To light the Charnwood Cranmore 7 stove, start by opening the air control fully. Place some kindling wood and a firelighter in the center of the stove. Light the firelighter and close the door, leaving it slightly ajar to allow air to flow. Once the kindling is well-lit, add larger logs and adjust the air control for desired burn rate.
It is recommended to have your Charnwood Cranmore 7 stove serviced annually by a qualified technician. Regularly clean the stove, including the glass, ash pan, and flue pipe. Check door seals and replace if necessary. Inspect for any signs of wear or damage.
Ensure that the chimney is clean and unobstructed. Check that the air controls are functioning correctly and are not blocked. Inspect the flue for any leaks or damage. Consider the outside weather conditions, as they can affect draft. If issues persist, consult with a professional chimney sweep.
Use well-seasoned hardwood logs with a moisture content below 20% for optimal performance. Avoid using treated wood, painted wood, or any wood with high moisture content as these can cause excessive smoke and tar buildup.
To clean the glass, ensure the stove is cool. Use a soft cloth and a specialized stove glass cleaner or a vinegar-water solution. Avoid using abrasive materials that may scratch the glass. Regular cleaning will prevent buildup and maintain clear visibility.
To increase heat output, ensure the air control is set correctly for a higher burn rate. Use dry, seasoned wood for efficient combustion. Keep the stove and flue clean to allow optimal airflow. Ensure the room is properly insulated to retain heat.
If smoke enters the room, check that the chimney is not blocked and that the air controls are open. Ensure the stove door is closed properly. It may also help to pre-heat the flue by burning kindling before adding larger logs. If the problem persists, consult a professional.
To adjust for longer burning times, partially close the air control once the fire is established and the stove is up to temperature. Reducing the airflow will slow the burn rate and allow for extended burning. Experiment to find the optimal setting for your needs.
The Charnwood Cranmore 7 is primarily designed for burning wood. If you intend to burn coal, ensure the stove is fitted with a suitable grate and follow the manufacturer's guidelines. Always use smokeless coal to reduce emissions and deposits.
Signs that your stove may need servicing include difficulty in lighting, poor heat output, excessive smoke, soot buildup, and abnormal noises. Regular servicing will help maintain efficiency and safety. If you notice any of these issues, contact a professional technician.
