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.
Page 6 OPERATION WITH DOOR LEFT OPEN Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. DO NOT operate the stove with the door open except when re-fuelling. DAMPERS LEFT OPEN Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke.

Page 10 POSITIONING AND INSTALLATION REGULATORY COMPLIANCE In England and Wales, there are only two routes to legally install a domestic solid fuel or wood burning appliance. In other parts of the UK there are variations in legislation and processes. You can either: •...
Page 11 When the stove is positioned near a wall constructed of flammable material, the distances shown on Fig 3 must be adhered to. Alternatively, a heat shield may be used, mounted according to the position of the fireplace. A firewall must be at least 100mm thick and typically made of brick, or concrete/stone. MATERIAL CLEARANCES The stove must have a minimum clearance of 400mm to a combustible ceiling above.
Page 12 Flue pipes with a smaller cross-sectional area than that of the stove outlet should never be used and must not project into the chimney connector, such as to cause a restriction to the gas flow. Sizes of flues in chimneys are stipulated in Table 2 of the Building Regulations 2000 Approved Document “J”...
Page 13 FIG 4 External flue pipes should be “twin wall”. These retain the heat, enabling it to rise and disperse from the chimney. As an alternative approach, the calculation procedure within BS EN 13384-1 (2005) can be used as the basis for deciding whether a chimney design will provide sufficient draught.
Page 14 FLUE PIPE COMPONENTS REQUIRED FIG 5 A wide selection of flue pipes, connectors and other components as shown above is available from your CLARKE stockist. See page 25. 14 of 32 Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com...
Page 15 INSPECTION & CLEANING Check that the chimney is in good condition, dry and free from cracks and obstructions. The diameter of the chimney should not be less than 150mm and not more than 230mm. If any of these requirements are not met, the chimney should be lined by a suitable method.

Page 17 FIG 6 A non-combustible register plate minimum 1.5 mm thick should be fitted to all installations between the flue and the building structure. It’s suitability and fit should be checked by a qualified stove installation engineer against the current Building Regulations App”J”.
Page 18 (e.g. a soot door or access through a register plate). Purpose-made soot doors and inspection lengths are available from the CLARKE range. Ensure that the whole length of the flue can be reached from the soot door.
Page 19 CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS Due consideration should be given to the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning following incomplete combustion of solid fuels in an enclosed space. Carbon monoxide detectors to BS EN 50291 are available for use in domestic premises and details are available in the official HETAS guide that can be viewed on their website at www.hetas.co.uk.

AS THESE ARE INTENDED TO BE ADJUSTED DURING OPERATION, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A PROTECTIVE MITT IS WORN WHEN HANDING THESE PARTS. The amount of heat emitted by the stove is regulated using the air...
Page 21 • The use of damp wood will result in more soot and tar deposits being left in the chimney, flue and stove, and will not release heat if thermal energy is being used to drive out moisture from the fuel. The smoke control website includes details of fuels authorised for use in Smoke Control Areas but does not provide locations of Smoke Control Areas - the user should check with the Local Authority to determine if they are in a Smoke...
Page 22 4. After a couple of days burning at this level, increase the brightness & intensity of the fire gradually over the next 10 days. Full strength fires should not be used until completion of approx 20 days of mild use. Only from this time will the stove have been properly seasoned. It should be remembered that this procedure should be carried out at the beginning of each season of use in order to remove the moisture retained by the metal during the period of non-use.
Page 23 Be sure to remove the ash when the fire is at its lowest point, such as first thing in the morning. The CLARKE ASHVAC1200 Vacuum Cleaner is ideal for collecting ash and debris from stoves. See page 26.
Page 24 If the stove is purely ornamental, painting will provide a durable, attractive finish. If the stove is used for heating, a high temperature heat resistant paint (available from your CLARKE dealer) must be used, in either aerosol or brush applied form. Should rust become apparent, clean thoroughly with a wire brush and apply a suitable anti-rust treatment.
Page 25 FIRE ROPE Check the rope around the door and glass. If rope is in poor condition, replace with rope approved for this purpose. Inspect the fireproof door seal where fitted, to ensure there is an effective seal around the door and re-fix it if loose using stove rope adhesive.
