My grate has already burned out, why is this?
1)
Burning large amounts of soley anthracite
coal on a continuous basis the grate will
burn out much quicker compared to using
the recommended fuel. We recommend you
a mixture of fuels such as turf, briquettes
smokeless coal and wood.
2)
Not cleaning the grate after every fire will
result in the grate buring out prematurely.
How often should I clean my chimney?
1)
The chimney and the connecting flue pipe
must be swept at least once a year. Ensure
you remove any deposits from the oscillating
grates, the firebox surfaces and the flue collar.
We recommend you clean your chimney twice a
year.
Annual Service
Before the start of the heating season strip,
inspect and clean the appliance using the
following instructions:
• Allow appliance to cool.
• Remove all internal parts: baffle, log guard
and firebricks.
• Take care handling firebricks as they can
become fragile after a period of use.
• Sweep the appliance at this point if
necessary.
• Vacuum clean any remaining ash and
debris from the inside of the appliance.
• Check the parts for any damage.
• Replace any damaged parts using genuine
Henley Stoves replacements parts.
• Check and clean the firebricks with a soft
brush.
• Some surface damage will occur during
use. The life of the bricks will depend on
the type of fuels burnt and the level of use.
• Replace damaged bricks as soon as
possible.
• Re-fit cleaned internal parts.
• On printed glass surfaces, use Glass
Cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners to
remove tar or soot deposits from the glass.
• Fit new door rope seal
• Lightly oil the door catch mechanism and
hinge pins. Avoid getting oil onto the door
seals and glass.
Seasonal Use
Remove the baffle and inspect the inside of
the stove and the flue ways and ensure they
are 100% clear after a period of disuse, for
example if the stove is not used during the
warmer periods of the year.
Also set the air controls half open to keep the
appliance ventilated and stop the build-up of
any moisture inside
.
Ventilation
According to
Building Regulations 2014
for Heat Producing Appliances
,
Any room or space containing an appliance
should have a ventilation opening
(or openings) of at least the size shown below
For appliances designed to burn a range of
different solid fuels the air supply should be
designed to accommodate burning the fuel
that produces the highest heating output.
Air Supply to Non-Room
Sealed Solid Fuel Appliances
Open Flue Solid Fuel Appliances should have
a permanent ventilation opening of free area
of at least:
• 6,500 mm² where air permeability is
greater than 5.0 m³/(hr.m2), or
• 6,500 mm² + 550 mm² per kW of rated
output above 5 kW where air permeability
is less than 5.0 m³/(hr.m2).
Note:
It is unlikely that dwellings built prior to 2008
would have an air permeability of less than
5m3/(hr.m2), at 50 Pa unless extensive
air tightness measures have been carried out
