hese instructions cover the basic principles to ensure the satisfactory installation of the Mendip Stoves

Ltd :-  Churchill , Loxton  and Sqabox models, although detail may need slight modification to suit particular
local site conditions.
In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority Byelaws and
other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the stove.
It  should  be  noted  that  the  Building  Regulations  requirements  may  be  met  by  adopting  the  relevant
recommendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BS EN 15287 as an alternative means to achieve an
equivalent level of performance to that obtained following the guidance given in Approved Document J.

HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INFORMATION FOR THE USER, INSTALLER AND SERVICE ENGINEER

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act are
met.

Handling

Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.

Fire Cement

Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In case of contact
wash immediately with plenty of water.

PREPARATORY WORK AND SAFETY CHECKS

IMPORTANT WARNING

This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance. There must not be an extractor

fan fitted in the same room as the stove because this can cause the stove to emit fumes into the room.

Asbestos

This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the coarse of installation then please

seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protective equipment.

Metal Parts

When installing or servicing this stove care should be taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury.

CO Alarms:-

Building regulations require that when ever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass appliance is installed
in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the
installation of the carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s
instructions.

Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing the appliance correctly or

ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney system.

Stove paint Aerosols
Paint aerosols are flammable and therefore dangerous to use around a lit stove. Be sure to allow  aerosols spray paints
to dry  and ventilate the room well  before lighting the stove. The use of any aerosol around lit stove is dangerous and
care must be take in handling aerosols.
