The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
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 controls which generally apply in
the smoke control area).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary
of State in accordance with changes made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean
Air Act 1993 by section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015. In Scotland
appliances are exempted by publication on a list by Scottish Ministers under
section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014. Similarly, In
Northern Ireland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs under Section 16
of the Environmental Better regulation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016. In Wales
appliances are exempted by regulations made by Welsh Ministers.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found
here: https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules
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 Arizona A08E stove has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke
control areas. Suitable appliances will be fitted with a stop on the secondary
air control to prevent its closure to less than 1cm open.

1)INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
APPLIANCE LOCATION
The appliance must be located at specific distances from its surroundings.
This is to prevent damage to products & furnishings within the vicinity of the
appliance. Adequate space should be provided for servicing the appliance.
There must be a minimum clearance of 150mm each side of the appliance,
with 300mm clearance above the stove to provide sufficient space for heat to
dissipate to room space.

VENTILATION
Your stove requires ventilation to supply it with air for combustion.
Ventilation is also required to ensure the proper operation of flues and
chimneys to ensure that the products of combustion are safely dispersed to
the outside air. Please ensure the stove has sufficient ventilation for
operation.
Extraction fans lower the pressure in a building which can cause spillage of
combustion products from an open-flued appliance. This can occur even if
the appliance and the fan are in different rooms. If mechanical extraction is
Page 6of 22
unavoidable in the same room as your stove, then seek specialist advice to
ensure safe operation of the appliance.
A competent installer should be aware of specific ventilation parameters.
Specific information on venting parameters can be found at:
https://www.hetas.co.uk/19223/
For local building regulations, please see page 3.
FLUE / CHIMNEY
It is important that the flue or chimney to which this appliance is to be
connected has been checked by a competent person to ensure its suitability
and that it will work safely. The chimney or flue and installation should
comply with local and national building regulations.
Sufficient operating draft is required for the product to function optimally.
The following considerations should be taken into account to ensure safe
operation of the appliance.
The flue must be:
•Suitable for use with solid fuel burning appliances (Min. rating of
T400).
•In good condition and provide a draft of 10-20 Pa.
•Free from any internal obstructions.
•At least 4.5 metres from the top of the stove outlet to the top of the
chimney.
•Independent from a shared flue system of any type.
•Larger or equal in diameter than the appliance flue collar size.
Provision should be made to ensure the chimney can be swept in the entirety
of its length. For local building regulations, please see page 3.
Page 7of 22
If using single wall flue, please ensure there is a clearance of at least 3 times
the diameter of the flue pipe from any combustible material (e.g. 150mm
pipe = 450mm minimum clearance to wooden beam).
HEARTH CONSTRUCTION
Hearths should be constructed of suitably robust materials and to
appropriate dimensions such that, in normal use, they prevent combustion
appliances setting fire to the building fabric and furnishings and they limit the
risk of people being accidently burnt.
The hearth should be able to support the weight of the stove and its chimney
if the chimney is not independently supported.
For local building regulations, please see page 3.

2)OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Lighting the stove
1. Open the door and ensure the air wash on the top of the door is
opened fully.
2. On first lighting, we recommend using 2 - 3 firelighters along with
wood kindling built in a pyramid above the firelighters to obtain a
good fire bed. Ignite the firelighters then close the stove door and
allow the firelighters and wood kindling to ignite to the point where
the embers are glowing.
3. Add your fuel of choice and control the stove as advised. Burn small
loads initially in your new appliance before full fires are used, to
allow paint & fitting cement to cure.
Controlling Stove
Burning wood:
•Air-wash control lever –Use the air-wash control lever, the higher of
the two controls located at the bottom of the stove, to control fire.
•Primary air control lever –The lower of the two controls at the
bottom of the stove, should be closed as wood does not need air
from below to burn effectively.
•Avoid overloading your appliance as this may cause damage to the
product and cause unstable burn conditions. See max fuel load stated
in ‘Refuelling Wood’ section for more info.
Burning coal:
Page 9of 22
•The Air-wash lever –This lever should be opened enough to ensure
the glass is clean. It’s the higher of the two controls located at the
bottom of the stove.
•Primary air control lever –Stove should be mainly controlled using
this lever, the lower of the two controls at the bottom of the stove.
•Avoid prolonged periods of slow burning which may cause build-up
of creosote with certain fuels. Using a flue temperature gauge can
help achieve the optimum temperature for clean combustion. Ensure
you use the suitable fuel for the appliance.
Recommended Fuels
•Split and dried logs properly seasoned with less than 20% moisture
content. No larger than 40cm by 10cm.
•Anthracite (Medium) smokeless fuel.
•Eco Logs.
•Briquettes
Note that only Authorised fuels can be used in a Smoke Control
Area, details of Authorised fuels can be found at
https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels.php
Fuel to Avoid
Use of incorrect fuels can invalidate the warranty of your appliance.
•Petroleum Coke
•Household waste
•Wood with a moisture content above 20%
•Household coal or bituminous coal
•Waste timber that has been painted or treated e.g. railway sleepers

Refuelling Wood
1. Refuel when a layer of hot embers has been formed in the fire bed.
2. Spread the embers out over the fire bed with a poker.
3. While the embers are still glowing, add 1 or 2 logs to the fire.
4. Open the top air control fully to ignite the new fuel.
5. Once new logs have ignited, adjust the air control to give the desired
combustion. If there are too few embers, use suitable kindling prior
to the fuel load to prevent excessive smoke.
Max fuel load –2.2kg (The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual
should not be exceeded, overloading can cause excess smoke)
Refuelling Coal
1. De-ash the fire bed.
2. Fully open the bottom air intake.
3. When the new fuel is fully lit adjust the bottom air intake to give the
desired combustion.
Refuelling on a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel
charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out
onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge
will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the fire bed,
add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
