General Safety
Adequate ventilation
Check the ventilation requirement for your stove and ensure existing vents are not blocked or covered. If you have double glazing install an air vent in the room.
Regular cleaning and sweeping
If burning coal, the ash pan should be
checked and emptied every day.
If burning wood leave a one inch layer of ash in the firebox after each burn.
The throat plate should be removed and cleaned each month.
The chimney should be swept quarterly when in use or as recommended by your chimney sweep.
Correct fuel
Use only well-seasoned good quality wood with a moisture content below 20%.
