To install the Clarke 6909910 Mayfair Classic Steel Stove, ensure the stove is placed on a non-combustible surface. Maintain a safe distance from combustible materials as specified in the user manual. Connect the stove to a suitable flue, ensuring all joints are sealed properly. Consult a professional installer if necessary.
Open the air vents fully and place crumpled newspaper or firelighters on the grate. Add kindling wood on top. Light the newspaper or firelighters and allow the kindling to catch fire before adding larger logs. Gradually close the vents as the fire becomes established.
Use well-seasoned wood with a moisture content below 20%. Adjust the air vents to control the burn rate and ensure a consistent supply of air. Regularly remove ash buildup to maintain airflow.
Blackened glass may indicate incomplete combustion or using wet wood. Clean the glass with a stove glass cleaner. Ensure that you are using dry wood and adjust the air vents to allow more air into the firebox.
It is recommended to clean the chimney and flue at least once a year. More frequent cleaning might be necessary depending on the frequency of use and type of fuel burned.
The Clarke 6909910 Mayfair Classic Steel Stove is designed for burning wood logs and smokeless fuels. Avoid using household waste, treated wood, or any materials not specified in the user manual.
Poor draft can be due to a blocked chimney, incorrect flue height, or adverse weather conditions. Check for obstructions and ensure the flue is of adequate height. Consult a professional if necessary.
Reduce the amount of fuel being burned and close the air vents gradually. Ensure the air supply is controlled to prevent excessive heat. If overheating persists, contact the manufacturer or a professional technician.
Regularly clean the stove using a dry cloth and apply a stove polish or high-temperature paint to protect the surface. Ensure the room is well-ventilated to prevent moisture buildup.
Regularly check and clean the air vents, firebox, and ashpan. Inspect door seals for wear and replace if necessary. Schedule annual servicing by a qualified technician to ensure safe and efficient operation.
