CHIMNEY DRAFTS
If you suspect a draft problem in an existing chimney, determine the draft by using a water
manometer (draft gauge). The draft should be measured with the stove at medium burn. After the
measurement is completed, fill any holes that were made to take the reading by using a sheet metal
screw of proper size. The draft should measure between 02" and .10" of water. If the draft is outside
these limits, the stove may not operate properly.
Drafts below .02" will cause excessive smoke
spillage, incomplete combustion and fire start-up problems. A draft near the upper limit will contribute
to the door glass staying clean.
OPTIONAL FAN ASSEMBLY
Routine maintenance of the optional fan assembly on the back of the stove is not required. However,
should it become necessary to replace the fan assembly, order an exact replacement from your local
dealer. Contact a qualified electrical contractor for repair of electrical systems.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Your Blaze King is designed to allow a wide selection of heat output levels. If you begin to lose
control of the amount of heat the stove is emitting, determine the problem early so that major
problems can be avoided.
The four major needs of a well-controlled fire are:
1) Knowledgeable operator.
2) Adequate air supply.
3) Firewood of good quality and proper size.
4) Clean chimney, properly sized and installed.
Considering all of the above, number one is the most important for the safe and efficient operation of
any woodstove. Please study the operation instructions carefully. Consult your BLAZE KING dealer
or call the Customer Service Department at Valley Comfort (250) 493-7444 if you have any questions
not answered in this manual.
All of the four above-mentioned needs are interrelated. A deficiency in any one will effect all of the
others.
If you encounter a problem, determine the source of the problem and then follow-up by
checking the other needs for possible problems.
PROBLEM: Chimney fire.
Act immediately regardless of cause. Adjust combustion air Control to lowest setting, check loading
door to be sure it is tightly closed. Make sure all persons are alerted and out of the house. Call Fire
Department.
After the fire is out, have your chimney and flue connector inspected by a certified chimney sweep. A
masonry chimney that is damaged should be repaired or rebuilt. A prefabricated chimney (factory
built) that is damaged should be replaced. Any damage to the flue connector should be corrected
before the system is used again.
Possible causes for a chimney fire, and remedies for those causes, can be found further in this
section: "Excessive Creosote Formation", and "Spots of Creosote Accumulation in Chimney or Flue
Connector".
