SALTBURN SMOKE CONTROL /

DALBY SMOKE CONTROL

WOOD BURNING STOVE

INSTALLATION AND USER INSTRUCTIONS

Read these instructions carefully before installation and use.

These instructions should be retained by the user for future reference.

Please note these instructions cover 2 models of stoves;-

The Saltburn Smoke Control (flat door version) and the
Dalby Smoke Control (curved door version)

The Saltburn / Dalby Smoke Control stove has a nominal heat output of 5kW and a
weight of 61 kg. The flue gas mass flow is 2.9 g/s for wood logs. The mean flue gas
temperature directly downstream of the flue spigot at nominal heat output is 233 degrees C.
The Saltburn / Dalby Smoke Control has been tested as a closed appliance and is capable of
intermittent operation.

WARNING

The stove must be installed to comply with Health and Safety at Work Act 1974,to British
Standard BS 8303 and to all local Building Regulations, including those referring to
National and European standards.
These need to be complied with when installing the appliance.
Ensure that the flue pipe diameter is not less than the 125mm diameter outlet on the
appliance.
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the Saltburn / Dalby Smoke
Control.
If there is a possibility of disturbing asbestos during the installation it is necessary to take
the appropriate steps to protect the installer.
Fire cement is caustic and protective gloves should be worn.
The chimney must be swept and examined for soundness and suitability before the stove is
installed. Remedial action should be taken if required, seeking expert advice if necessary.
Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation it is
possible that the higher flue gas temperature from a closed appliance may loosen deposits
that were previously firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage.

It is therefore recommended that the chimney be swept a second time within a month of
regular use after installation.

CO Alarms:-Building regulations require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid
fuel or wood/biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be
fitted in the same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon
monoxide alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s
instructions.

Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing the appliance
correctly or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney
system.

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 “unauthorized 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 authorize smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in
England. In Scotland and Wales this power rests with the 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 Saltburn Smoke Control and the Dalby Smoke Control have been recommended
as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning dry seasoned wood logs and
when the appliances have been modified to prevent closure of the air control slider
beyond the 30mm open position.

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.

UNPACK THE STOVE

Carefully cut the straps and lift the box up over the top of the stove. Remove the packing
from round the outside of the stove, leaving the plastic cover on if building work is still

in progress. It is important to protect the paint finish from any damage, water, dust
or fire cement. Using a 17mm spanner, remove the two bolts attaching the stove to the

pallet and then replace the bolts into the stove legs, these are used as levelling bolts if
required.
Open the stove door and remove the packaging from inside the stove, there is some above
the baffle and the heavy one inside the stove contains the spigot for the flue outlet.
Remove the bag inside the ashpan, this contains the operating tool, instructions, and a pair
of stove gloves

CLEARANCES

It is recommended that the appliance is sited next to and on a non-combustible surface. A
minimum clearance of 150mm at the sides 300mm above and 50mm from the back of the
stove body will allow air circulation and not impede the performance of the stove.
If it is necessary to site the stove near a combustible surface a minimum of 500 mm at the
back and 650 mm at the sides must be maintained. It is recommended that this appliance is
installed on a solid, level, non-combustible hearth conforming to current Building
Regulations. This appliance has been tested for hearth temperatures and the maximum
temperature was 59 degrees C so is also suitable for a 12mm hearth.

INSTALLATION

A minimum flue draught of 24 Pa is required for nominal heat output. As referred to in
document J of the Building regulations, no purpose provided ventilation is normally
required for the Saltburn / Dalby Smoke Control stove. The appliance must be installed on
a floor with an adequate load-bearing capacity. If an existing construction doesn’t meet
the prerequisite, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate) shall be taken to achieve it.
It is important that any inlet grilles are so positioned that they are not liable to blockage.

It is essential that the stove has adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation.
Apertures provided for this purpose shall not be restricted.

Please note where the external air kit is fitted an air vent is still required in the same
room as the stove depending on air tightness of the room, please refer to Building
Regulations Part J

Fit the collar on the top of the stove. A flat-bladed screw driver and 8mm spanner will be
required.

The Saltburn / Dalby Smoke Control requires a Class 1 chimney of it’s own, a shared
chimney will not be suitable. The chimney must be sound, free from leaks and swept
