any point.

2.4 Ventilation / fresh air supply
In order for the wood burning stove to function at optimum efficiency, air is needed for the combustion
process. There must be sufficient fresh air coming into the room containing the wood burning stove. In very
well-insulated houses, or houses with powerful cooker hoods and/or air conditioning systems, a vacuum can
be created around the wood burning stove, leading to smoke leakage and poor combustion.
In normal scenarios this stove complies with the guidance given in approved Document J of the Building
Regulations that states that purpose provided ventilation is not required in England and Wales unless the
appliance nominal rated output is greater than 5kW.
Extractor Fan Warning: There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can
cause the stove to emit fumes into the room. If unavoidable the appliance must be checked with Approved
Document (A.D.) 1.21 and necessary action taken
Action may have to be taken if other heating appliances are in the same dwelling to make sure the correct
ventilation applies.
2.5 The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
