3.0 Safety
NB! To guarantee optimal performance and safety, Jøtul stoves
must be fitted by a qualified installer.
Any modifications to the product by the distributor, installer
or consumer may result in the product and safety features not
functioning as intended. The same applies to the installation of
accessories or optional extras not supplied by Jøtul. This may
also be the case if parts that are essential to the functioning
and safety of the fireplace have been disassembled or removed.
In all these cases, the manufacturer is not responsible or liable
for the product and the right to make a complaint becomes null
and void.

"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 fi xed 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 Northern Ireland appliances are exempted by publication
on a list by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and
Rural Affairs under Section 16 of the Environmental Better
regulation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016.
In Wales appliances are exempted by regulations made by
Welsh Ministers.

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.

3.1 Fire Prevention Measures
There is a certain element of danger every time you use your
fireplace. The following instructions must therefore be followed:
• The minimum safety distances when installing and using the
fireplace are given in fig. 1a and fig. 1b.
• Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials are not
too close to the fireplace. Flammable materials should not be
placed within 1 metre of the fireplace.
• Allow the fire to burn out. Never extinguish the flames with
water.
• The fireplace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns if
touched.
• Only remove ash when the fireplace is cold. Ash can contain
hot embers and should therefore be placed in a non-
flammable container.
• Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place where
it will not present a potential fire hazard.
In case of chimney fire:
• Close all hatches and vents.
• Keep the firebox door closed.
• Check the loft and cellar for smoke.
• Call the fire service.
• Before use after a fire an expert must check the fireplace
and the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.
