To ignite the stove, first ensure that the air control is fully open. Place small pieces of dry kindling wood in the firebox and ignite them with a match or lighter. Once the kindling is burning well, gradually add larger pieces of wood.
Excessive smoke can be caused by wet or unseasoned wood, poor ventilation, or a closed air vent. Ensure you are using dry, seasoned wood, check that the chimney is clean and unobstructed, and make sure the air vent is open when starting a fire.
It is recommended to clean the chimney at least once a year. More frequent cleaning may be necessary if you use the stove regularly or burn resinous woods.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the stove and chimney, checking and replacing door seals if necessary, and inspecting the baffle plate and fire bricks for damage.
Blackening of the glass can occur due to poor combustion. Ensure you're using dry, seasoned wood, maintain a strong fire, and keep the air control open for adequate airflow.
To improve efficiency, ensure your stove is properly installed, use dry and seasoned wood, maintain good airflow, and regularly clean the stove and chimney to prevent blockages.
This model is primarily designed for burning wood. Refer to the user manual or consult the manufacturer before using coal or any other type of fuel.
Check if the wood is dry and seasoned, ensure the air controls are correctly set, and inspect the chimney for blockages. It might also be necessary to adjust the amount of wood used or the way it's stacked in the firebox.
To safely extinguish the fire, close the air controls to reduce oxygen supply, and let the fire burn out naturally. Do not use water to extinguish the fire as it can cause damage to the stove.
Store wood in a dry, well-ventilated area, preferably off the ground and covered to protect from rain. Ensure the wood is adequately seasoned, which typically means storing it for at least six months to a year.
