INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

CB TECHNOLOGY (CLEAN BURNING)

The stove is equipped with CB technology. In order to ensure optimal combustion of gases released during the combus-
tion process, air passes through a specially developed system of channels. The heated air is conducted into the combus-
tion chamber through the holes in the rear lining of the combustion chamber and at the baffle plates. This airflow is driven
by the combustion rate and cannot be regulated.

PRIMARY AIR

The primary air regulation mechanism is used to lighting the fire, or to boost the burning process when you put wood on.
The primary air can be used during a continuous firing with hard wood like oak and beech. If you use softer wood types like
birch and pine, the primary air can stay closed.

SECONDARY AIR

Secondary air is pre-heated and fed indirectly to the fire. At the same time, the secondary airflow cleans the glass pane
to prevent build-up of soot. If you over-restrict the secondary airflow, soot can build up on the glass pane. The secondary
airflow determines the heat output from your stove.

BAFFLE PLATES

The baffle plates are located in the upper part of the combustion chamber. The plates hold back smoke, making sure it
stays inside the combustion chamber for a longer time before escaping through the chimney. This reduces the flue gas
temperature as the gases have more time to dissipate heat to the stove. The baffle plates must be removed for sweeping;
see "Maintaining your wood-burning stove".
NOTE THAT THE BAFFLE PLATES ARE MADE OF POROUS, CERAMIC MATERIAL, AND ARE LIABLE TO BREAK EASILY. YOU
SHOULD THEREFORE HANDLE THEM WITH CARE. THE BAFFLE PLATES ARE SUBJECT TO WEAR AND TEAR AND NOT COV-
ERED BY THE WARRANTY.

ASH CONTAINER

¬ Open the door of the stove to access the ash container under the combustion chamber.
¬ The ash container must always be closed during operation.
¬ The ash container must not be overfilled and must therefore be emptied at regular intervals.

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 desig-
nated 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 the Act to authorize 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
"authorized" in Regulations and that appliances used to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than "authorized" fuels) have
been exempted by an Order made and signed by the Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations.
¬ 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"
¬ The secondary air valve has been modified, so that is does not close completely but has an opening corresponding to
the position used at the lowest emission test.
¬ You can use any type of wood as fuel.
¬ This stove has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning wood.
