(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 “Ekol Clarity 5, 8, 12 Vision and Double Sided” has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning seasoned wood.
STOVE CONTROLS Your stove has three sets of air inlet areas- The upper vent above the door provides air supply for the air-wash system and allows air into the higher areas of the fire box – this is called the Secondary Air – when this vent is open, the door glass is kept clean by high speed air rushing downwards across the inside of the glass.
TOOLS The glove is provided for adjusting the air inlets and for opening the door when the stove is hot, as these knobs will heat up when in use. NOTE – all parts of the stove will become hot during use and care needs to be taken to avoid injury through burning.

Refuelling • Open the Primary air vents. • Add up to 1.4kg (Clarity 5) or 2.5kg (Clarity 8) or 3.8kg (Clarity 12) 1.4kg (Clarity Vision) or 3kg (Double Sided) of wood. • After about 2-3 minutes or when flames from the fresh fuel fully established, close the Primary vents.
The output ratings of this stove are based on around 1.4kg (Clarity 5) / 2.5kg (Clarity 8) / 3.8kg (Clarity 12) / 1.45kg (Clarity Vision) / 3kg (Double Sided) of seasoned logs which would require refuelling every hour.

5) Vacuum or brush out the inner stove box thoroughly. 6) Visually check that the glass is still making a good seal against its rope on the inside of the door frame and that it’s retaining clips remain firmly in place to the touch. 7) Check that the door is making a good seal with the body of the stove all around (over time the rope will flatten out and loose some flexibility - when this happens and when it is no longer sealing fully all the way round, it needs to be replaced).

2. Fuel burns too quickly The rated output on your stove is based on burning dry seasoned hardwood and re-fuelling every hour. By turning down the vent controls the fuel will burn slower and last longer. Common causes: a. Excessively strong chimney draught – If by turning down the vents the fire still burns too quickly, this is normally due to excessively strong draught on the chimney.

4. Glass gets dirty quickly Common causes: a. Top vents not open – Your stove has a top vent this controls the Airwash system – the top vent needs to be constantly open adequately to ensure enough air is coming into the stove. No Airwash will work fully when the stove is burning very slowly (slumbering).
