To start the AGA Ludlow Ellesmere EC5W Stove, ensure the air controls are fully open, place kindling wood and firelighters inside, and ignite. Gradually add larger logs once the kindling is burning well.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the glass, checking and emptying the ash pan, and inspecting the flue for any blockages or soot buildup. An annual service by a professional is also recommended.
To improve efficiency, use well-seasoned wood with a moisture content below 20%, maintain proper airflow, and ensure regular cleaning of the stove and flue.
Blackened glass usually indicates poor combustion. Ensure the wood is dry and the air vents are properly adjusted. Clean the glass with a stove glass cleaner.
The primary air control is at the bottom of the stove, and the secondary air control is above the door. Adjust these to regulate the burn rate and temperature.
Smoke may indicate a blocked flue or chimney. Check for obstructions and ensure the flue is clean. Also, verify that the room has adequate ventilation.
The AGA Ludlow Ellesmere EC5W Stove is designed for burning wood. It is not recommended to burn coal unless specified in the manufacturer's guidelines.
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the stove. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the finish.
Signs include difficulty in lighting, excessive smoke, unusual noises, or poor heat output. Regular servicing ensures optimal performance.
To replace the door seal, remove the old seal and any residual adhesive. Apply new adhesive and fit the new seal, ensuring it is secure and forms a tight seal when the door is closed.
