Ensure that your appliance, flue ways and chimney are swept regularly. This can be incorporated in the service regime of
your appliance. Regular sweeping is essen�al and means at least once a year for smokeless fuels and a minimum of twice
a year for wood . If a throat/baffle plate is incorporated, it is essen�al that the throat/ baffle plate is removed and cleaned
above, all ash and debris should be removed. Ensure adequate access to cleaning doors where it is not possible to sweep
the chimney through the appliance.

Where a chimney has served an open fire installation previously it is possible that the higher flue gas temperature from a

closed appliance may loosen deposits that were previously firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It
is therefore recommended that the chimney be swept a second �me within a month of regular use a�er installa�on of the
stove.

Chimney Fires

If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur turn
the air control se�ng to the minimum, and �ghtly close the doors of the stove. This should cause the chimney fire to go
out in which case the control should be kept at the minimum se�ng un�l the fire in the stove has gone out. The chimney
and flue ways should then be cleaned. If the chimney fire does not go out when the above ac�on is taken then the fire
brigade should be called immediately.
A�er a chimney fire the chimney should be carefully examined for any damage. Expert advice should be sought if
necessary

Mendip stoves recommends that your model needs to have the ash removed from the Christon stove at regular intervals
(every 2-3 days if used daily). Overflowing ash will impede the func�on of the stove and can cause possible damage to the
stove linings. To remove ash pan use a ash shovel, always wear a heat resistant glove. Make sure the stove is completely
cold before cleaning out ash (embers can remain hot for over 24 hours).

Ash must be stored in a non-combus�ble container and must not be mixed with other combus�ble waste.

Annual service

The inside of the stove should be serviced /cleaned once a year. To clean the inside, remove all ash, soot and tar residue

from the combus�on chamber. Remove insulated chamber panels and baffle, dirt and soot will collect behind it and this
must be cleaned out. Check the quality of all insulated panels and replace any which are damaged or cracked, replace stove
door rope cord in the door. Check glass is correctly posi�oned. The stove, the flue pipe connec�on and the chimney should
be checked regularly by a qualified engineer. The chimney should also be checked for blockages before religh�ng the stove
if it has not been used for an extended period of �me. The paint/ lacquer can wear thin in exposed places due to overhea�ng.

This, and other lacquer damage, may be repaired using Senotherm paint/lacquer spray available from your Mendip dealer.
To clean the outside of the stove use a dry cloth.

Prolonged non use (summer)

If the stove is to be le� unused for a prolonged period of �me (e.g. over the summer) then it should be given a thorough
clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air through the appliance to reduce condensa�on
and subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open.
It is important that the flue connec�on, any appliance baffles or throat plates and the chimney are swept prior to ligh�ng up
a�er a prolonged shutdown period.

Spare parts & unauthorised altera�ons

Only the manufacturer's own components, or replacement parts recommended and approved by Mendip stoves, shall be

used for appliance servicing and repair. Any unauthorised altera�ons will invalidate the stove warranty and compliance with
EN13240.
