FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How often should I have my chimney swept?
At least once a year. If you use your stove more than three times a week on
average, have your chimney swept more often. Have the chimney swept by a
recognised company
. Your fi re insurance policy may make this a condition and
ask for proof.
What is the difference between net capacity, gross capacity and effi ciency?
Net capacity (= Nominal output) represents the net amount of heat that the
appliance generates.
The total heat content of the fuel is the so called gross capacity.
Effi ciency is the percentage of fuel converted into useful heat. It is the ratio of
net capacity and gross capacity.
How can I keep the glass clean?
By making a point of using dry, clean wood in the stove. Wood that is too damp
immediately gives off lots of ash.
Make sure the seals are in good working order. Any air seeping out around the
glass part of the door will cool the air, resulting in the fi re not burning cleanly.
Can a wood-burning stove/fi replace insert be connected to a central
heating installation?
The Barbas range does not have any stoves/fi res that can be connected to
central heating installations. W
e do not advise attempting it!!
How do I know if I’m heating correctly?
Follow the instructions in this manual.
The fl ames should play softly across the wood and the wood should burn evenly.
Once the fi re has been burning for a short time, the smoke from the chimney
should be almost translucent.
