To install the Henley Stoves Severn 4kW Heater, ensure that it is placed on a non-combustible surface with adequate clearance from walls. Follow the manufacturer's installation guide, ensuring proper ventilation and connection to a suitable flue system. If unsure, it is recommended to hire a certified professional.
Begin by placing kindling and newspaper in the center of the stove. Light the newspaper and allow the kindling to catch fire. Gradually add larger pieces of wood once the kindling is burning well. Ensure the air vents are open to facilitate airflow.
To maintain efficiency, regularly clean the stove and remove ash build-up. Use dry, seasoned wood to ensure optimal combustion and minimize creosote accumulation in the chimney. Check and clean the air vents regularly.
If the stove smokes excessively, check if the flue is blocked or if there is insufficient ventilation. Ensure the wood used is dry and seasoned. Also, inspect if the air vents are open and clear of obstructions.
The chimney should be cleaned at least once a year to prevent creosote build-up and ensure proper draft. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on usage and type of wood burned.
Signs that the stove needs servicing include difficulty in lighting the fire, poor heat output, excessive smoke, unusual noises, and visible damage to the stove body or components.
The Henley Stoves Severn 4kW Heater is designed primarily for wood burning. Using coal may void the warranty and could damage the stove. Refer to the user manual for fuel recommendations.
Adjust the air intake by using the control knobs or levers located on the stove. Opening the vents increases airflow and combustion, while closing them reduces the burn rate. Find the right balance for efficient combustion and heat output.
Ensure that the stove is installed correctly and operated according to the manual. Keep flammable materials away from the stove and supervise children and pets around it. Regularly inspect for damage or wear.
To prevent the glass from blackening, use well-seasoned wood and ensure proper airflow by keeping the air vents open. Regularly clean the glass using a stove glass cleaner when the stove is cool.
