To light the Henley Stoves Elcombe Stove, start by opening the air controls fully. Place some crumpled newspaper and kindling wood on the grate. Light the paper, and once the kindling is burning well, add small logs. Gradually increase the size of the logs as the fire establishes.
To clean the glass, allow the stove to cool completely. Use a damp cloth with a bit of ash from the stove or a stove glass cleaner. Avoid using abrasive materials that may scratch the glass.
Regular maintenance should be performed at least once a year. This includes cleaning the chimney, checking seals, and inspecting the stove for any signs of wear or damage.
Check the air vents to ensure they are not blocked and are operating correctly. Also, inspect the chimney for any blockages or buildup. Ensure you are using dry, seasoned wood for optimal efficiency.
The Elcombe Stove is primarily designed for wood burning. Refer to your user manual to see if smokeless coal is permitted, as using the wrong fuel type can damage the stove.
Ensure the chimney is not blocked and that the room has adequate ventilation. Check that the stove doors are closed properly and that the gaskets are intact.
Regularly clean and maintain the stove, ensure you’re using the correct type of fuel, and avoid overloading the stove with wood. Annual professional inspections can also help prolong its lifespan.
Some noise is normal as the metal components expand with heat. However, if the noise is excessive or unusual, it may be worth having the stove checked by a professional.
Use dry, seasoned hardwood such as oak, ash, or beech. Avoid using softwoods or wood that has been painted, treated, or contains nails and other metal objects.
Start with the air controls fully open when lighting the stove. Once the fire is established, gradually reduce the air supply to maintain a steady burn without smothering the fire. Adjust as needed based on heat output and fuel type.
