To start a fire, place crumpled newspaper and kindling in a crisscross pattern inside the stove. Light the paper and add larger pieces of wood gradually as the fire establishes. Ensure the air control is fully open to maximize airflow.
Check if the chimney is blocked or if the air inlets are clogged. Ensure there is sufficient height and diameter in the chimney to create a proper draft. Cold weather can also affect draft; preheat the flue if necessary.
Remove ash when it begins to impede airflow from the combustion chamber. It’s recommended to clean the ash once a week or after every five to ten burns, depending on usage.
Regularly check the gaskets for wear and replace them if necessary. Clean the glass with a non-abrasive cleaner and inspect the stove for any cracks or damage annually.
Ensure you are using seasoned wood and maintaining a hot fire to reduce soot buildup. Also, keep the air control fully open for the first few minutes when starting the fire.
Use dry, seasoned hardwood such as oak, maple, or ash. Avoid burning softwoods as they produce more creosote and require more frequent cleaning.
Ensure the stove door is closed properly and check for any blockages in the flue. Also, verify that the room has adequate air supply to prevent negative pressure, which can cause smoke to enter the room.
Use a soft cloth with a stove glass cleaner. Avoid using abrasive materials or chemicals. For stubborn stains, a solution of vinegar and water can be effective.
Reduce the airflow by adjusting the air control and ensure the stove is not overloaded with wood. If the problem persists, check if the door seals are intact and not allowing excess air into the stove.
Yes, the Jotul F 45 Greenville Stove is a non-electric wood stove, so it can be used during a power outage as long as there is proper ventilation.
