To light a fire, start by placing kindling wood and a firelighter at the base of the stove. Open the air control fully to allow maximum airflow. Light the firelighter and let the kindling catch fire before adding larger logs. Once the fire is established, adjust the air control for optimal burning.
Use a damp cloth with a bit of ash from the stove to gently rub away soot from the glass. Alternatively, use a stove glass cleaner. Always clean when the stove is cool to avoid cracking the glass.
Ensure that the wood used is well-seasoned and has a moisture content below 20%. Regularly clean the stove and flue to prevent blockages. Adjust the air control to maintain a steady burn and avoid overloading the firebox.
Check that the chimney is not blocked and that there is sufficient ventilation in the room. Ensure that the flue is the correct diameter and height. It may also help to pre-warm the flue by lighting a piece of newspaper at the entrance.
It's recommended to have your Charnwood Cove 2 MKII serviced annually by a professional to ensure safe and efficient operation. Regular maintenance includes checking seals, cleaning the flue, and inspecting components for wear and tear.
The stove is designed to burn wood logs and smokeless fuels. Avoid using treated wood, plastics, or household waste as they can damage the stove and produce harmful emissions.
Smoke may enter the room if the stove's flue is blocked or if there is a downdraft. Ensure the flue is clear and there is adequate ventilation. Open the stove door slowly to prevent drawing smoke into the room.
Regulate the amount of fuel and adjust the air control to prevent excessive heat. Avoid overloading the stove with wood and ensure that the airflow is not fully shut off during burning.
Allow the ash to cool completely before disposal. Ash can be used as a garden fertilizer or disposed of in a metal container. Never dispose of hot ash in plastic bins or near flammable materials.
To replace the door seal, remove the old seal and clean the groove. Measure and cut a new rope seal to size, apply stove adhesive to the groove, and press the new seal into place. Allow it to set before using the stove.
