To light the Clarke Parlour Stove, ensure the air vents are open, place kindling and small logs inside, and use a match or lighter to ignite. Gradually add larger logs as the fire establishes.
Regularly clean ash from the stove, inspect and clean the chimney annually, and check seals and gaskets for wear. Replace any damaged parts as needed.
Ensure the air vents are not blocked, check for chimney obstructions, and use seasoned wood. If problems persist, inspect the door seals for leaks.
Use seasoned hardwoods like oak, maple, or ash. Avoid softwoods and unseasoned wood as they produce less heat and more creosote.
Allow the stove to cool completely, then use a specialized stove glass cleaner or a damp cloth with ash to gently clean the glass. Avoid abrasive materials.
Check for chimney blockages, ensure the flue is open, and confirm that the room has adequate ventilation. Consider having the chimney inspected if the issue persists.
Use larger logs and fully open the air vents when starting the fire, then adjust to a lower setting once the fire is established to control the burn rate.
Burn only seasoned hardwood, maintain a hot fire, and have your chimney inspected and cleaned annually to prevent creosote buildup.
Install a carbon monoxide detector, use a fireguard, keep flammable materials away from the stove, and never leave the fire unattended.
Remove the old gasket by pulling it out and cleaning the channel. Apply high-temperature adhesive and press the new gasket firmly into place. Allow it to set before using the stove.
