External Air Supply

The Sherwood 5kW stove is equipped with an external air supply feature, making it suitable for modern, well-sealed homes. This feature ensures a constant supply of air, which is crucial for maintaining proper combustion and flue performance. The external air duct is fitted around the air inlet control and should be connected to an external wall, avoiding sharp bends. This setup helps prevent blockages and ensures efficient operation.

Recommended Fuels

For optimal performance and longevity, it is essential to burn only the recommended fuels in your Sherwood stove. Use seasoned timber with a moisture content of less than 20% and avoid burning construction timber, painted wood, or any treated materials. For solid fuels, only use anthracite or smokeless briquette fuels suitable for closed heating appliances.

Lighting and Refueling

Proper lighting and refueling techniques are crucial for maintaining the efficiency and safety of your stove. Always follow the instructions provided in the manual for lighting the stove and adding fuel. Never leave the fire door open except when fueling, cleaning ash, or during initial lighting. When refueling, ensure the flames are well-established before reducing the airwash control to prevent unnecessary smoke emissions.

Annual Service

Before the start of the heating season, it is essential to strip, inspect, and clean the appliance using the following instructions:

  1. Allow the appliance to cool.
  2. Remove all internal parts: baffle, log guard, and firebricks. Handle firebricks with care as they can become fragile after use.
  3. Sweep the appliance if necessary.
  4. Vacuum clean any remaining ash and debris from the inside of the appliance.
  5. Check parts for any damage and replace any damaged parts using genuine Henley Stoves replacement parts.
  6. Check and clean the firebricks with a soft brush. Replace damaged bricks as soon as possible.
  7. Re-fit cleaned internal parts.
  8. Clean the glass surfaces using a non-abrasive glass cleaner.
  9. Fit a new door rope seal.
  10. Lightly oil the door catch mechanism and hinge pins, avoiding oil on the door seals and glass.

Seasonal Use

After a period of disuse, such as during warmer months, remove the baffle and inspect the inside of the stove and flue ways to ensure they are clear. Set the air controls half open to keep the appliance ventilated and prevent moisture build-up.

Ventilation

According to Building Regulations 2014 for Heat Producing Appliances, any room or space containing an appliance should have a ventilation opening of at least the size shown below:

  • For appliances designed to burn a range of different solid fuels: The air supply should accommodate burning the fuel that produces the highest heating output.
  • 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).

Compliance with the Clean Air Act

The Sherwood 5kW stove complies with the Clean Air Act, making it suitable for use in smoke control areas in Ireland. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney in these areas unless using an exempt appliance. For more information on smoke control areas and authorized fuels, please refer to the Irish Government's guidelines.

Warranty Registration

To activate your warranty, please register your stove online at Henley Stoves Warranty Registration. Ensure that all necessary details, such as the installation date, installer name, and HETAS registration number, are accurately entered.

Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your Sherwood stove in top condition. This includes cleaning the baffle plate, door glass, and rope seals, as well as inspecting the fuel retainer. The chimney should be swept at least twice a year to prevent soot build-up and ensure efficient operation. The ash pan should be emptied regularly to maintain proper airflow and combustion efficiency.

Safety Precautions

  • Fireguard: Use a fireguard conforming to BS 8423:2010 in the presence of children, the elderly, or infirm individuals.
  • Combustible Materials: Keep combustible materials, such as photographs, TVs, and furniture, at least 1 meter away from the stove.
  • Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation to maintain proper combustion and prevent smoke from entering the room.
  • Carbon Monoxide Alarm: Install an audible carbon monoxide alarm in the room where the stove is fitted.

The Sherwood 5kW Multi-Fuel (Eco) stove is a reliable and efficient heating solution for any Irish home.
