To ignite the stove, first ensure the air controls are fully open. Place kindling wood and a couple of firelighters on the grate, then light the firelighters. Once the kindling is well alight, add larger pieces of wood or solid fuel gradually until a steady fire is established.
Ensure the chimney is clean and unobstructed. Check that the air vents are fully open and that there is adequate ventilation in the room. Cold weather can cause poor draw, so pre-warming the flue with a lit paper may help.
The stove should be cleaned regularly, at least once a week during heavy use. The flue system should be inspected and swept at least twice a year to prevent soot build-up and ensure safe operation.
Regularly clean the glass with a soft cloth and stove glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the surface. Ensure the glass seals are intact and replace them if they show signs of wear.
Use well-seasoned wood with a moisture content below 20%. Ensure that the air controls are adjusted to maintain a vigorous flame without excessive smoke, and keep the stove and flue clean.
The stove is designed to burn wood and smokeless fuels. Avoid using treated wood, plastic, or household waste, as they can damage the stove and flue system.
Ensure that the air controls are not left fully open for prolonged periods. Overfiring can damage the stove and void the warranty. Monitor the stove’s temperature using a stove thermometer.
Check for blockages in the flue and ensure all seals are intact. If the problem persists, cease use immediately and contact a professional stove technician for inspection.
Start with the primary and secondary air controls fully open when lighting the stove. Once a steady fire is established, gradually close the primary air control and use the secondary control to maintain the desired flame intensity.
Ensure the stove is installed by a qualified professional in compliance with local building regulations. Maintain safe clearances from combustible materials and ensure adequate ventilation in the installation area.
