retailer.
Unauthorised Fuels
DO NOT burn Wildfire, bituminous coal, Housecoal, household coal, petroleum
cokes or household waste. If in doubt consult your merchant or the Solid Fuel
Association.
Please note that when refuelling with solid fuel, do not pile fuel higher than 30
degrees from the front bar rearwards – over-fuelling can cause excess smoke
and produce temperatures beyond the designed rating of the appliance causing
damage to internal parts.
This stove is designed to be operated with the door closed, except for refuelling.
Not only is it unsafe to operate with the door open but the appliance efficiency
will be significantly reduced and excess smoke can occur.
This stove is designed to operate intermittently and must not be used as an
overnight burner.
Clean Burn - 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
“unauthorised fuel” for use within a smoke control area unless it is used in an
“exempt” appliance (“exempted” from the controls which generally apply in the
smoke control area).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary of
State in accordance with changes made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air
Act 1993 by section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015. Similarly, in Scotland
appliances are exempted by publication on a list by Scottish Ministers under
section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014. In Northern Ireland
appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Department of
Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs under Section 16 of the
Environmental Better regulation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016. In Wales
appliances are exempted by regulations made by Welsh Ministers.
