LIGHTING THE STOVE - SOLID FUELS - Continued
3. With the fire established, open the door. And fill chamber with fuel, (see weight table on page 3) do not overload. (do
not cover tertiary air ports). Reloading is approximately every hour.
4. Close fire door, set UAC control to mainly primary and 80% open.
5. Adjust as necessary.
Re-fueling solid fuel
To re-fuel your stove.
Before refuelling, open UAC control to primary and fully open.
Open door gently and de -ash your stove with use of poker. (not provided)
Add fuel to below tertiary air bar (see weight table on page 3) and close the door.
Leave the air controls open whilst fuel is established.
Once established set UAC control to mainly primary and 80% open.
In the event of a chimney fire: Close the air controls and the stove door, and call 999 or your local fire brigade.
If your stove is overheating close all air sliders and door , leave until the stove has returned to normal temperature.
The stove is only suitable for intermittent use only: do not run overnight or for long periods unattended.
Experience will determine the settings that produce best results. Use a flue thermostat to check the stove is not
overheating. Flue thermostats should be placed directly above collar of the stove on a non insulated section of pipe.
(efficient operating temperature range is between 100c and 200c) The stove will get very hot during use and due care
must therefore be exercised. Please use the glove and operating tool supplied when operating air controls and door.
SOLID SMOKELESS FUELS-
Loxton, Churchill & Sqabox models are suitable for use with good quality smokeless fuels and have been fully tested to the
relevant European standard. Only use registered smokeless fuels on this stove. Take special note of load quantities in
front of this book.(page 5)
INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION
If the air controls on your stove are closed too much incomplete combustion may lead to a build-up of hard, shiny soot on
the inside of your stove and glass. To prevent sooting of the chamber and glass introduce:-
1) more secondary air,
2) check that your fuel is suitable and dry.
3) that you have sufficient draw in your chimney.
It is important to check the draft conditions before lighting your stove. This may be done, for instance, by crumpling a piece
of newspaper, placing it in the combustion chamber and lighting it. The draft conditions are good if the smoke is drawn away
through the chimney.
OVERNIGHT BURNING
Mendip stoves do not recommend burning registered smokeless coal in a slumbering position, Mendip stoves are designed
to burn wood and quality registered smokeless fuels. Wood burns more efficiently and cleanly if it is burnt hotter. Mendip
stoves do not recommend that their stoves are burnt overnight for this reason. As a night time regime we recommend that
the fire is loaded when hot and burnt for five minutes with the secondary air control fully open until the new wood has taken
and is burning, then close the secondary air valve to its operational position. On returning to the stove in the morning the
fire will have burn out, reload with some paper or firelighter and some kindling and open both air sliders fully to relight
quickly. Beware as the ash bed will have hot embers.
PERMANENT AIR VENT
The stove requires a permanent air vent to the room . This is to provide adequate air supply in order for the stove to operate
safely and efficiently. In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fitted a permanent air supply
vent into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This air vent should not under any circumstances
be shut off or sealed.
