Purpose and description
Enable an agent to recognise a stove, assess its heating capability and operating state, and determine which cooking, space-heating or maintenance actions its configuration supports.
A stove is a heat-producing appliance that uses fuel combustion or electrical energy to cook food, heat an enclosed space, or perform both functions.
It can be Classify a stove by intended service, heat-generation mechanism and integrated components.; Compare declared cooking or heating capability with a proposed use.; Check cookware, fuel, electrical supply and installation compatibility against documented requirements.; Determine whether startup, adjustment, refuelling, shutdown or handling is permitted in the observed state.; Identify conditions requiring cooling, isolation, cleaning, inspection or qualified service.; Record unresolved installation or safeguard evidence before recommending operation..
Distinguishing features
Determine whether the appliance provides cooking heat, space heat or both; the word stove alone does not settle its intended function.
For cooking configurations, identify independently usable burners or cooking zones; an enclosed cooking chamber alone indicates an oven rather than establishing a stove.
For space-heating configurations, identify an appliance designed to release useful heat directly into its surroundings; a device primarily supplying heated water or ducted air belongs to a neighbouring heating-appliance model.
Distinguish a combustion stove's contained fuel-burning arrangement from an open fireplace, while leaving the classification of inserts explicit.
Record whether the cooking surface is a separate built-in hob or part of an integrated stove or range; terminology alone must not determine the registry boundary.
Scope

- cooking | space heating | combined Determines which outputs, operating actions and condition checks are relevant.
- Energy input and heat-generation mechanism
- gas combustion | solid-fuel combustion | liquid-fuel combustion | electric resistance | induction | mixed | other documented mechanism Determines supply compatibility, heat control and applicable hazards.
- Rated energy input
- kW, recorded separately for total appliance and individual zones where specified Supports supply checks and prevents confusing consumed energy with useful heat output.
- Useful space-heating output
- kW with declared operating or test conditions; not applicable where no space-heating function is intended Supports assessment of heating capability without inferring it directly from input rating.
- Cooking-zone configuration
- zone count, burner or element type, independent or linked control, supported cookware dimensions in mm Determines simultaneous cooking capacity and cookware placement.

- Thermal and operating state
- cold and off | ignition or startup | heating | controlled low output | shutdown | cooling with residual heat | fault | unknown Distinguishes cessation of energy input from safe handling temperature.
- Safeguard configuration and condition
- per safeguard: present and verified | present but unverified | failed | absent | not applicable Makes action decisions depend on actual protections rather than assumed features.
- Applicable installation and conformity evidence
- manufacturer instructions, jurisdiction, standard identifier and edition, issuing body, certification record and covered configuration Connects requirements to the particular stove type and installation context.

Drafted structure
Bundle to layer to finding to question, as the second pass will find it: 6 bundles · 11 layers · 19 findings · 30 questions.
Stove identity and service Establishes what sense of stove is represented and which thermal services the appliance provides.
Cooking and space-heating stoves share a name but require different capability and operating judgements.
Intended thermal service
Separates deliberate cooking and heating functions from incidental heat release.
Declared stove purpose
Record whether cooking, space heating or both are intended functions; incidental room warming does not establish a space-heating rating.
- Is this stove intended for cooking, space heating or both? definition
- What manufacturer or other authoritative description establishes its intended thermal service? provenance
Appliance boundaries
Identifies integral components and boundaries with neighbouring appliance kinds.
Integrated and separate components
Record whether burners, hob, oven, firebox and exhaust connector form one appliance, and flag uncertain treatment of standalone hobs or fireplace inserts.
- Which cooking zones, oven chambers or heating components belong to the stove itself? boundary
- Does this configuration overlap a separately registered hob, oven, range or fireplace-insert concept? boundary
Energy and heat delivery Describes how the stove receives energy, generates heat and delivers useful thermal output.
A flame burner, resistance element, induction zone and solid-fuel firebox impose different compatibility and control constraints.
Supply and conversion
Captures the approved energy source and mechanism for producing cooking or heating output.
Compatible energy input
Record approved fuel or electrical supply for each subsystem, including documented conversion requirements where relevant.
- Which fuel specification or electrical supply does each heat-producing subsystem require? definition
- What documentation establishes the current supply configuration and any authorised conversion? provenance
Useful thermal output
Connects rated performance to cooking surfaces, cookware or room heating.
Output and load compatibility
Keep energy input distinct from useful heat output and record constraints on cookware, zone combinations or heating loads.

- Which cookware materials, base sizes or simultaneous zone combinations are supported? action
- For a space-heating stove, what evidence supports the proposed heating load under the intended conditions? measurement
Installation and exhaust Captures the physical setting and air-handling dependencies required for the stove's intended operation.
A functioning stove can remain unsuitable for use when its support, clearances, combustion air or exhaust route are incompatible.
Placement and support

- Which required protections or restraints are installed and verified? action
Air and exhaust paths
Distinguishes combustion-air supply, combustion exhaust and cooking-fume extraction.
Ventilation and flue dependencies
Record whether combustion products enter the room or a dedicated exhaust path, and distinguish a cooking hood from a combustion flue.
- Where do combustion products leave the stove, and what air-supply or exhaust connections does the design require? boundary
- What documented checks establish adequate ventilation or flue performance, including relevant effects of extraction fans? provenance
Operation and protective controls Relates stove states, user controls and verified safeguards to permissible actions.
Turning a control off does not establish that a stove is cold, isolated or free of ongoing combustion.
Thermal state and transitions
Tracks startup, heat adjustment, shutdown and residual heat for the applicable stove mechanism.
State-dependent actions
Record observed heat and combustion states separately from control positions, with mechanism-specific operating procedures.
- What evidence distinguishes active heating, continuing combustion and residual heat after shutdown? measurement

Safeguards and fault response
Records fitted protections and the operating restrictions associated with faults.
Verified protection functions
Identify applicable protections such as flame-failure shutoff, overtemperature protection, pan detection or door interlocks, without assuming every stove includes them.
- Which protective functions are fitted, and what evidence establishes their condition? provenance
- Which observed faults require stopping use, isolating the energy supply or obtaining qualified service under the applicable instructions? action
Condition, maintenance and evidence Connects stove deterioration and maintenance needs to documented operating requirements.
Fuel deposits, obstructed burners, damaged cooking surfaces and degraded firebox components affect different stove types in different ways.
Wear, deposits and consumables
Identifies condition checks and maintenance tasks specific to the installed heating mechanism.
Mechanism-specific maintenance
Record applicable checks for burner obstruction, ash or soot accumulation, firebox linings, door seals, cooking surfaces and replaceable components.
- Which deposits, cracks, seal defects or component changes are present, and how were they assessed? measurement
