To light a fire in the Charnwood Country 6, start by placing kindling wood and a firelighter on the grate, then lay a few small logs on top. Open the air controls fully before igniting the firelighter. Once the kindling is burning well, add larger logs and adjust the air controls to maintain a steady burn.
Excessive smoke can be reduced by ensuring the wood is well-seasoned and dry, the stove is cleaned regularly, and the chimney is clear. Additionally, check that the air vents are open enough to provide adequate airflow.
Routine maintenance for the Charnwood Country 6 includes regularly cleaning the glass, removing ash from the ashpan, checking and sweeping the chimney, and inspecting seals and gaskets for wear or damage.
It is recommended to have the chimney swept at least twice a year: once before the start of the burning season and once during. More frequent sweeping may be necessary if the stove is used regularly.
Blackened glass is often caused by burning wet wood or inadequate air supply. Clean the glass with a suitable stove glass cleaner once cooled, ensure the wood is dry, and increase the air supply for a more efficient burn.
The Charnwood Country 6 is designed to burn wood and smokeless fuels. Burning coal is not recommended as it can damage the stove and void the warranty. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for approved fuels.
If the stove is not drawing properly, check for blockages in the chimney or flue, ensure the room is adequately ventilated, and verify that the air controls are correctly set. You may also need to check the weather conditions, as low pressure can affect the draw.
To replace the rope seal, first, remove the old rope and clean the channel. Apply a thin bead of stove rope adhesive in the groove, then press the new rope seal firmly into place. Allow the adhesive to cure as per the manufacturer's instructions before using the stove.
Hardwoods such as oak, ash, and beech are ideal for burning in the Charnwood Country 6 as they provide a long-lasting and efficient heat output. Ensure the wood is well-seasoned and has a moisture content below 20%.
Safety precautions include installing a carbon monoxide detector, using a fireguard, ensuring the stove is installed by a qualified professional, regularly checking for blockages, and never leaving the stove unattended while burning.
