Begin by placing crumpled newspaper or firelighters on the grate, followed by kindling. Once the kindling is lit, add small logs gradually as the fire grows.
Use a damp cloth dipped in ash to remove soot, or use a specialized stove glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the glass.
Regular maintenance should be performed at least once a year, including chimney sweeping and checking seals and gaskets for wear.
Use seasoned hardwoods like oak, ash, or beech, as they burn longer and hotter with less creosote buildup compared to softwoods.
Smoke can enter a room if the chimney is blocked, if there is negative pressure, or if the wood is too wet. Ensure proper ventilation and use dry wood.
Ensure the stove is properly sealed, burn well-seasoned wood, and regularly clean the flue and stove components to improve airflow and efficiency.
Check for air leaks, ensure the air vents are open, and verify that the wood is dry and properly seasoned. Consider having the chimney inspected for blockages.
It is not recommended to leave the stove unattended while burning. Ensure the fire is out or smoldering safely before going to bed.
Use the air control levers to adjust the primary and secondary air intake, which helps regulate the fire's intensity and efficiency.
Install a carbon monoxide detector, use a fireguard, keep flammable materials away, and ensure regular maintenance and chimney inspection.
