This quality product will provide you with many years of enjoyment due to the fl ame effect and warmth that it provides. This appliance is exempted or recommended for exemption under section 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 and can be used in accordance with the intended use as described in this manual in smoke control areas in the UK.

  • Page 8: Safety

    Ensure that the room in which the appliance is situated has adequate ventilation. It is essential that the appliance, the fl ue and combustion air supply are cleaned and inspected annually by a Barbas dealer/specialist. The safe operation of the appliance will thus remain guaranteed. Instructions for use...
  • Page 9 UNILUX-6 40 The appliance must never be used with the door open or the door glass removed. Wood and wood briquettes may be stoked in the appliance. Coals can’t be burned in the appliance. Avoid over-loading (white burning glow), caused, for example, by lengthy burning with a fully open primary air vent (combustion air supply slider all the way to “...

  • Page 11: Using The Appliance For The First Time

    UNILUX-6 40 USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME GENERAL Allow your home to dry properly, after you have had your chimney breast modifi ed or newly built. Walls which have not been allowed to dry properly are a magnet for dust such as any smoke particles created when stoking up the appliance or suddenly opening the door.
  • Page 12 UNILUX-6 40 4.3 INSPECTION OF THE APPLIANCE BEFORE FIRST USE Check all available functions before using the appliance for the fi rst time. • Check the opening and closing operation of the door. Turn the handle all the way down: Door is locked.
  • Page 13 UNILUX-6 40 • Check whether the 2 baffl e plates are located correctly in the supports. • Check the operation of the slider for the regulation of the combustion air intake (middle below the window). • Check whether the ashtray is completely empty.

  • Page 14: Use

    UNILUX-6 40 5.1 VENTILATION If wood is to burn, it needs air. For each kilo of wood that you put on the appliance (door closed), 10 - 15 m of extra air is needed. That means about 35 m per hour! Depending on how the appliance has been installed, the combustion air will either be drawn directly from outside or from the living room itself.
  • Page 15 UNILUX-6 40 5.2.2 Burning coal or briquetted smokeless fuels *) Load the appliance with approx. 2 kg of coal or smokeless fuel briquettes, together with a suitable fi restarter (e.g. wood kindlings) and light it with a small fi re starter block and close the door.
  • Page 16 UNILUX-6 40 Control range of primary air supply (by grate) Control range of secondary and tertiary air supply Combustion air supply slider Centre position We recommend that you maintain a substantial layer of ash (2 - 3 cm). This not only forms a protective layer for the base of the appliance but also signifi...
  • Page 17 UNILUX-6 40 Smoke development Your appliance has been designed to be used with the load/observation door closed. Should you use it with the door open, under certain circumstances (presence of mechanical ventilation, draught, differences in barometric pressure) smoke may enter the room in which the appliance is situated.
  • Page 18 UNILUX-6 40 Your appliance is at its most economical when: • Using dry and clean wood (as described further in Chapter 6). • Always ensure even combustion. Stoke with the primary air regulator closed. To do this, place the combustion air supply slider in the centre position.
  • Page 19 UNILUX-6 40 GENERAL HEATING TIPS • Burn dry wood only. Damp wood not only burns poorly, it causes more pollution in the appliance (window), the chimney, your room (when opening the door of the appliance, for instance) and the environment. Wood can only be classifi ed as dry if it has been stored under a Dutch barn for at least two years (not covered with plastic).
  • Page 20 UNILUX-6 40 OUTPUT In practice, combustion is all about loss. This entails: • Loss through excess heat leaving the chimney, rather than going into the room. • Loss through insuffi cient combustion, such as CO (carbon monoxide) and soot particles.

  • Page 21: Fuel

    UNILUX-6 40 FUEL The appliance has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning clean wood logs as stated hereunder. All suitable fuels listed hereunder can be used outside smoke control areas. WOOD Suitable fuels are: •...
  • Page 22 If this happens, there is a risk of fi re. It may also damage your appliance and chimney. BARBAS will not assume liability for damage caused by overheating. Burning one layer of wood can lead to varying outputs. When used correctly, one load will burn in around 45 minutes.

  • Page 23: Maintenance

    * Replace panels as necessary • Grate Check annually for cracks / breakage • Sliders/dampers Check function annually • Paint Check annually, if necessary touch up with BARBAS heat-resistant paint (do not paint when the appliance is in use!) Instructions for use...

  • Page 25: Frequently Asked Questions
