To light the Charnwood SLX45MKII stove, arrange kindling wood and newspaper or firelighters in the firebox. Open the air controls completely and ignite the kindling. Once the kindling is burning well, add larger logs and adjust the air controls for optimal combustion.
If the stove glass becomes dirty, allow the stove to cool completely. Use a damp cloth and stove glass cleaner to gently wipe away soot and deposits. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the glass.
Regular maintenance should be performed at least once a year. This includes checking the seals, cleaning the flue system, inspecting for any wear or damage, and ensuring all parts operate smoothly.
The Charnwood SLX45MKII is designed to burn seasoned hardwood logs and smokeless fuels. Ensure that logs are well-seasoned to reduce moisture content and increase efficiency.
If the stove is not producing enough heat, check that the air controls are set correctly and that the fuel is dry and well-seasoned. Additionally, ensure the flue is clear of obstructions and that the stove has adequate ventilation.
To prevent smoking, make sure the chimney is clean and not blocked. Use dry, seasoned wood, and ensure that the air vents are open to allow proper airflow. Additionally, check that the room is not airtight, which can restrict the chimney draft.
If the stove is difficult to light, ensure that the chimney is drawing properly and there’s no blockage. Use dry kindling and paper, and preheat the flue by lighting a rolled-up newspaper and holding it in the firebox.
To adjust the air controls, start with them fully open when lighting the stove. Once the fire is established, gradually reduce the primary air to control the burn rate and use the secondary air to maintain clean combustion.
If you smell smoke, check that the chimney is clear and the room has adequate ventilation. Ensure the stove door is properly sealed and inspect the flue for any leaks. If the problem persists, consult a professional.
To increase efficiency, use dry, seasoned wood and maintain regular cleaning of the stove and chimney. Adjust the air controls correctly and ensure the stove is properly installed with an appropriate flue system.
