4.  Reloading the stove—Stove tending time will be greatly 

reduced if you reload your stove while the system is still 

hot and there is plenty of hot embers to rekindle the fire 

quickly. Including some smaller pieces of wood in the new 

fuel load will help the stove regain temperatures quickly.

  When reloading, open the oven damper and wait 

momentarily—if loading from the top—slowly lift the key 

plate or if loading from the front, open the door slowly.

 

Load wood—smaller, split pieces first.

 

Close the door or key plate.

 

Open the bell dampers slightly.

 

The stove must rebuild its thermal momentum before 

closing the oven damper.

 

As you become more experienced you will gain knowledge 

on what settings of bell dampers and oven dampers can 

be used at the different stages of the woodburning cycle 

(see Combustion Process,  page 16 figure 7).

Both Oval and Sweetheart stoves feature a utility which allows 

you to use your stove during the summer months with less 

heat radiating from the firebox.
Oval:
1.

  Slide the wood grate from the lower firebox position and 

remove the wood grate slide. 

2.  Set the wood grate on top of the firebrick. You are now 

ready for summer cooking.

To use the summer position in the SweetHeart you will need 

to purchase the optional #4271 summer grate support. Call 

your dealer to order, or call direct to AGA Marvel.
1.  Remove the wood grate from the lower firebox position by 

pulling the grate up, back end first, and out of the firebox. 

2.  Remove the wood grate slide from the wood grate. Place 

the “summer position wood grate stand” at the back of 

the firebox on the firebox extension. 

3.  Place the fire grate so the back of the fire grate rests on 

the stand, and the front rests on the top of the front brick. 

 

You are now ready for summer cooking.
