The Ecosy+ Purefire Panoramic 5kW Slimline - SE has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke
control areas when burning seasoned wood logs. The appliance has a factory-fitted modification to the
secondary air control to prevent closure beyond 18mm open.
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.
Please note the following advice on minimising smoke emissions :
Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke
emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and
ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the fire
bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can cause
excess smoke.
Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with the
appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.
Dampers left open
Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance
must not be operated with air controls, appliance dampers or door left open except as directed in the
instructions.
FUEL
Wood- All types of wood are suitable provided they are well seasoned, UNTREATED, and have a
moisture level between 12% and 20%. For soft woods, typically they will need to have been left in
suitable storage for 9+ months for the moisture to evaporate. For hardwoods, this will usually be 18
.
It is recommended that logs should be no more than 5” or 125mm in diameter and 10” 25cm
in length. If you are unsure of the moisture content of your fuel, then you can buy a moisture meter
which will indicate the moisture levels in your fuel. Liquid fuels must NEVER be used.
