To install the Clarke 6910132 Wentworth 2 Cast Iron Stove, ensure it is placed on a non-combustible surface away from flammable materials. Use a certified professional to connect the stove to a chimney that meets local building codes.
Start by placing crumpled newspaper or fire starters at the bottom, then add kindling on top. Light the paper and allow the kindling to catch fire before adding larger logs. Ensure the air vents are open to facilitate airflow.
The Clarke 6910132 Wentworth 2 Cast Iron Stove is designed to burn seasoned hardwood logs. Avoid using treated wood, painted wood, or non-wood materials as they can damage the stove and produce harmful emissions.
Clean the stove regularly, ideally after every use. Remove ash from the firebox once it cools down, and clean the glass door with a suitable cleaner to maintain visibility. Perform a thorough cleaning at least once a month.
Ensure that the air vents are fully open and check that the chimney is clear of obstructions. Also, verify that only dry, seasoned wood is being used, as wet wood can significantly reduce heat output.
To improve efficiency, use well-seasoned hardwood, maintain a clean stove and chimney, and ensure the door seals are intact to prevent air leaks. Consider adding a stove fan to distribute heat more evenly.
Smoke can escape when the door is opened if the chimney draft is insufficient. Check for blockages in the chimney and ensure the stove is properly vented. Opening the door slowly can also help minimize smoke spillage.
Regularly inspect and replace the door gasket if worn, clean the glass and firebox, and have the chimney inspected and swept annually. Use only recommended fuels to prevent damage to the stove components.
Ensure adequate airflow by keeping the air vents open and using dry, seasoned wood. A hot fire helps to keep the glass clean. Wipe the glass with a specialized stove glass cleaner when needed.
The Clarke 6910132 Wentworth 2 is primarily designed for heating. While it may be possible to warm food on the top surface, it is not recommended for cooking purposes due to uneven heat distribution.
