from establishing correctly and may result in
smoke emission from the stove.
Reduced Combustion
In order to shut down the stove, close the
primary control, then close the secondary air
slider by moving the handle all the way to the
left.
If the controls are left in this position, the fire
will be starved of air and will die down.
If you want to revive the fire it is recommended
that the primary air control is open first, and
then open the secondary air slider.
Warning!-
The stove will remain
hot
for a
considerable time after the fire has been
extinguished.
The Clean Air Act 1993 and
Smoke Control Areas
Under the Clean Air Act 1993 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).
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.

The Consort Slimline 5 has been recommended
as suitable for use in Smoke Control Areas when
burning wood logs.
Recommended Fuels
Parkray Stoves recommend that wood logs are
burnt in this appliance.
Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood, which
should have been cut, split and stacked for at
least 12 months, with free air movement
around the sides of the stack to enable it to dry
out.
Burning wet or unseasoned wood will create
excess smoke emissions, tar deposits in the
stove and chimney and will not produce a
satisfactory heat output.
Only authorised smokeless fuels may be used in
smoke control areas.
