INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
CB-TECHNOLOGY (CLEAN BURN)
The stove is equipped with CB technology. In order to ensure optimal combustion of gases released during the combustion
process, air passes through a specially developed system of channels. The heated air is conducted into the combustion chamber
through the holes in the rear lining of the combustion chamber and at the baffle plates. This airflow is controlled by the rate of
combustion and cannot therefore be regulated.
NOTE: The wood must never be placed higher than the tertiary holes at the rear of the burn chamber (This does not apply at a
cold start).
BAFFLE PLATE
The baffle plate is located in the upper part of the combustion chamber. The plate holds 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 plate must be removed for sweeping; see “Maintenance”. Note that the baffle plate is made of porous, ceramic materi-
al, and is liable to break easily. You should therefore handle it with care.
The baffle plate is subject to wear and tear and not covered by the warranty.
PRIMARY AIR
The primary air is used when lighting the stove and must be closed after 10-20 minutes, when the fire has caught well. The prima-
ry air can be used continuously when using very hard wood.
Settings for normal load: 0 - 30%
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 avoid
soot build-up. If you over-restrict the secondary airflow, soot can build up on the glass pane. The secondary airflow determines
the heat output from your wood stove.
Settings for normal load: 50 - 70%
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 designated 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 "ex-
empt" 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 ex-
empt 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 Regu-
lations 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.

¬
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.
