1 Introduction
The appliance is designed to heat domestic residential and social spaces. The stove is intended for use only by
adults with occasional attendance and supervision. The room in which the stove is installed must be provided with
a sufficient fresh air supply, possibly by gaps through windows and doors. In well-sealed buildings, sufficient fresh
air supply to the room must be ensured by a vent of 550mm
2
for each Kilowatt of rated nominal output.
The local Building Control department must be consulted prior to any DIY installation.
Please follow all of the instructions when installing and operating the stove.
The Clean Air Act 1993, Smoke Control Areas and DEFRA
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 regulations which
generally apply in the smoke control area).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to authorise smokeless
fuels or exempt 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 "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.

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 Arctic 5, Lumo 5, Lumo 5 rotary, and Orbit 5kW stoves are exempt appliances that have been recommended as
suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning wood logs; and have been factory fitted with a secondary air
control which cannot be fully closed.
2 COMBUSTION AND HEATING FUNCTION
The stove is designed for combustion of wood and wood ‘eco’ briquettes by a burn-through system that ensures
excellent combustion conditions. If not in a smoke control area, lignite briquettes may also be used.
The heating function is achieved mainly by convection, and partially by radiant heat. The convection system is able
to heat up particularly cold rooms relatively quickly.
Convection heating works by sucking in the air from the room through the vents at the bottom of the stove into
the space between the firebox and the outer casing. It is heated in-between the double walls of the stove causing
it to rise. It flows back into the room through the vents in the upper part of the stove.
Heat is also radiated by the surface of the stove body, but the main source of radiant heat is the glass door surface.
