LANGDALE SMOKE CONTROL
MULTI-FUEL STOVE
INSTALLATION AND USER INSTRUCTIONS
Read these instructions carefully before installation and use.
These instructions should be retained by the user for future reference.
The Langdale Smoke Control stove has a nominal heat output of 7.96kW (wood),
8.09kW(solid fuel) and a weight of 92 kg. The flue gas mass flow is 5.1 g/s for mineral fuel
and 7.31 g/s for wood logs. The mean flue gas temperature directly downstream of the flue
spigot at nominal heat output is 238.97 degrees C (wood), 283.80 degrees C (solid fuel).
The Langdale Smoke Control has been tested as a closed appliance and is capable of
intermittent operation.
CO Alarms:-Building regulations require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid
fuel or wood/biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be
fitted in the same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon
monoxide alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s
instructions.
Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing the appliance
correctly or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney
system.
WARNING
The stove must be installed to comply with Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to British
Standard BS 8303 and to all local Building Regulations, including those referring to
National and European standards. These need to be complied with when installing the
appliance. Ensure that the flue pipe diameter is not less than the 150mm diameter outlet on
the appliance.
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the Langdale Smoke Control.
If there is a possibility of disturbing asbestos during the installation it is necessary to take
the appropriate steps to protect the installer.
Fire cement is caustic and protective gloves should be worn.

LANGDALE SMOKE CONTROL ISSUE 1 07/07/2015
The chimney must be swept and examined for soundness and suitability before the stove is
installed. Remedial action should be taken if required, seeking expert advice if necessary.
Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation, it is
possible that the higher flue gas temperature from a closed appliance may loosen deposits
that were previously firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It is
therefore recommended that the chimney be swept a second time within a month of regular
use after installation.
The CleanAirAct 1993 and Smoke ControlAreas
Under the CleanAir 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).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under theAct
to authorize smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in
England. In Scotland and Wales this power rests with the 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 and signed by the Secretary of State or Minister in the
devolved administrations.
The Langdale Smoke Control have been recommended as suitable for use in smoke
control areas when burning dry seasoned wood logs and approved smokeless fuels.
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.

UNPACK THE STOVE
Carefully cut the straps and lift the box up over the top of the stove. Remove the packing
from round the outside of the stove, leaving the plastic cover on if building work is still in
progress it is important to protect the paint finish from any damage, water, dust or fire
cement. Using a 17mm spanner, remove the two bolts attaching the stove to the pallet, and
then replace the bolts into the stove legs, these are used as levelling bolts if required.
Open the stove door and remove the packaging from inside the stove, there is some behind
the baffle, and the heavy one inside the stove contains the spigot for the flue outlet.
Remove the bag inside the ashpan, this contains the operating tool, instructions and a pair
of stove gloves.
CLEARANCES
The Langdale needs to be sited next to and on a non-combustible surface. A minimum
clearance of 150mm at the sides 300mm above and 75mm from the back of the stove body
will allow air circulation and not impede the performance of the stove.
If it is necessary to site the stove near a combustible surface with the Langdale Smoke
Control a minimum of 200mm at the back and 400mm at the sides must be maintained from
combustible surfaces.
It is a requirement that this appliance is installed on a solid, level, non-combustible hearth
conforming to current Building Regulations. This appliance has been tested for hearth
temperatures and the maximum temperature was 81 degrees C so is also suitable for a
12mm hearth.
INSTALLATION
A minimum flue draught of 24 Pa is required for nominal heat output. The Appliance must
be installed on a floor with an adequate load-bearing capacity. If an existing construction
doesn’t meet the prerequisite, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate) shall be taken
to achieve it. As referred to in document J in the Building Regulations, the Langdale
Smoke Control requires a minimum of 1700 sq mm of fixed ventilation.
Please note where either the external airkit orremote control kit are fitted an air vent
is still required in the same room as the stove to the above specification.
It is important that any inlet grilles are so positioned that they are not liable to blockage. It
is essential that the stove has adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation.
Apertures provided for this purpose shall not be restricted.
Fit the collar on the top of the stove. A flat-bladed screw driver and 8mm spanner will be
required.

