2024-11-20

Wall-Mounted Wood-Burning Stove is a functional and beautiful warming device, mainly used in indoor spaces, which can provide warmth and serve as a design highlight. However, installing a fireplace(stove) also requires certain steps and precautions. This article will explain the installation and maintenance tips of the fireplace(stove) in detail.

Preparation Before Installation:

Before installing a wall mounted wood burning stove, it is necessary to conduct a detailed inspection and planning of the installation location. Make sure that the floor and walls can bear the weight of the fireplace and there is enough space around for smoke exhaust and maintenance. Prepare the required tools and materials in advance, including bolts, chimney pipes and sealants.

Location Selection And Safety Distance Requirements:

When choosing the installation location of the fireplace, avoid being too close to combustible materials. Generally, wall mounted wood stoves should be kept at a certain safe distance from walls, furniture and other combustibles. In addition, the installation site is preferably close to the smoke exhaust port to facilitate the connection of the chimney and the construction of the smoke exhaust system.

Chimney Installation Steps:

Determine the path of the chimney: Plan the path of the chimney according to the location of the fireplace to minimize bending and resistance.

Installation bracket: Install brackets at each key node of the chimney to ensure its stability.
Connect the chimney: Connect the chimney to the smoke outlet of the fireplace tightly, and use high-temperature sealant or gasket to seal it to prevent smoke leakage.
Check the sealing: After the installation is completed, check the sealing to ensure that the smoke will not leak from the joints.
Install the rain cap: Install the rain cap on the top of the chimney to prevent rain from entering.

Use And Maintenance Of Wall Mounted Wood Fireplace

Precautions For Use

When using a carbon steel round fireplace, you need to follow the following precautions:

First use: When a new fireplace is ignited for the first time, there may be a slight odor, which is caused by the curing of the surface coating at high temperature. It is recommended to maintain good ventilation.

Add fuel appropriately: Do not overfill the fuel to avoid excessive flames, damage to the furnace body or cause safety problems.

Keep ventilation: When using the wall mounted wood fireplace, ensure that there is enough air circulation in the room to prevent smoke from gathering.

Daily Maintenance And Cleaning

Regular maintenance and cleaning of the wall hung log burner can extend its service life and maintain its good heating effect. The main maintenance work includes:

Clean the furnace: Regularly remove ashes and residues in the furnace to prevent clogging of the smoke exhaust system.

Check the chimney: Check the chimney for smoothness at regular intervals, clean carbon deposits and soot if necessary, and avoid smoke backflow.

Coating repair: If rust or peeling of the coating is found on the surface of the furnace body, it should be repaired in time to prevent further corrosion.

FAQ

1. What should I do if the chimney smoke exhaust effect is not good?

– Check whether there is blockage or excessive bending, adjust the chimney angle to ensure smoothness.

– Make sure that the chimney outlet is higher than the surrounding buildings or obstacles to avoid negative pressure affecting smoke exhaust.

2. How to solve the problem of too high surface temperature of the fireplace?

– Check whether there is excessive fuel added inside the fireplace to control the size of the flame.

– Ensure that the fireproof and heat-insulating measures around the fireplace are in place, and install insulation boards or guardrails if necessary.

3. Can the fireplace be used outdoors?

– Wall mounted wood burning stoves are very suitable for outdoor use, but they need to prevent rain and moisture from corroding the surface of the fireplace. A protective cover can be added when not in use.

The wall mounted wood burning stove is not only a heating tool, but also a decoration to enhance the home atmosphere.
