STOVE, FLUE OR OTHER
COMPONENTS GLOWING RED
• Prevention
The Primary and Secondary air controls
should be immediately closed to let the
fire die down to an acceptable level and
to reduce the heat output which will in
turn eliminate the glow from the over-
heated components. Over-firing is dan-
gerous and could permanently damage
or warp your stove and its components.
The effects of over-firing are fairly obvi-
ous to anyone in the stove industry and
will invalidate your Hi-Flame Warranty.
Check the stove and the flue system for
signs of damage before you re-use the
stove.
• Causes: Over-Firing
This is caused
by using the stove at a higher output
than recommended for prolonged
periods of time and / or over-filling the
firebox with fuel. The excessive heat in
the flue system produced by over-firing
could potentially also lead to a chimney
fire (
See ‘Chimney Fire’ above)
.
SMOKE AND FUMES ESCAPING
INTO THE ROOM
When properly installed and
operated your stove should not
normally emit fumes or smoke into
the room. When first using the stove
it is normal to experience paint fumes
or see light smoke rising from some
of the stove’s painted surfaces, but
these should eventually pass as the
paint cures. Occasional minor smoke
escape may also occur during refuelling
process. However, persistent smoke or
fumes could be dangerous and in this
situation you should take immediate
avoiding action.
• Prevention
Open doors and windows to ventilate
the room and let the fire go out to
allow the stove to cool. Never pour
water onto the fire as this could cause
cast iron components to break
Most importantly
, never re-light the
stove until the problem has been
identified and solved. If in doubt, in the
first instance always seek the expert
advice of your approved installer, or
authorised Hi-Flame dealer.
There are a number of factors, either
alone or combined, which could cause
such problems:
• Causes: A blockage
When safe to
do so, examine the flue-way above the
baffle plate as well as the flue pipe and
chimney system via the appropriate
inspection hatches and clear any soot
blockages. Excessive deposits could also
indicate that the chimney or flue itself
also needs cleaning (see page 34).
• Causes:
Inadequate supply
of combustion air
Check that any
permanent air vent fitted to supply the
extra combustion air required for the
stove has not been accidentally blocked.
Remember there should never be an ex-
tractor fan in the same room as a stove,
even in a large open plan area. A simple
way of checking whether or not the
stove is receiving enough combustion
air is to open a window in the same
room as the stove whilst the stove is
operating. If this improves the problem
then this would certainly indicate that
the stove is being starved of