LANGDALE SMOKE CONTROL ISSUE 1 07/07/2015
The Langdale Smoke Control requires a Class 1 chimney of its own, a shared chimney will
not be suitable. The chimney must be sound, free from leaks and swept before
installation. If the chimney requires lining, a lining must be used which is suitable for wood
and solid fuel, with a minimum of 150mm internal diameter. A metre of flue pipe should
be used from the stove before the chimney lining, and the lining must be installed to
manufacturers’instructions. Alternatively if there is no chimney then an insulated
stainless steel flue may be used to BS EN 15287-1:2007 + A1:2010 with a minimum of
150mm internal diameter, and must be installed to manufacturers’instructions and to
relevant Building Regulations.
The length of the chimney or flue must be at least 4.5metres from the top of the stove, and
must finish in a down draught free area. Astove must not be installed into a room where
there is an extractor fan - fumes could be pulled down the chimney.
It is essential to provide a facility for sweeping the chimney, and this may be done by
installing a soot door in the brickwork or providing an access plate in the register plate or
flue pipe. The flue is fitted from the top of the stove and the baffle can be removed to sweep
up through the stove.
To connect the flue pipe to an existing chimney, a register plate is required, preferably
made of metal. Acollar is welded to the underside of the register plate so that the flue pipe
can be placed into the spigot on top of the stove and round the outside of the collar on the
register plate, so forming a ‘funnel’ effect. In this way, any moisture running down the
chimneywill be directed back into the stove insteadof seeping out onto thetop of the stove.
Connect the stove to the chimney using vitreous enameled flue pipe, from the top of the
stove. Make sure that all joints and connections are well sealed.
TO INSTALL EXTERNALAIR SUPPLY WITH REMOTE CONTROL
WARNING –DO NOT FIT ANYOFTHE BATTERIES UNTILINSTALLATION IS
COMPLETE
Put one of the jubilee clips provided over the flexi vent pipe. Push the vent pipe onto the
rear air outlet on the stove and tighten the jubilee clip. Drill a 100mm hole through the wall
with a core drill and push the vent pipe through the wall.
Take the cover off the stainless steel air intake box by undoing the two rear screws at either
side. Feed the 1.5m braided lead through the wall into the stove position. Connect the flexi
air intake pipe to the back of the stove using the clip provided. Feed the flexi pipe through
the wall, gently pushing the stove into place and connect the outside air vent onto the metal
tube connected to the back plate. Wrap the 13mm ceramic rope provided round the pipe and
place silicone sealer round the outside of the back plate. Screw the back plate to the wall
and replace the cover.
Connect the receiver box to the cable near the stove, insert 4 x AA batteries.

LANGDALE SMOKE CONTROL ISSUE 1 07/07/2015
Place the 9v battery into the handset.
To open the air vent press the smallest button on the handset at the same time as the button
next to the arrow pointing upwards. To close the air vent, just press the button next to the
arrow pointing downwards.
TO INSTALL EXTERNALAIR SUPPLY
Put one jubilee clip over the flexi vent pipe. Push the vent pipe onto the rear air outlet on
the stove and tighten the jubilee clip. Drill a 100mmhole through the wall with a core drill
and push the vent pipe through the wall, cutting to correct length. Put the second jubilee
clip round the vent pipe then fasten to louvre grill. Back fill round the outside of the vent
pipe with insulating material to prevent draught getting into the house. Then fasten the
louvre grill onto the wall.
When installation is complete, allow a suitable time for fire cement and mortar to dry, light
a fire and make sure all joints are sealed. The stove is painted with a high temperature paint
finish. The paint will be cured when most surfaces have reached about 246 degrees C.
During this burn off period you will notice an unpleasant smell; you should not touch or
wipe the paint during this period as it will be soft and may mark. The room should be well
ventilated, children and pets should be kept away. Do not use water to clean the stove,
either before or after it is cured.
TURBO BURNER
There is a Turbo Burner which brings air in allowing plenty of oxygen into the rear and top
of the stove, thus burning off gases which normally do not ignite. This gives the stove more
efficiency and better combustion, less pollution. The turbo burner is built in and needs no
adjustment.
LIGHTING THE STOVE
When ready to light the stove for the first time, make sure that everything is removed from
the ashpan, and then open the lever under the door to the left, this is operated by hand with
a glove or by foot. Then slide the air inlet on the right hand side of the stove towards the
front to let air in under the grate, this is meant for cold start or to be used when refueling.
First burn some newspaper in the stove, with the door closed, to warm the flue, as there
may be down draught initially. The temperature in the flue has to be increased to changethe
down draught to up draught. If down draught persists, try burning a blow torch in the stove,
facing the flue for a minute or two. If there is a soot door fitted, try warming the flue
through the soot door. If this does not work, call in your installer. If the stove has not been

