2.

Troubleshooting

(continued)

 

Smoke entering the room from the firebox when the door is open may be caused by

 

 

Insufficient length of flue (flue to be 4500mm minimum underneath the base of heater to 
underside of cowl)   

Increase height of flue 

 

Flue downdraught 

Consult dealer or increase height of flue. 

 

Creosote buildup in flue  

Remove cowl and clean flue as per cleaning instructions. Check moisture content of wood. 
 

 

Excessive ash build up 

Some woods will give large amounts of ash despite how you run the heater. Others will give you very little. 
Use the wood which is most convenient for you as long as it is dry. After a period of time you will get to 
know when to empty your unit. Bark will give you excessive ash. Try not to burn it.

 

If you are burning wood that gives you charcoal, you may find that after running the heater say for 8 hours 
at maximum burn rate, the charcoal builds up excessively. Overnight burn will reduce this charcoal back to 
a fine ash. If you are not ready to shut down for overnight burn when you next fuel the stove, load the 
stove with only one piece of wood and lay it across the firebox on top of the charcoal. Open the air control 
wide open and you will find the charcoal will burn down with the one piece of wood. Repeat the process 
until the ash level is significantly reduced.
