To install the Henley Stoves Dalewood Heater, ensure it is placed on a non-combustible surface, maintain clearances as per the manual, and connect it to a suitable flue system. It is recommended to have a certified professional complete the installation.
Start by placing kindling wood and firelighters in the stove. Open the air vents to allow maximum airflow. Light the firelighters and gradually add larger wood pieces as the fire establishes. Ensure the door is slightly ajar to enhance airflow until the fire is burning well.
It is advisable to clean the ash from the heater after every few uses to ensure efficient combustion and airflow. Always ensure the ash is completely cool before disposal.
If the glass becomes dirty, clean it with a damp cloth and ash from the stove for mild soot. For more stubborn stains, use a specialized stove glass cleaner. Ensure the glass is cool before cleaning.
Excessive smoke may be due to poor quality or damp wood, insufficient airflow, or a blocked chimney. Ensure you're using seasoned wood, check the air vents, and inspect the chimney for any blockages.
To prevent creosote buildup, use only dry, seasoned wood, maintain proper airflow, and have your chimney inspected and cleaned regularly by a professional.
During the off-season, clean the stove thoroughly, including the flue and chimney. Check for any signs of wear or damage, and store the stove in a dry, covered area if it's not permanently installed.
Insufficient heat may result from using poor quality fuel, blocked air vents, or an improperly sized stove for the space. Ensure proper fuel, clean the vents, and verify the stove's capacity matches your room size.
To maximize efficiency, use seasoned hardwood, maintain clean air vents, and operate the stove at a higher temperature to reduce creosote formation and improve combustion.
If the door isn't sealing, check the condition of the door gasket and replace it if necessary. Ensure the door latch is adjusted correctly for a snug fit.
