To start a fire, begin by placing crumpled newspaper and kindling on the grate. Open the air vents fully and light the newspaper. Once the kindling is burning, add small logs gradually.
Ensure the chimney is clean and unobstructed. Check that the air vents are open and the door seals are intact. Consider weather conditions that might affect the draft.
Clean the ash pan regularly, ideally after every use if burning for extended periods. This helps maintain proper airflow and efficiency.
Use well-seasoned hardwood logs or smokeless coal. Avoid using softwoods or wet fuels as they can cause excessive smoke and creosote buildup.
Regularly clean the glass with a soft cloth and stove glass cleaner. For tough stains, use a damp cloth dipped in ash to lightly scrub the glass.
Annually, inspect and clean the chimney, check door seals for wear, and ensure the air vents operate smoothly. Consider having a professional service the stove.
Ensure regular cleaning, use dry and seasoned wood, and maintain proper airflow by adjusting the vents. A flue thermometer can help monitor performance.
If the stove overheats, close the air vents to reduce oxygen supply and allow it to cool. Avoid adding more fuel until it returns to a safe temperature.
Burn only dry, seasoned wood and maintain a hot, clean-burning fire. Regularly inspect and clean the chimney to prevent creosote accumulation.
Store wood in a dry, ventilated area for at least six months to ensure it is well-seasoned. Keep it off the ground and covered to protect it from moisture.
