INSTALLATION MANUAL
the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance and warn them to use only the
recommended fuel for the stove.
Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer should be warned to
use a fireguard to BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539) in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.
Warning note on fume emission
Properly installed, operated and maintained this appliance 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, the following immediate actions should be
taken:
a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
b) Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.
c) Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required.
Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected. If
necessary seek expert advice.
Extractor fan
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit smoke
and fumes into the room.
Permanent air vent
The stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate safely and efficiently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fitted a permanent air supply vent into the
room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This air vent should not under any circumstances
be shut off or sealed.
Chimney cleaning
The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. It is important that the flue connection and chimney are swept
prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the
chimney will require sweeping after a month of continuous operation. This is a precaution to ensure that any
“softer” deposits left from the open fire usage have not been loosened by the higher flue temperatures generated
by the closed stove.
Periods of Prolonged Non-Use
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.
Use of fireguard
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are present a fireguard must be
used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with BS
8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539).
Use of operating tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when the stove is in use.
Aerosol sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
5.3.2 The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
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 and signed by the Secretary of State or
Minister in the devolved administrations.
The DG Fires Instyles/Prostyles 500/550/600/650/700 have been recommended as suitable for use in smoke
control areas when burning wood.) Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found
here: http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/
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.
