THE PRINCIPLE OF THE STOVE
Your Villager stove is built to the highest
standard of craftsmanship using the best
materials and the most modern equipment
available. It is a highly efficient and sophisticated
piece of machinery and when properly installed
and operated it should provide a lifetime of
heating satisfaction.
Safety is the most important consideration when
installing your fire. If not properly installed and
operated a house fire may result. Installation
must comply with the Building Regulations and
conform to all safety standards.
Villager produce a variety of appliances ranging
in physical size and heat output all with
traditional style features and appearance.
The fire door is fitted with a special high
temperature ceramic glass panel through which
the fire can be viewed.
The stove is lined with firebricks or heat
reflective panels which ensure complete
combustion and provide a good heat store to
even out fluctuations in burning.
An internal throat plate produces turbulence to
encourage secondary combustion and direct the
flue gas around the whole upper firebox before
allowing it to escape up the chimney.
Most, Villager stoves are fitted with an „air wash‟
so called because it provides a curtain of high
speed preheated air behind the glass to help
keep it clean and provide secondary air / over
draught.
The provision of two inlets on all stoves gives a
wide range of primary / secondary air, under
draught / over draught combinations. The
optimum setting will only be established by
experience in firing the appliance, and will
depend on the fuel, the position of the appliance
in the house, and conditions of the chimney etc.
