fatal. It should not be tolerated. If you experience heavy or persistent fume
emission, follow the procedure below:
1. Open all windows or doors to ventilate the area.
2. Extinguish the fire and if safe to do so, remove fuel from the appliance.
3. Check for blockages in the appliance and clear if possible. Particular
attention should be paid to the baffle plate which should be inspected for
any accumulated soot and products of combustion regularly. If excessive
amounts are present, the baffle plate needs removed and cleaned.
4. Have the chimney checked by a professional person for any sign of blockage.
5. Do not attempt to relight the appliance until the source of the blockage has
been determined and cleared.
6. Seek professional opinion on the cause of the blockage if in any doubt.
You may also detect a smell from the appliance on initial lighting while the paint
cures. Stove paint must be cured on the surface of an appliance. During the first few
hours of burning, there will be some fumes / smoke as the paint cures. When the
body of the appliance is properly heated, it usually takes about an hour or so after
that to bake / cure the paint. It is recommended to ventilate the room well by
opening windows / doors during this time and where possible, leave the room.
In the event of a chimney fire, immediately close the door and move the air wash to
the closed position. Call for assistance from fire service. A chimney fire can cause
significant damage to the chimney construction and must be assessed by a
professional before relighting your appliance.
Never burn plastics, household waste or liquids in your stove.

4)MAINTENANCE
De-ashing
The appliance should be de-ashed at least once every 24 hours depending on
fuel type and heating load. With the door closed, use the riddling lever on the
left side to filter the ash through the grate and into the ash pan below for
removal. It is important that the level of ash in the ash pan is not allowed to
build up to where it is touching the bottom grate. This will cause the grate to
burn out prematurely.
Baffle plate
Particular attention should be paid to the baffle plate(s), which should be
regularly inspected for any accumulated soot and products of combustion. If
a medium to excessive amount is present, the baffle(s) needs removed and
cleaned.
Glass Cleaning
We recommend that the glass should be allowed to cool, then cleaned using
a damp cloth. Abrasive cleaners should be avoided, as they tend to scrape
the glass making it more and more difficult to keep clean. Use of a stove glass
cleaner (available from your retailer) is recommended for stubborn stains.
Door
Check that the seal around the door is airtight. Replace rope seal if necessary.

Page 16 of 24
Paintwork
If paintwork needs repaired, contact your retailer directly. The paint used on
your product is specialised high temperature resistant paint and ordinary
paint will not suffice. Never perform any paint repair when unit is hot.
Flue / Chimney cleaning
Please ensure the flue is swept as instructed. Blockages or build-ups within
the flue can cause loss of performance, damage to the product and harm to
the surroundings and users. Depending on the fuel source, it’s recommended
that the stove is cleaned:
•Anthracite –Clean at least once a year.
•Wood –Clean before and after the heating season. If used
excessively, clean during the heating season as well.
