AGA The Much Wenlock Multi Fuel Instructions

Begin by placing kindling and a firelighter on the grate. Light the firelighter and allow the kindling to catch fire. Gradually add larger pieces of wood or coal to establish a strong flame. Ensure the air vents are open during the lighting process.
The stove is designed for use with seasoned wood, smokeless coal, and peat briquettes. It's important to avoid using inappropriate fuels that could damage the stove or produce excessive smoke.
The ash pan should be emptied regularly, ideally after each use, to prevent ash build-up which can obstruct air flow and reduce stove efficiency.
The chimney should be swept at least twice a year to prevent soot build-up and ensure safe operation. Regular inspections for blockages or damage are also recommended.
Start with the air vents fully open when lighting the stove. Once the fire is established, adjust the vents to control the burn rate and temperature. Closing the vents partially will slow down the burn.
Excessive smoke can be caused by damp wood, blocked chimney, or improper vent settings. Ensure you're using dry, seasoned wood, check for chimney blockages, and adjust vents for better airflow.
The stove is primarily designed for heating, but you can use the top surface for warming food or boiling a kettle, provided you use appropriate cookware.
Ensure good airflow by keeping air vents open and using well-seasoned wood. Regularly clean the glass with a stove glass cleaner or a damp cloth with ash.
Store wood in a dry, well-ventilated area to keep it seasoned. Coal should be stored in a suitable coal bunker, away from moisture, to maintain its efficiency.
Check for blockages in the chimney or air vents, ensure you're using the correct type of fuel, and verify that the fire is receiving adequate air supply. Adjusting these factors should improve heating efficiency.
