Section 10 - Removal & re-fitting the smoke stop
If in doubt contact a competent person
10.1
WARNING : The smoke stop is fitted to ensure that your stove receives
enough air to burn away the smoke when burning wood. The smoke
stop is fitted to prevent the secondary air control being fully closed. If,
and only if smoke is not a concern you may unscrew and remove the
smoke stop that was fitted during the manufacture of your Flavel
Arundel XL MK2 stove. Controllability and burn times may be improved,
but more smoke may also be emitted. The smoke stops must always
remain in place when burning wood in smoke control area’s of the
United Kingdom. Failure to do so invalidates the DEFRA smoke
exemption status of the stove.
10.2
To remove the smoke stop, firstly ensure that the stove is cool.
10.3
Locate the smoke stop on the secondary air control as shown below in figure 11.
Fig. 11
10.4
Remove the smoke stop by unscrewing in a anti-clockwise direction.
10.5
Keep the smoke stop in a safe place for future use.
10.6
Re-fit in reverse order if necessary.
