UK - The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas.
Under the Clean Air Act local autorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke control area.
It is an offence to omit smoke from a chimney of a building, form a furnace or from any xed boiler if located in a designated
smoke control area. It is also an offence to aquire 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 which authorise smokeless fuels
or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areasin England. In Scotland and Wales this power rests with Ministers in
the devolved administations for those countries. Seperate legislation, the Clean Air(Northern Ireland)Order 1981, applies to
Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requiremnet 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.
Further Information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here: http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/
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 NEO 1.6 has been recommended for use in Smoke Control Areas when burning
seasoned cordwood.

Safety
Chimney Smoke and Creosote Formation
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney ue of a slow burning re. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot re. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected periodically (at least once every two months) during the heating season to determine if a creosote
buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated (3 mm. or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney re.
1. Highest smoke densities and emissions occur when a large amount of wood is added to a bed of hot coals and the air
inlet is closed. The heated wood generates smoke, but without ample air, the smoke cannot burn. Smoke-free, clean
burning requires small fuel loads, two or three logs at a time or 1/4 to 1/2 of fuel load and leaving the air inlet relatively
wide open, especially during the rst 10 to 30 minutes after each loading, when most of the smoke generating reactions
are occurring. After 30 minutes or so, the air inlet can be turned down substantially without excessive smoke generation.
Wood coals create very little creosote-producing smoke.
2. The cooler the surface over which the wood smoke is passing, the more creosote will be condensed. Wet or green wood
contributes signicantly to creosote formation as the excess moisture that is boiled off cools the re, making it difficult
for the tars and gases to ignite, thus creating dense smoke and poor combustion. This moisture-laden smoke cools the
chimney, compounding the problem by offering the smoke the ideal place to condense.
In summary, a certain amount of creosote is inevitable and must be lived with. Regular inspection and cleaning is the
solution. The use of dry, seasoned wood and ample combustion air will help to minimize annoying smoke emissions and
creosote buildup.
Chimney Fires
The result of excessive creosote buildup is a chimney re. Chimney res are dangerous. Chimney inside temperatures can
exceed 1100°C. This causes much higher than normal temperatures in the chimney and on its exterior surfaces. Thus ignition
of nearby or touching combustible material is more likely during a chimney re. Proper clearances are critical during such a re.
Chimney res are easy to detect; they usually involve one or more of the following:
-Flames and sparks shooting out of the top of the chimney
-A roaring sound and/or a Vibration of the chimney
In the Event of a Chimney Fire
1. Prepare to evacuate to ensure everyone's safety. Have a well understood plan of action for evacuation. Have a place
outside where everyone is to meet.
2. Close air inlet on stove.
3. Call local re department. Have a re extinguisher handy. Contact your local municipal or provincial re authority for
further information on how to handle a chimney re. It is most important that you have a clearly understood plan on how
to handle a chimney re.
4. After the chimney re is out, the chimney must be cleaned and checked for stress and cracks before starting another re.
Also check combustibles around the chimney and the roof.
- The services of a competent or certied installer, are strongly recommended.
Avoiding a Chimney Fire
There are two ways to avoid chimney res:
1. Do not let creosote build up to a point where a big chimney re is possible.
2. Do not have res in the stove that may ignite chimney res. These are hot res, such as when burning household trash,
cardboard, Christmas tree limbs, or even ordinary fuel wood; (e.g.. with a full load on a hot bed of coals and with the air
inlet excessively open.)
NOTE: SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS MUST BE INSTALLED AS PER REGULATION
If smoke detectors have been previously installed, you may notice that they are operating more frequently. This may be due
to curing of stove paint or fumes caused by accidentally leaving the re door open. Do not disconnect the detectors.

