OVERNIGHT BURNING
SOLID SMOKELESS FUELS-
The Loxton models are suitable for use with good quality smokeless fuels
(Smokeless brique�ed fuel)
and has
been fully tested to the relevant European standard. Only use registered smokeless fuels on this stove. Take
special note of load quan��es (page 6).
Note: on cold days it maybe necessary to warm the flue using two firelighters.
1. Place Firelighters and a few smaller pieces of dry wood (kindling) among a small quan�ty of fuel in the
combustion chamber.
2. Fully open (pull out) Primary and Secondary air, the stove now has total primary and secondary air for
start up.
3. Using a long match light the firelighters and securely close door.
4. Once the fire is established, open the door and add a full load of fuel (see weight table on page 7)
Do Not Overload.
Do not cover the tertiary air ports.
5. Close fire door and adjust Primary air to about 80% open and the Secondary air 10% open.
6. Once the addi�onal fuel is burning, adjust the amount of primary air entering the combustion
chamber to your personal preference.
Please regard these instructions as guidelines because each installation will be slightly different. Experience
will determine the se�ngs that produce best results.
To prevent overhea�ng your appliance we recommend that you use a flue thermostat (placed on a non
insulated section of pipe directly above the collar of the stove).
The efficient opera�ng temperature range is between 180°C and 250°C
These stoves are not designed to run overnight or for long periods una�ended (see “Overnight Burning”)
To Re-fuel Your Stove Using Solid Fuel
(Smokeless brique�ed fuel)
:
1. Your stove will need to be refuelled approximately every 2 hours (see page 7.)
2. Before refuelling, open the control to full primary air.
3. Then slowly open door to allow the pressure to equalise between the inside of the stove and the room.
4. Once the door has been opened, de -ash your stove with use of poker (not provided).
5. Add fuel (see weight table on page 7), ensuring the fuel is placed below the level of the tertiary air ports.
6. Finally, close the door and when then fire has re-established reduce the primary air supply to your
preferred se�ngs.
PLEASE USE A HEAT RESISTANT GLOVE WHEN OPERATING THE AIR CONTROLS, DOOR AND ASH PAN, AS THE
APPLIANCE WILL BECOME VERY HOT.
HOUSE COAL AND PETROLEUM COKE ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR USE
ON THIS STOVE; ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE.
LIGHTING THE STOVE - SOLID FUELS
Mendip Stoves do not recommend burning registered smokeless brique�ed fuel or similar in a slumbering
position, Mendip stoves are designed to burn wood or quality registered smokeless fuels. Wood burns more
efficiently and cleanly if it is burnt ho�er. Mendip stoves do not recommend that their stoves are burnt
overnight for this reason.
As a night �me regime we recommend that the fire is loaded when hot and burnt for five minutes with the
secondary air control fully open, un�l the new wood has taken and is burning, Then place the Secondary Air to
50%. On returning to the stove in the morning the fire will have burnt out, reload with some paper (or a
firelighter) and some kindling, Fully open the Primary and Secondary air controls and the fire should relight
quickly.
Beware as the ash bed will have hot embers.
