AGA Ellesmere 4K Instructions

To light the AGA Ellesmere 4K Stove, ensure the air controls are open. Place kindling wood and a firelighter on the grate, then ignite the firelighter. Once the kindling is burning, add larger logs gradually.
If the stove glass becomes sooty, check that you are using well-seasoned wood. Ensure the airwash system is functioning by keeping the air controls open during initial burning. Clean the glass with a stove glass cleaner when cool.
The flue should be cleaned at least once a year by a professional chimney sweep. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on usage and the type of fuel burned.
Maintain the exterior finish of the stove by regularly dusting with a soft cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and dry immediately to prevent rust.
To maximize efficiency, use well-seasoned wood with low moisture content. Ensure proper airflow by adjusting air controls and regularly clear ash buildup.
If the stove is not drawing properly, check for blockages in the flue and ensure that the room is adequately ventilated. Consider consulting a professional if problems persist.
To replace the door gasket, first remove the old gasket and clean the channel. Apply a gasket adhesive and press the new gasket firmly into place, ensuring it is securely fitted.
Smoke emission into the room could be due to a blocked chimney, insufficient ventilation, or opening the door too quickly. Ensure the chimney is clear and allow the stove to establish a good draft before opening the door slowly.
The AGA Ellesmere 4K Stove is designed to burn wood and smokeless fuels. Ensure that wood is well-seasoned and that smokeless fuels are suitable for stoves.
Prevent creosote buildup by using seasoned wood, maintaining a hot fire, and ensuring the flue is clean. Regular inspections and cleanings are essential to minimize buildup.
