Figure 10.1 Factory-built Fireplaces: Troubleshooting

This

replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-

tion is provided to allow proper draft to the

replace system.

Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for
the improper performance of the

replace system caused

by inadequate draft due to environmental conditions, down
drafts, tight sealing construction of the structure, or mechan-
ical exhausting devices which will create a negative air pres-
sure within the structure where the

replace is located.

A. Understanding Vent Problems

If smoke spillage occurs from a

replace opening when the

door is open and the proper chimney height,

ue size, and

con

guration requirements for the installation have been

met, there is either a leakage in the

ue, a blockage in the

ue, or some condition is in effect to draw smoke from the

replace into the house. Understanding and differentiating

the conditions which can cause each of these kinds of spill-
age problems is essential to their solution.

• Flue

Leakage

Check for improperly connected

ue joints or a damaged

ue joint in the chimney system. Such leakage would

reduce draft (air would be drawn in through the leaks rather
than through the

replace). The result might be dif

cult

start-up and smoky

res that might spill if other adverse

draft conditions accompany this problem.

• Flue

Blockage

The damper should be open.
