Stanley Deluxe 90 solid fuel range

carmel85

I just moved into a rented house with an old Stanley Deluxe 90 solid fuel range. Apparently the previous tenants used to heat the rads with it however i've found that they're not heating up, the water is though. I don't know if it's because i haven't had the temp high enough yet.. I'm using turf and have put as big a fire down as I can. I'm also wondering if it's something to do with the damper controls and whether i'm using them properly. There's two knobs, one of which i think is an oven damper and the other a flue damper but I don't know when these are supposed to be open or closed, or if they have anything to do with heating the rads.. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Is the water getting hot in the taps?
Is there a thermostat on the 'hot pipe' leaving the range?
That should be set at around 50-60°.
It could also be that the circulating pump is 'stuck' if it has been idle for a while.
Locate the pump and feel if it 'vibrating' when the water is hot.....
