Deposit on the glass
possible cause possible solution
Insufficient draught
A cold flue usually failsto create sufficient draught. Follow the instruc-
tionsfor starting a fire in the ‘Use’ section; open a window.
Wood too damp Use wood with no more than 20%moisture.
Logs too large
Use smallpieces of kindling. Use split logs no larger than 30 cm in cir-
cumference.
Wood stacked incorrectly
Stackthe logs in a way that allows adequate air flow between the
logs (open stacking, see "Burning wood")
Chimney does not work properly
Check whether the chimney meets the requirements: at least 4
metres high, correct diameter, well-insulated, smooth inside, not too
many bends, no obstructions in chimney (bird's nest, too much soot
deposit), hermetically tight (no chinks).
Chimney stack incorrect Sufficiently high above the roof, no obstaclesin the vicinity
Air inlets set incorrectly Open the air inlets completely.
Stove connected to the chimney incor-
rectly
Connection should be hermetically tight.
Vacuum in area in which the stove is
installed
Switch off extraction systems.
Insufficient supply of fresh air
Provide an adequate air supply; if necessary use outside air con-
nection.
Bad weather
? Inversion (reversed air flow in chimney
because of a high outside temperature),
extreme wind speeds
We recommend you don't use the appliance in the case of inversion.
If required, install an extra hood on the flue to increase the draught.
Draught in the living room
Avoid draught in the living room, do not place the appliance near a
door or heating air ducts.
Flames touch the glass
Make sure the wood is not positioned too close to the glass. Slide the
primary air inlet cover closer to the "Closed" position.
Stove is leaking air Check the door sealsand stove joints.
