Only specific SE models are suitable for smoke control areas (see page 4), alterations should not be attempted.
Mendip 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 firebed 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.
