To ignite the Henley Stoves BIO 80, open the air control fully, place dry kindling wood and firelighters on the grate, and light them. Once the kindling is burning well, add small logs gradually and adjust the air control to regulate the fire.
To clean the glass, wait until the stove has cooled, then use a stove glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials to prevent scratching. Regular cleaning will prevent buildup of soot.
It is recommended to inspect and clean the flue at least once a year to ensure there are no blockages and to maintain efficient operation. More frequent checks may be necessary depending on usage.
Ensure that the air controls are set correctly, the wood is dry and seasoned, and the stove is not overloaded. Check for any blockages in the flue or air inlets that might be restricting airflow.
The Henley Stoves BIO 80 is designed primarily for wood burning. Burning coal or other unauthorized fuels can damage the stove and void the warranty. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines.
Regularly clean the stove and flue, use only seasoned hardwood, and ensure seals and air controls are functioning properly. Routine professional inspections can also help maintain efficiency.
Signs of creosote buildup include reduced draft, a noticeable tar-like odor, and black soot on the chimney cap or top. Regular inspection and cleaning can prevent creosote accumulation.
Smoke can spill into the room if the air control is not opened fully before opening the door or if there is inadequate draft in the chimney. Check for blockages and ensure proper ventilation.
Use dry, seasoned hardwoods such as oak, ash, or beech for optimal performance. Avoid softwoods and wet or green wood, as they burn inefficiently and produce more smoke.
Ensure that the air inlets are clear and unobstructed. Adjust the air controls properly and consider having your chimney inspected for blockages or drafting issues.
