draught)

 

-  Increase  the  intensity  of  the  burn  by  opening  the  primary  air  intake  regulator 
slightly more

 

Excessive draft 

-  Verify  whether  the  combustion  air  inlets  are  at  their  maximum  If  they  are, 

readjust to reduce the intensity of the burn 

- If necessary, install a draught stabilizer 

- Contact the installer
