Connection To Chimney - Mendip Stoves Loxton 3 Guide D'utilisation Et Mode D'emploi

INSULATED CHAMBERS
Mendip Stoves are lined 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.
Place fuel into the fire chamber of your stove, impact from logs can cause the heat deflection panels to crack.

CONNECTION TO CHIMNEY

Mendip Stoves are factory set up with a top flue outlet, this can be altered from top to rear connection, remove the top
collar and rear cover plate and exchanging collar and plate. Care should be taken to ensure an airtight fit when refitting
collar and plate. A decorative cover plate is included with every 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.

LIGHTING YOUR STOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before lighting your stove for first time make sure you have read this manual fully and acquainted yourself with the
controls of this appliance. (see page 9)
The heat-resistant paint on your stove will cure and harden the first time you light your appliance. The curing process produces
a good deal of smoke and odour, it is therefore important that the first time you light your stove the room should be well
ventilated. During the process it is important to open and close the stove door periodically (every 30mins) during the first
couple of firings therefore preventing the door seal cord around the door from sticking and coming away from the door.
Once the heat-resistant paint has hardened the smell will disappear. This stove is NOT designed to be used with the door
open, the stove door must be kept closed except when lighting the stove, adding firewood or removing ash in order to
prevent flue gases from escaping.
Lighting your appliance
Quality Firelighters should be used when lighting the stove. (Never use metholated spirit, petrol or other flammable
liquids). Lighting your stove with firelighters will be more reliable and easier than using paper.
