To ignite a fire, start by opening the air vents fully. Place crumpled newspaper or fire starters in the stove, and layer small kindling on top. Light the newspaper and gradually add larger wood pieces as the fire builds, ensuring proper airflow is maintained.
To clean the glass door, wait until the stove is completely cool. Use a soft cloth and a stove glass cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the glass.
It is recommended to inspect and clean the chimney at least once a year, preferably before the start of the heating season, to prevent creosote buildup and ensure efficient operation.
The stove is designed for burning seasoned hardwood with a moisture content of 20% or less. Avoid using treated wood, driftwood, or non-wood materials to prevent damage and emissions issues.
To maximize heat output, ensure the stove is installed properly, use seasoned wood, maintain optimal airflow by keeping vents adjusted, and regularly clean the stove and chimney.
If smoke is leaking, check for blockages in the chimney, ensure the stove door is sealed properly, and that the air vents are adjusted correctly. If the issue persists, contact a professional technician.
Routine maintenance includes regular cleaning of the stove interior, checking and replacing door seals if necessary, inspecting the chimney, and ensuring the air vents operate smoothly.
To prevent creosote buildup, use only dry, seasoned wood, maintain a brisk burn rate, and ensure adequate airflow. Regular chimney inspections and cleanings are also crucial.
Ensure that the wood is dry and properly seasoned, the air vents are open enough to allow sufficient oxygen, and that the chimney is clear of any blockages.
Always use a stove thermometer to monitor temperatures, install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, keep combustible materials away from the stove, and ensure proper ventilation.
