The ideal fuel types for the AGA Coalbrookdale OS1 Stove are seasoned hardwood, smokeless coal, or anthracite. Avoid using treated or painted wood as it can release harmful chemicals.
It is recommended to clean the flue at least twice a year to prevent soot buildup and ensure proper ventilation. More frequent cleaning may be required if the stove is used extensively.
To light the stove, place kindling and small logs at the base, then use firelighters or paper to ignite. Gradually add larger logs once the fire is established. Ensure the air vents are open for optimal airflow.
To improve efficiency, ensure the stove is regularly maintained, use dry, seasoned wood, and maintain a consistent burning temperature. Using a stove thermometer can help monitor and optimize performance.
If smoke leaks from the stove, check for blockages in the chimney, ensure the stove door seals are intact, and verify that the air vents are not obstructed. If the issue persists, consult a professional.
To replace the glass, first ensure the stove is cool. Remove the door by unscrewing the hinges, then carefully replace the damaged glass with a new, heat-resistant panel. Reattach the door securely.
Regularly inspect and clean the air vents to ensure they are free of ash and debris. This helps maintain optimal airflow and combustion efficiency. Lubricate moving parts as needed.
To prevent creosote buildup, use dry, seasoned wood, maintain a hot fire to ensure complete combustion, and clean the chimney regularly. Installing a chimney cap can also reduce creosote formation.
Signs that your stove needs servicing include difficulty lighting, reduced heat output, unusual noises during operation, and visible damage or wear. Regular servicing can prevent larger issues.
Store fuel in a dry, well-ventilated area away from the stove to prevent moisture absorption and ensure efficient burning. Keep wood off the ground and covered to protect from rain.
