You must purchase a smoke control version of the Westfire stove which is modified slightly to comply with
regulations. Any change to this modification will invalidate the stoves compliance for smoke control areas.
"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. Similarly in Scotland appliances are exempted
by publication on a list by Scottish Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.
In Wales and Northern Ireland these are authorised by regulations made by Welsh Ministers and by the
Department of the Environment respectively. 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"
Only specific SE models are suitable for smoke control areas, alterations should not be attempted.
Westfire smoke control stoves should not be burnt with the door left open.
The refuelling procedure: - allow the newly charged fuel to burn with the secondary air control set at
maximum for up 3 to 4 minutes. After this period, with flames from the logs fully established, close the
secondary air supply to the low output setting. When operating at high output (secondary air set fully open)
the new refuel charge does not require any boost air to establish combustion.

Refuelling on to 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
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 appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not
be operated with air controls, appliance dampers or door left open except as directed in the instructions.
Fuel Overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can cause excess
smoke.
