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")

Flue 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 obstacles in the vicinity

Air inlets set incorrectly Open the air inlets completely.

Appliance connected to the flue incor-

rectly

Connection should be hermetically tight.

Vacuum in area in which the appliance 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.

Appliance isleaking air Check the door seals and appliance joints.
