AGA Shawbury Wood Instructions

To light the AGA Shawbury Wood Stove, start by opening the air vents fully. Place crumpled newspaper and kindling on the grate and ignite them. Once the kindling burns steadily, add larger logs. Gradually adjust the vents to control airflow and maintain the desired temperature.
Regularly clean the stove and chimney to prevent soot buildup. Ensure that the air vents are clear and functional. Use dry, seasoned wood to minimize creosote formation. Schedule annual inspections to check for wear and tear.
Cloudy or sooty glass can be cleaned with a damp cloth and special stove glass cleaner. Ensure good airflow during operation and use well-seasoned wood to prevent soot buildup.
Ensure the chimney is clean and free of obstructions. Check that the air vents are open and functioning. Avoid using wet or unseasoned wood. If issues persist, consider consulting a professional for chimney inspection.
It is recommended to clean the stove's interior and glass weekly during usage. The chimney should be inspected and swept at least once a year, or more frequently if used heavily.
To prevent creosote buildup, use only dry and seasoned wood, maintain proper airflow by adjusting the vents, and avoid burning trash or treated wood. Regularly clean the stove and chimney.
Keep flammable materials away from the stove. Use a fire-resistant hearth rug and install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Do not leave the stove unattended while in use and ensure children and pets maintain a safe distance.
Use dry, seasoned wood for better combustion. Ensure the stove is properly sealed and adjust the air vents to optimize airflow. Regular maintenance and cleaning will help maintain efficiency.
Check that the chimney is not blocked and the air vents are open. Ensure that there is sufficient draft by opening a window slightly if necessary. If the problem persists, consult a professional.
To safely extinguish a fire, close the air vents to reduce airflow and allow the fire to burn out naturally. Do not use water to extinguish the fire, as it can damage the stove.