LANGDALE SMOKE CONTROL ISSUE 1 07/07/2015
lit for a while, the chimney should be checked for blockages before lighting.
When ready to light the stove, put a small piece of fire lighter, about 25mm square is big
enough, and then add small sticks, taking care not to smother the flames. When the sticks
are well alight add small logs, gradually increasing the size. Once the fire is well
established and hot the bottom air slide can be closed. When burning solid fuel, it may be
necessary to leave the bottom air vent slightly open.
The appliance will give more heat output with increased air supply, so the controls can be
adjusted to increase or decrease the burning rate of the fuel, as desired.
This appliance is hot whilst in operation.
Keep children and furniture a safe distance away.
In the presence of children, elderly or infirm people a fireguard should be used. The
fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002 –Fireguards for use
with solid fuel appliances.
User warning - parts become very hot while the stove is running so should not be touched
with bare hands. The special operating tool and a pair of gloves are provided for operation
of the hot stove.
To close the stove down,
The appliance is designed to operate efficiently with the fire door closed. The door
should be kept closed at all times, except when refueling or removing ashes.
The appliance is designed to operate efficiently with the fire door closed door. The door
should be kept closed at all times, except when refueling or removing ashes. Operation
with the stove door open can cause excessive smoke. The appliance must not be operated
with the stove door left open.
TO RE-FUELTHE STOVE
Do not over fill the firebox the maximum filling height is 100mm. Before opening the
door to re-fuel, open the primary air at the bottom right hand side. Slide the left hand lever
to the right to close the external air. This stops air coming from outside and pushing smoke
into the room. Add the fuel and close the door. Then open the left hand lever, leaving the
right hand lever open for 2 to 3 minutes. Then close the right hand lever and use the left
hand lever to adjust to suit required heat.
Refueling 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. Refueling 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
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.

LANGDALE SMOKE CONTROL ISSUE 1 07/07/2015
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.
FUELS
This appliance has been tested using seasoned wood logs and manufactured briquetted
smokeless fuel (Ancit) for closed appliances, sized between 20g and 140g. Other fuels are
commercially available and may give similar results. Do not use household coal. It is a
good idea to try small quantities of different fuels until you find one that suits your
chimney. Petrocoke or any petroleum based fuel such as Cozycoke, Excell & Burnwell
must NOT be used, they burn excessively hot and will destroy parts of the stove in a very
short time. If using logs, the logs need to be dry, seasoned logs, ie. No more than 20%
moisture content, maximum log length up to 400 mm x 100 mm diameter. Small pieces of
kiln dried timber can burn very hot, take care that the fire does not get out of control. The
stove is designed to burn wood or solid fuel.
WARNING –USING A NON APPROVED FUEL MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
STOVE AND WILL NOT BE COVERED BY OUR GUARANTEE. WOOD NEEDS TO
BE DRYAND SEASONED (MAXIMUM 20% MOISTURE CONTENT)
DO NOT BURN ANY LIQUID FUEL. DO NOT BURN WOOD PELLETS.DO NOT
BURN WOOD CHIPS. DO NOT BURN ANY RUBBISH ON THE STOVE. DO NOT
USE HOUSEHOLD COAL, HIGH PETROLEUM BASED FUELS, PETROCOKE,
COSY COKE, EXCEL, PUREHEAT, NEWHEAT, BURNWELL OR ANTHRACITE. (A
COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF APPROVED FUELS FOR CLOSEDAPPLIANCES IS
AVAILABLE ON THE HETAS WEBSITE)
Suitable manufactured smokeless fuels approved by Hetas for use in closed stoves include
Homefire Ovals, Phurnacite, Taybrite, Multiheat,Ancit, Briteheat and Ecoal 50.
TO OPERATE THE REMOTE CONTROL OPTION –IF FITTED
If the Remote Control option is installed on your stove –the remote controls the
secondry air intake on the Langdale Smoke Control and is operated by 4 x AA
batteries in the control box and a 9V battery in the handset (batteries included).
No mains electrity supply is required. To operate the remote control, the air
lever at the front of the stove must be in the open position (slide the lever to the
left).
Press and hold down the small button on the left of the hand set together with
the button next to the up arrow –this will open the air intake at the rear of the
stove. To close the air intake press the bottom button next to the down arrow.

