Charnwood Cove 1 MKII Parts List

Start by placing some crumpled newspaper at the base of the stove. Add a few small pieces of kindling on top, leaving enough space for air flow. Light the newspaper and allow the kindling to catch fire before adding larger logs. Ensure the air control is fully open during this process to promote a robust flame.
If the glass becomes sooty, it may be due to insufficient air flow or using damp wood. Clean the glass with a stove glass cleaner when it is cool. Ensure you are using seasoned wood and adjust the air control to improve combustion efficiency.
It is recommended to have your flue cleaned at least once a year, or more frequently if you use your stove heavily. Regular cleaning helps prevent chimney fires and ensures efficient stove operation.
The Charnwood Cove 1 MKII is designed to burn well-seasoned hardwood logs. These should have a moisture content of less than 20% for optimal performance. Avoid burning treated wood, painted wood, or household waste.
To improve heat output, ensure the air vents are properly adjusted for maximum air flow and use well-seasoned hardwood. Consider using a stove thermometer to maintain efficient burning temperatures.
Smoke emission can be caused by poor chimney draft or a blockage. Ensure the flue is clean and check for any obstructions. Verify that the room is well-ventilated. If the problem persists, consult with a professional installer.
The air control on the Charnwood Cove 1 MKII is typically located at the front of the stove. Slide or turn the control to increase or decrease the air flow, which helps regulate the burn rate and temperature.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the glass, emptying ash, inspecting and cleaning the flue, checking seals and gaskets, and ensuring air vents are unobstructed. Perform these tasks at least once a month during periods of regular use.
Creosote buildup can be minimized by burning dry, seasoned wood and maintaining proper air flow. If buildup occurs, use a chimney brush to clean the flue or hire a professional chimney sweep for thorough cleaning.
It is generally safe to leave the stove unattended if it is installed correctly and burning properly. However, ensure that the air controls are set properly and that the area around the stove is clear of flammable materials. Always follow the manufacturer's safety guidelines.
