To light your Henley Stoves Avon Stove, first ensure the air vents are fully open. Place kindling on the grate and light it with a match or lighter. Once the kindling is burning well, add small logs gradually. Close the door once the fire is established.
Check if the chimney is blocked or needs cleaning. Ensure the air vents are open and the room is adequately ventilated. If issues persist, consult a professional chimney sweep.
Clean the glass door regularly, ideally once a week, to prevent soot buildup. Use a stove glass cleaner and a soft cloth for best results. Ensure the glass is cool before cleaning.
Use well-seasoned hardwood like oak, ash, or beech for optimal burning efficiency. The moisture content of the wood should be below 20% for best results.
To increase efficiency, use dry, seasoned wood, maintain proper airflow by adjusting vents, and ensure regular cleaning of the stove and chimney.
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that might damage the finish. Regular dusting will also help maintain its appearance.
Ensure all doors and seals are intact and properly closed. Check the chimney for obstructions and ensure it's clean. If the problem persists, consult a professional.
Burn only dry, seasoned wood and ensure the fire burns hot enough. Regularly clean the chimney to prevent creosote accumulation.
The Avon Stove is designed primarily for wood burning. Refer to the user manual or consult the manufacturer to see if specific types of smokeless coal are suitable.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the interior and exterior of the stove, inspecting and cleaning the chimney annually, and checking seals and gaskets for wear.
