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.
INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION
Mendip Stoves are designed to burn wood. Wood burns more efficiently and cleanly when it is burnt hotter, the typical burn
cycle of a wood load is 1hr. 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 air control to its operational position. On returning
to the stove in the morning the fire will have burn out, reload with a firelighter and some kindling and open the air control
fully to relight quickly. Beware as the ash bed could still have hot embers.
OVERNIGHT BURNING
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.
Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes from
de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be
tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate action should be taken:-
(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave the premises.
(b) Let the fire go out.
(c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required
(d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected. If necessary
seek expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flue way or chimney blockage. For your own safety these must be kept clean
at all times.
CO Alarm
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm sounds unexpectedly, follow
the instructions given under “Warning Note” above.
Aerosols
Aerosols are flammable and therefore dangerous to use around a lit stove. Do not use aerosol sprays near your lit stove.
The use of any aerosol is dangerous and care must be take in handling aerosols.