LANGDALE SMOKE CONTROL ISSUE 1 07/07/2015
CLEANING THE STOVE AND FLUE
It is important to remove the ashes regularly, if the ash builds up through the grate, the grate
could overheat and distort.
Open the fire door with the stove glove provided and, using the tool, gently pull out the
ashpan a little way. Then remove the tool and slot it in from the top of the slot in the
middle of the ashpan. The tool will then have a firm grip on the ashpan . Carefully carry
the ashes out to dispose of them, or use a ‘Tippy’ or similar ash carrier.
When the stove is being used regularly, it will be necessary to remove the baffle oncea year
to clean any debris that may have collected there. The chimney/flue should be swept and
checked every year. The glass on the stove door can be cleaned (better when the glass is
cool), using a damp cloth, or sponge pan scrubber for any stubborn marks. Stove glass
cleaner may be used if required.
The body of the stove can be brushed with a soft brush, do not use water on the paint work.
If, in time, the body of the stove needs touching up, a touch-up aerosol of paint, the same as
originally used in the factory can be obtained from you supplier.
Warning –do not use an aerosol spray near the stove when the stove is alight.
This appliance should be regularly maintained by a competent service engineer.
There must be no unauthorised modification of the appliance.
Any replacement parts must be recommended by the Manufacturer and can be purchased
from the approved dealer the stove was originally purchased from.
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a
thorough clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air
through the appliance to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air
controls fully open.
It is important that the flue connection, any appliance baffles or throat plates and the
chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. The stove is not burning well.
The stove may need more fuel loading - load more fuel, see ‘lighting the stove’
The wood may be un-seasoned or damp - avoid using unsuitable wood, burn smokeless
fuel until the wood is dry and seasoned.
The chimney may need sweeping, or there may be a build up of debris above the baffle -
see ‘Cleaning the Stove and Flue’
The fuel may be too hard, e.g. some anthracites and cokes require a lot of draught to

LANGDALE SMOKE CONTROL ISSUE 1 07/07/2015
maintain a high burning temperature, so try a solid fuel that burns at a lower temperature.
There may not be the required flue draught in the chimney/flue. In this case a longer
chimney pot may help, or there may be a blockage in the flue.
2. Smoke is coming into the room.
There may be down draught conditions, see paragraph 1 of ‘Lighting the Stove’. If it is not
possible to stop the down draught by warming the flue as described, it is advisable to leave
the stove unlit and test conditions later.
3. The stove is burning too hot.
Make sure the stove door is closed properly, and check that all air vents are closed.
Check the rope seal on the door. If this needs replacing, ceramic rope and heatproof
adhesive can be obtained from your supplier.
4. Smoke is being emitted from the chimney.
Check that the fuel being used is as described and that the operation of this manual is being
followed. If smoke is being emitted whilst refueling onto a low firebed then kindling
should be used.
IN CASE OFA CHIMNEY FIRE –
CLOSE ALLAIR VENTS IF POSSIBLE.
MAKE SURE THERE IS NOTHING COMBUSTIBLE NEAR THE STOVE.
MOVE PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE ROOM.
CLOSE THE ROOM DOOR
PHONE THE FIRE BRIGADE.
WARNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the
dwelling. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent
fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does
persist, then the following immediate action should be taken:-
(a)Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave the premises.
(b)Let the fire go out.
(c)Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required.
(d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been
identified and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.

LANGDALE SMOKE CONTROL ISSUE 1 07/07/2015
The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney blockage. For your own
safety these must be kept clean at all times.
COMMISSIONINGAND HANDOVER INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure all parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and
mortar to dry out, before lighting the stove.
Once the stove is under fire check all seals for soundness and check that the flue is
functioning correctly and that all products of combustion are vented safely to atmosphere
via the chimney terminal.
On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions
for the stove are left with the customer.
Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance and operating tools and
warn them to use only the recommended fuel for the stoves.
Advise the user what to do should smoke of fumes be emitted from the stove.
The customer should be warned to use a fireguard to BS8423:2002 in the presence of
