8. SUMMER PAUSE AND RECCOMENDATIONS FOR THE SEASON
After you have cleaned the hearth, the chimney and flue, trying to eliminate completely the ash
and other residuals, you must close the hearth door and its regulators; in case that you are
disconnecting the device from the flue, you must close its openings in order to enable operation of
other devices connected to the same flue.
The cleaning of the flue should be done at least once a year. Check the state of gaskets and
replace them if necessary.
If there is dampness in the room where the stove has been placed, we advise you to put
absorbent salts into the hearth. If you want to keep for long the aesthetic look of the stove it is
important to protect its internal walls in cast iron with neutral Vaseline.
9. SOLUTIONS OF THE PROBLEMS
9.1 The appliance does not work
−
Check that the entrance of the chimney has been carried out perfectly.
−
Check whether the dimensions of the chimney are correct and appropriate to the appliance.
−
Check whether the flue is well isolated from thermo agents and made according to the
standards.
−
The doors of the stove must be well sealed.
9.2 Difficulty in lighting the fire
−
Open the primary air and the smoke register.
−
Use very dry wood.
−
Air the room in order to have a great quantity of oxygen.
−
The flue must be appropriated to the appliance used.
9.3 Smoke comes out
−
Check if the primary air register is opened.
−
Check if the entrance of the chimney presents leaks.
−
Check if the ash or other residuals have obstructed the draining pipe.
-
Insufficient draught.
-
Check the draught in the flue.
-
Check the gaskets.
9.4 The glass gets dirty in a short time
−
Damp wood: use dry wood (
max.20%
moisture
)
−
Wrong fuels (see materials allowed)
−
Too much fuel in the hearth space
−
Draught insufficient (see connection to the flue)
−
Wrong regulation: if the secondary air register is closed, the glass gets dirty in a short time.
9.5 Condensation
−
During the initial lightings the condensation is normal, because the built-in materials contain
dampness.
−
If the problem goes on, check the wood you use; it must not be damp or badly dried.
−
The chimney must not have defects and it must not cool down too quickly the draining gas.
