To light the Henley Stoves Oakwood Stove, ensure the air vents are fully open. Place kindling wood and a firelighter in the center of the stove, then light it. Gradually add larger pieces of wood once the kindling is burning well.
It is recommended to clean the stove at least once a week during regular use. Ensure that ash is removed and the glass is wiped clean. An annual deep clean should be performed by a professional.
If smoke is coming back into the room, check if the chimney is blocked and ensure the air vents are open. It may also help to check the weather conditions, as low pressure can cause downdrafts.
To increase efficiency, use well-seasoned hardwood, ensure the stove is properly sealed, and maintain the chimney regularly to prevent blockages.
Regularly inspect door seals for wear and tear. If they are damaged, replace them to ensure an airtight seal. This helps maintain stove efficiency and safety.
Blackened glass can be cleaned with a stove glass cleaner or a damp cloth dipped in ash. To prevent this, ensure you are burning dry wood and that the air vents are properly adjusted.
The Henley Stoves Oakwood Stove is primarily designed for wood burning. Consult your user manual to see if your specific model can also burn coal, and ensure you use smokeless coal to avoid damaging the stove.
Check the quality of the wood being used, ensure the air vents are not blocked, and verify that the chimney is clear. Also, confirm that the door seals are intact to prevent air leaks.
Store wood in a dry, well-ventilated area. Stack it off the ground and cover the top to protect it from rain while allowing the sides to remain open for airflow.
To prevent rust, keep the stove dry and use a stove polish or paint designed for high temperatures. Regularly inspect the stove for any signs of corrosion and address them promptly.
