General
The most important factor is heat output, measured in kilowatts (kW). A simple formula: measure your room in cubic metres (Length × Width × Height) and divide by 14 for a well-insulated modern home, or by 10–12 for older properties.For most standard UK living rooms, a 4–5kW stove is an excellent choice — it provides comfortable heat without overwhelming the space. Remember: bigger is not better. An oversized stove forced to run at low temperatures will cause black glass, soot build-up, and inefficient burning.
Contact your customer service representative with your proof of purchase, serial number, and a description of the issue. Please include supporting photographs where possible. If the fault is covered under warranty, we will arrange for repair or replacement of the faulty component, at our discretion.
Your Parkland stove comes with a comprehensive user manual. For the first fire, we recommend following the “curing” process — lighting small, controlled fires to allow the stove's paint and components to settle gradually. This prevents cracking and ensures the stove performs optimally. Full instructions are provided in your manual.
We recommend having your chimney swept at least twice a year when burning wood, or at least once a year when burning smokeless fuels. Regular sweeping prevents soot build-up, reduces the risk of chimney fires, and maintains efficient performance. Keep records and receipts of chimney sweeping — you may need these for warranty claims.
