COMBUSTION AIR
In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there should be an adequate air supply into the room in which the
stove is installed to provide combustion air. This is particularly necessary if the room is double-glazed or a flue draught
stabiliser is operating in the same room as the appliance. The provision of air supply to the stove must be in accordance with
current Building Regulations Approved Document J. An opening window is not appropriate for this purpose. Air inlets must
be positioned in such a way that they cannot be blocked. An air inlet may be a vent (the vent must be open and the capacity
for the vent sufficient when the stove is lit) .
The Woodland models take all combustion from a single 80mm port at the bottom rear of the stove, with the door closed
the air port supplies all combustion air for the appliance. This can be connected to the outside via a 80mm pipe so the
appliance does not draw air from the room. However Mendip stoves still recommends the use of an air brick as laid out in
document j for when the stove is being reloaded.
COMBUSTION CHAMBERS
Mendip Stoves are fitted internally with vermiculite heat deflection panels and baffles, these panels are designed to ensure
the maximum efficiency and are an integral part of the clean burn process of the stove. These baffles should not be removed
other than for cleaning the stove. Any defective panels should be replaced, (small hairline cracks do not need replacement)
however can develop during long term use to a larger crack, if this passes through the vermiculite to the stove body then
the panel must be replaced. When refuelling your stove place the wood fuel into the chamber (wearing a glove), impact
from logs can cause the heat deflection panel to crack.
Connection to chimney
Mendip Stoves are built with a top flue outlet as standard, this can be altered to a rear connection by removing the top
collar, rear cover plate then exchanging collar and plate. Care should be taken to ensure an airtight fit when refitting collar
and plate. A decorative cover plate is included in each stove to cover the hole in the convection top plate. This collar
allows connection to either a masonry chimney or a prefabricated factory made insulated metal chimney.
COMMISSIONING AND HANDOVER
Ensure all loose parts (bricks and grates) are fitted in accordance with the instructions given in the instruction booklet. On
completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out, a small fire may be
lit to check that smoke and fumes are taken from the stove up the chimney and emitted safely into the atmosphere. Do not
run at full output for at least 24 hours.
On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions for the stove are left with the
customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance with the fuels likely to be used in the stove and
notify them to use only the recommended fuels for the stove. Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted
from the stove.
The customer should be warned to use a fireguard to BS 8423:2002 in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.
OPERATING YOUR STOVE - THE WOODLAND
Suitable fuels:- Your stove is tested to burn wood or registered smokeless coal. Wood briquettes can also be burnt but
special account should be taken of fuel weight. For a full list of suitable fuels, check with the official solid fuels approvals
body, HETAS or Solid Fuel Association. Do not overload stove as this can cause excessive heat and damage the stove (see
table on page 5).
ALWAYS KEEP FUEL LOAD BELOW TERTIARY PORTS AT REAR OF STOVE. Only use fuels approved for use on heating stoves.
Do not burn liquid fuels, drift wood, finished wood, sawn wood, pallet wood, chipboard/plywood ,varnished wood or
plastic coated wood, wood treated with preservatives, or any house hold waste.
DO NOT BURN HOUSE COAL. DO NOT BURN HOUSEHOLD WASTE, THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT
MENDIP STOVES RECOMMEND THE USE OF A FLUE THERMOSTAT TO CHECK YOUR STOVE IS NOT
OVERHEATING. PLACE FLUE THERMOSTAT DIRECTLY ABOVE COLLAR OF STOVE AND REFER TO
DO NOT EXCEED SPECIFIED FUEL WEIGHTS.
AN INCINERATOR.