Operation
CAUTION: Never use petrol, petrol type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter uid or similar liquids to start or "freshen up"
a re in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.
CAUTION: Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
Your PACIFIC ENERGY stove is designed for many years of trouble free operation. Over ring the appliance will shorten
the life of the product. Failure to recitify an over ring condition can be hazardous and may void the manufacturer's warranty.
Wood Selection
This stove is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiency and lower emissions generally result when burning airdried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for six months or more. Wet or undried wood will cause the re to smoulder
and produce large amounts of smoke and creosote. Wet wood also produces very little heat and tends to go out often.
DO NOT BURN :
-Salt water wood * -Treated wood
-Wet or green wood -Coal/charcoal
-Garbage* -Solvents
-Lawn clippings/yard waste -Unseasoned wood
-Railroad ties -Manure or animal remains
-Materials containing rubber, including tires
-Materials containing plastic
-Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or asphalt products
-Construction or demolition debris -Materials containing asbestos
-Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard.
* These materials contain chlorides which will rapidly destroy metal surfaces and void warranty.
Burning these materials may result in the release of toxic fumes or render the stove ineffective and cause smoke.
The prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit the use of re starters made from paper, cardboard, saw
dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of starting a re in an affected wood stove.
Do not burn anything but wood. Other fuels, eg. charcoal, can produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, a tasteless,
odourless gas that can kill. Under no circumstances should you attempt to barbecue in this stove.
How to Test Your Wood
Add a large piece of wood to the stove when it has a good large bed of coals. It is dry if it is burning on more than one side
within one minute. It is damp if it turns black and lights within three minutes. If it sizzles, hisses and blackens without igniting
in ve minutes it is soaked and should not be burnt
Lighting a Fire
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile liquid to start a re.
1. Adjust air control to “High” position(all the way to the left) and open door.
2. Place crumpled newspaper in the centre of the stove and criss-cross with several pieces of dry kindling. Add a few small
pieces of dry wood on top.
3. Ignite the paper and leave the door ajar approimately 13mm - 25mm until the wood kindling is fully engulfed in ame.
4. After the kindling is fully engulfed add a few small logs. Close door.
5. Begin normal operation after a good coal base exists and wood has charred.
Curing of the Paint Finish
When burning your stove for the rst 2-3 times it is very important that the room be well ventilated. Open all windows and
doors. Smoke and fumes caused by the curing process may cause discomfort to some individuals.
NEO 1.6 EU-En 200116-20 5 ©PACIFIC ENERGY FIREPLACE

Normal Operation
1. Set the air control to a desired setting. If smoke pours down across the glass (waterfall effect) this indicates you have shut
the control down too soon or you are using too low a setting. The wide range control makes nding the desired setting
for your application easy. As every home's heating needs vary (ie. insulation, windows, climate, etc.) the proper setting
can only be found by trial and error and should be noted for future burns.
2. To refuel, adjust air control to “High” position(all the way to the left), and give the re time to brighten. Open the door
slowly, this will prevent backpuffing or ame roll-out.
3. Use wood of different shape, diameter and length ( recommended 16"(406mm)). Load your wood and try to place the
logs so that the air can ow between them. Always use dry wood.
4. Do not load fuel to a height that exceeds the height of the side rebricks or in such a manner that would be hazardous
when opening the door.
5. For extended or overnight burns, unsplit logs are preferred. Remember to char the wood completely on "High" setting
before adjusting air control to the "Low" setting for overnight burn.
WARNING: Always keep loading door closed when burning. This stove is not designed for open door burning.
WARNING: No alteration or modication of the combustion air control assembly is permitted. Any tampering will
void warranty and could be very hazardous.
WARNING: Do not use grates or andirons to elevate the fuel. Burn directly on the re bricks. Replace broken or
missing bricks. Failure to do so may create a hazardous condition.
Restarting from Hot Embers
If there is insufficient burning material in the rebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refueling
must be carried out onto a sucient quantity of embers and ash that the new charge will ignite in a resonable period. If there
are too few embers in the re bed, add suitable kindling to preent excessive smoke.
1. Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of the stove. Add a couple of dry, split logs on top of embers, close
door.
2. Adjust air control to high and in just a few minutes, logs should begin burning.
3. After wood has charred, reset air control to desired setting.
4. To achieve maximum ring rate, set control to “High” position(all the way to the left). Only use this setting for starting or
preheating fresh fuel loads.
Over Firing
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS Stove: Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed stove design specications can
result in permanent damage to the stove and chimney.
Over ring can be caused by operating the unit with the door open, damage to door gaskets allowing excess air to enter the
rebox, the use of kiln dried lumber, mill ends or paper waste and prolonged or continual use on a high burn setting.
Proper Draft
Operation with the the dor open can cause excessive smoke. do not operate this unit in a manner that will cause excessive
smoke.
1. Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends
on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.
2. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. An uncontrollable burn or a glowing red stove part
or chimney indicates excessive draft.
3. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room and plugging of the chimney. Smoke leaking into the room through
appliance and chimney connector joints indicates inadequate draft. This will also cause excessive smoke temission.
WARNING: DO NOT STORE WOOD BENEATH YOUR UNIT.
