4.0 TROUBLE SHOOTING
4.1 General troubleshooting
Weather conditions may affect the performance of the appliance and temperatures above 15C may impede the flow pressure
of the appliance.
What can you do?
1.
Open the primary air regulator a bit more, and fully open the secondary air regulator.
2.
Use only a small amount of fuel at first.
3.
Use only a small amount of fuel when reloading.
4.
Shake off the ash more often.
5.
Do not restrain the fire.
6.
Burn through the brown coal briquettes very well and close the primary air regulator for keeping embers glowing only
after that.
7.
As a last resort, do not use the stove in a transition period.
What are the causes?
1.
There is no proper draught at heating up, potentially caused by either:
A:
Chimney or stove pipe is not closed properly.
B:
Measurements (Height, flue configuration) of the chimney are not appropriate
C:
The door of the stove/supplementary air regulator or the door to another stove is connected to the same
chimney is open.
The room or space is not being adequately heated up by your appliance?
1.
Is the appliance disproportionately small or incorrectly sized?
2.
Is there too much ash in the combustion chamber?
3.
Is the liner blocked due to the use of incorrect fuel being used?
4.
Is the terminal blocked?
5.
Is the air regulator closed?
The appliance is giving off too much heat?
1.
Is the air regulator opened too far?
2.
Is the chimney draught (Flow Pressure) too high?
3.
Did you load too much fuel at once?
4.
Is the fuel being used the correct?
The grate is damaged or corroded, bricks have cracked?
1.
The fireplace has been overloaded.
2.
You didn’t empty the ash drawer sufficiently during its continued use
3.
Chimney draught (Flow pressure) is too high.
