Clarke 6910108 Victoria 2 Eco-Design Ready Woodburning User Guide

To properly light a fire, start with dry kindling and some newspaper. Place them on the grate, then light the paper. Once the kindling is burning well, add small logs and gradually increase the size as the fire builds. Ensure the air vents are open for maximum airflow during ignition.

Allow the stove to cool completely. Use a soft cloth and a specialized stove glass cleaner. Alternatively, you can use a mixture of vinegar and water. Avoid using abrasive materials that can scratch the glass.

Empty the ash pan regularly, ideally every time you start a new fire. This ensures proper airflow and prevents the buildup of excess ash which can impede performance.

Use well-seasoned hardwoods like oak, ash, or beech. These woods burn hotter and longer, providing efficient heat output. Avoid using softwoods or wet wood as they produce more smoke and less heat.

Excessive smoke can be due to wet wood, a blocked chimney, or insufficient airflow. Ensure your chimney is clean and unobstructed, and that the air vents are open. Always use dry, seasoned wood.

Ensure regular maintenance, including chimney sweeping and cleaning the stove's components. Use well-seasoned wood and maintain a steady, hot fire for optimal efficiency.

Regularly clean the glass door, empty the ash pan, and check the seals around the door and glass. Have the chimney swept annually to prevent soot buildup.

No, the Clarke Victoria 2 is designed specifically for burning wood. Burning coal can damage the stove and void any warranties.

Burn only dry, seasoned wood and maintain a hot fire to reduce creosote buildup. Regularly inspect and clean the chimney to prevent accumulation.

Ensure the wood is dry and properly seasoned. Check that the air vents are open to allow adequate ventilation. Also, avoid overloading the stove with large logs at the start.
