AGA Ludlow Non-Boiler Multi-Fuel Instructions

To light the stove, start by placing two or three firelighters on the grate. Add small pieces of dry kindling wood on top. Light the firelighters and allow the kindling to catch fire before adding larger pieces of fuel. Ensure the air control is fully open to provide maximum air supply.
The AGA Ludlow Non-Boiler Multi-Fuel Stove is designed to burn seasoned wood, smokeless fuels, and anthracite. Ensure that any wood used is dry and well-seasoned to maximize efficiency and minimize soot buildup.
To clean the glass door, wait until the stove is completely cool. Use a soft cloth and a dedicated stove glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the glass. Regular cleaning prevents soot buildup and maintains a clear view of the fire.
Conduct a visual inspection monthly, looking for signs of wear or damage. Clean the stove and flue system regularly. Have a professional inspection and chimney sweep annually to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Excess smoke can be caused by burning wet wood, insufficient air supply, or a blocked chimney. Ensure the fuel is dry and well-seasoned, the air controls are set correctly, and the chimney is clear.
To maximize efficiency, use dry, seasoned wood and adjust the air controls to maintain a steady burn. Regularly remove ash to ensure good airflow and maintain proper maintenance routines.
Check that you are using the right type of fuel and that it is dry. Ensure the air controls are open to allow sufficient oxygen. Consider adding more fuel once the initial fire is established and burning well.
To prevent creosote buildup, burn only dry, seasoned wood, and ensure a hot, efficient fire. Regularly clean the flue and have it professionally inspected and swept annually.
A weak draw can be caused by blockages, a cold flue, or incorrect chimney height. Ensure the flue is clean and warm it up before lighting the stove. Consult a professional if chimney modifications are needed.
To extinguish the fire, close the air controls completely to cut off oxygen supply. Do not use water to put out the fire. Allow the stove to cool naturally before removing ashes.
