To install the Clarke 6909912 Malvern Stove, ensure it is placed on a non-combustible hearth with adequate clearance from any combustible materials. Secure the flue pipe according to the manufacturer's instructions and check local building codes for compliance.
Begin by placing small kindling and newspaper at the base of the stove. Light the paper and allow the kindling to catch fire before adding larger logs. Ensure the air vents are open to facilitate proper airflow.
Regularly clean the glass with a stove glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Ensure the stove is cool before cleaning. Using well-seasoned wood will also help reduce soot accumulation.
Check if the flue is blocked and ensure that the air vents are open. It also helps to preheat the flue by burning a small amount of kindling before adding larger logs.
It is recommended to have the stove and flue inspected and cleaned at least once a year by a professional to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines. Some models are designed for multi-fuel use, including coal, while others are intended for wood only.
Start with the air vents fully open to ignite the fire, then gradually close them to maintain a steady burn. Adjust based on the desired heat output and fuel type.
Ensure that the flue is not obstructed and that there is adequate ventilation in the room. Consider whether the weather conditions are affecting the draft and adjust the air vents accordingly.
Use well-seasoned hardwoods like oak or maple for the best results. Avoid softwoods or treated woods, as they can produce excess creosote and reduce efficiency.
Close the air vents completely to slow down the burning process. Do not use water to extinguish the fire, as it can damage the stove. Allow the fire to burn out naturally.
