E-FUELLING ( wood)

To re-fuel your stove in the cleanest way.

Only refuel your stove when flames have died down and you have glowing embers.

Before refuelling, open secondary air slider fully .

Open door gently, add two pieces of wood (see weight table page 3) and close the door.
Once the flames from the logs are fully established  the secondary air supply can be adjusted to the desired setting .

BURNING WOOD IN A SMOKE CONTROL AREA

You must purchase a smoke control version of the Mendip stove which is modified slightly to comply with regulations. Any

change to this modification will invalidate the stoves compliance for smoke control areas.

The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas

Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke
control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located
in a designated smoke control area. It is also an offence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use within a smoke control
area unless it is used in an "exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply in the smoke control
area).

The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to authorise smokeless fuels or

exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in England. In Scotland and Wales this power rests with Ministers in the
devolved administrations for those countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in
Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke control areas have been

"authorised" in Regulations and that appliances used to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than "authorised" fuels) have

been exempted by an Order made and signed by the Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here:

http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/

Your

local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including designation and supervision of smoke
control areas and you can contact them for details of Clean Air Act requirements

Using your stove in a smoke control zone.

Only  specific SE models are suitable for smoke control areas (see page 4),  alterations should not be attempted.

 Mendip  smoke control stoves should not be burnt with the  door left open.

T

he refuelling procedure : - allow the newly charged fuel to burn with the secondary air control set at maximum for up 3

to 4 minutes.  After this period, with flames from the logs fully established, close the secondary air supply  to the low
output setting.  When operating at high output (secondary air set fully open) the new refuel charge does not require any
boost air to establish combustion.

R

efuelling on to a low fire bed

If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur.
Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in
a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke

Dampers left open

Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated

with air controls, appliance dampers or door left open except as directed in the instructions.

TO LIGHT YOUR STOVE  (Solid Fuel)

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 quantity of  fuel in the combustion
chamber.
2. Fully slide open (to the left) the secondary air slider above stove door on right hand side. Slide to  left fully the primary
air slider below door of stove.  The stove’s air controls  are now fully open. Light firelighters and securely close door.
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 2 hours.
4. Close fire door, set primary air  to 45% open and set secondary air to 40% open.
5. Adjust as necessary.

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.
