Congratulations on your new Lotus Fireplace Insert

We hope and believe that it will give you many warm hours. But before you may truly
benefit from your investment, you should read this guide thoroughly. It provides some
specific advice as to how you will benefit the most from your fireplace insert – now, as well
as in the years to come. This is why this guide would be worth while keeping, like all other
directions for use.

Lotus may look back on a long tradition, making our first productions back in 1979. Our
production is now run at Langeskov, and exported to many European markets. Lotus
products are made to a fine Danish tradition, serving its owners faithfully for years. So, once
again congratulations on your new Lotus fireplace insert – making for a warm and cosy
beginning of an all new home life for you.

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).

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 Lotus Mondo 1-Mondo 2 and Mondo 1 Petite has been recommended as suitable

for use in smoke control areas when burning untreated wood only.

Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here:

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.

Refuelling on to a low fire bed

If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed 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

Fuel overloading

The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading
can cause excess smoke.

Operation with door left open

Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated
with the appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.

Dampers left open

Operation with the air controls or dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance
must not be operated with air controls or dampers door left open except as directed in the
instructions.
