3. Installation Instructions
All local and national regulations must be observed when installing the appliance. If
installed incorrectly serious accidents can be caused.
Building Regulation Document J must be referred to when installing this appliance.
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the manufacturer’s instructions are complied
with. A HETAS qualified installation engineer should carry out the installation and issue
a compliance certificate or alternatively your local Building control department needs
to inspect the installation and register the work carried out.
3.a Warning
All our stoves are classed as exempt stoves which means you can burn seasoned
wood or smokeless fuels in smoke control areas.
If you live in a smoke control area (introduced by The Clean Air Act, 1993, see below)
you are permitted to burn approved smokeless fuel only, this does not include wood.
However if you use an Exempt stove then you can burn both seasoned wood and
approved smokeless fuels. NEVER BURN HOUSE COAL in a closed appliance like a
stove.
The following stoves have been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control
areas when fitted with a smoke control kit when burning wood logs: the Short
Penguin, Chubby 5, Woody, Hungry Penguin, Fat Penguin, High and Mighty, Penguin
8, Chubby 8, Eighty Ate “88”. The appliances are not exempted when burning wood
briquettes or paper bricks or unauthorised fuels.
When a smoke control kit has been fitted this should be recorded in this manual on the
guarantee page.
The clip in boiler option on all our stoves is not approved for use in smoke control areas.
The general principle to be observed in an Exempt chilli penguin stove is that the air
controls cannot be completely closed, allowing a permanent air supply to the fire
chamber. This means that fuel burns more eciently, thereby emitting less harmful
emissions into the atmosphere.
“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 oence 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 oence 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).
