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 "authorised" in Regulations and that appliances used to burn solid fuel in those areas (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 Double Sided” has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning
seasoned wood.

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.
FUEL
Wood- All types of wood are suitable provided they are wells 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
in order 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. Logs should be no more than 450mm 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.
WARNING: Wet timber should not be used as this will create excess tar deposits in the chimney and stove and
could increase the risk of chimney fire. Timber which is not of a suitable moisture content will also create more
smoke and harmful emissions.
Manufactured smokeless coals and anthracite can be used and will all have different qualities and effects.
– Do
NOT use Petro-Coke based fuels or any petroleum based fuels as this will invalidate the warranty. Never use your
stove as incinerator to burn waste or rubbish. Any coal burned should be coal suitable for a multi-fuel stove (some
coal is only for use on open fires and burns too hot for a stove).
Never use your stove as incinerator to burn waste or rubbish.
AIR INLET CONTROLS
Your stove has four sets of air inlet areas-
The upper vent above each door provides air supply for the air-wash system and allow 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. By moving the Secondary vent knob to the right, airflow into the
stove is increased. The secondary air vent is set such that the closure plate does not seal fully, thus allowing some
constant air supply into the stove.
The lower vent knob on the bottom of the door controls the provision of Primary air – this is the primary source of
air supply for combustion. Sliding the knob to the right increases the amount of Primary airflow into the stove.
The third (Tertiary) vent control is located underneath the stove and controlled by a lever/ knob tucked under the
bottom shelf. Pulling the lever out increases the airflow into the stove. The air is then channelled through a
chamber on the bottom of the stove and to the sides of the firebox, and enters the firebox via a series of small
holes. Pushing the lever fully in closes of this air intake partially. This intake cannot be fully closed. This ensures
the stove maintains level of combustion not likely to create excessive smoke.
