Operating instructions
IMPORTANT NOTES
Now that your AGA Solid Fuel Stove is installed and no doubt you are looking forward to many
comforts it will provide, we would like to give you some tips on how to get the best results from
your stove.
1. We would like if you could take some time to read the operating instructions/hints, which we are
confident, will be of great benefit to you.
2. Do not burn fuel with a high moisture content, such as a damp peat or unseasoned timber.
This will only result in a build up of tar in the stove and in the chimney.
3. Clean the flue-ways of the stove regularly and ensure that there are no blockages. Check flue
ways before lighting especially after a shut down period.
4. Before loading fresh fuel into the firebox, riddle fully to remove all ashes, this will allow better and
cleaner burning. See Re-Fuelling Section Page 10.
5. Never allow a build up of ashes in the ash pan, as this will cause the grate to burn out prema-
turely.
6. Avoid slow burning of damp or unseasoned fuel as this will result in tarring flue ways and chim-
ney i.e. peat or timber.
7. Allow adequate air ventilation to ensure plenty of air for combustion.
8. Do not use as an incinerator burning rubbish/household waste.
9. Do not leave fire door open for long periods as this will over heat the unit causing unnecessary
damage.
10. Clean the chimney at least twice a year.
11. Burning soft fuels such as timber and peat will stain the glass. Regular cleaning will prevent per-
manent staining.
12. Keep all combustible materials a safe distance away from unit, please see Installation Clearances
Page 5.
13. For safety reasons never leave children or the elderly unaccompanied while stove is in use. Use
a fire guard.
14. Avoid contact with the appliance when in use as stove reaches very high operating tempera-
tures.
15. This appliance should be regularly maintained by a competent service engineer. Use only
replacement parts recommended by AGA. Making unauthorised modifications, or using unautho-
rised parts will invalidate your guarantee and may cause damage or injury.
