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.
DESIGN The appliance is fabricated from pressed and welded sheet steel, and may include as an optional extra a stone or ceramic outer casing. The stove combustion chamber is lined with refractory (heat resistant) vermiculite firebricks. The refuelling door of the stove has a ceramic window, resistant to very high temperatures and thermal shocks. The ceramic is almost clear, allowing heat radiation from the combustion chamber (‘firebox’) to pass through;...
When installing the stove in a room with combustible substances of flammability classes B, C1 and C2, safe distances from the front of 800 mm and in other directions 200 mm must be observed, unless the Technical Sheet or the CE plate on the rear of the stove specifies otherwise. If the stove is installed in a room with combustible substances of class C3, the above stated distances must be doubled.
When installing the appliance, adequate access for cleaning of the stove, firebox, connecting pipes and chimney must be provided. The appliance must be installed on a floor with adequate load bearing capacity. If the stove hasn’t been used for some time, check the flue-ways to see whether or not they have become blocked.
WARNING: Kitchen and other Extractor fans: If they are placed in the same space (or house) as the stove, then they must have their own independent air vent. It must be able to supply the same volume of air to the space that the fan is capable of extracting. The Central Air Feed must also be used. FUEL The wood stove is designed for heating with firewood, wood briquettes also referred to as ‘heat logs’, and for some products when not in smoke control areas, lignite briquettes (see TECHNICAL SHEET).
IMPORTANT! - First firing The paint can become soft for a short time during first lighting. Do not touch the outer surface and do not put anything on the stove. The rope seal of the door can also stick to the body of the stove at this time - leave the door slightly open initially.
Removal of ash Depending on the length and intensity of the heating phase, the ash should be shaken through the grate to the ash pan with the help of a poker. Please ensure that the ash pan is not overfilled, thereby obstructing the air feed through the grate and leading to subsequent problems with lighting or burning.
