4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Fuel Type
The Prity AW16 is designed for burning solid fuels, specifically dry wood or wood briquettes. Do not use liquid fuels, trash, or treated wood, as this can damage the stove and pose a safety hazard.
4.2 Loading Fuel
Open the main door using the wooden handle. Place dry wood or briquettes onto the cast iron grate. Avoid overfilling the combustion chamber. Close the door securely before igniting or adjusting air controls.
4.3 Air Control
The stove features a front damper to control the primary air supply to the combustion chamber. Adjust this damper to regulate the intensity of the fire. For initial ignition, keep the damper fully open. Once the fire is established, you can reduce the air supply to achieve a slower burn.
4.4 Flame Intensity
A smoke damper is provided to further adjust the flame intensity and control the rate at which exhaust gases leave the combustion chamber. Use this in conjunction with the front air damper to optimize burning efficiency and heat output.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
- Ash Removal: Regularly remove ash from the ash pan beneath the cast iron grate. Ensure the stove is completely cool before handling ash.
- Glass Cleaning: The ceramic glass can be cleaned when cool using a specialized fireplace glass cleaner or a damp cloth dipped in ash.
- Flue and Chimney: Have your flue and chimney inspected and cleaned by a qualified professional at least once a year, or more frequently depending on usage.
5.2 Inspection
Periodically inspect the stove for any signs of wear or damage, including:
- Cracks in the ceramic glass.
- Damage to the door seals.
- Loose or damaged components (dampers, handles).
- Corrosion or damage to the water jacket connections.
Any damaged parts should be replaced immediately by a qualified technician.
6. Troubleshooting
This section provides general guidance for common issues. For complex problems, consult a qualified technician.
- Poor Draft/Smoke Backflow: Check for chimney blockages, ensure dampers are open, and verify proper chimney height and insulation.
- Low Heat Output: Ensure you are using dry, seasoned wood. Check air damper settings and ensure the combustion chamber is not overfilled. Verify water jacket connections are functioning correctly if connected to central heating.
- Excessive Burn Rate: Adjust the front air damper and smoke damper to reduce air supply. Ensure door seals are intact.
