The following are a few conditions that should be evaluated
and (corrected if necessary) if an overfiring condition is sus-
pected:
Overfiring Caused From Improper Installation
- Ensure that
all installation requirements have been met as outlined in the
installation manual. The chimney should be clean and in good
repair. A draft test should be performed to determine if the
draft requirements of the appliance are being met. A draft
gauge should read between .05 and .07 inches water column
(" W.C.).
Excessive draft (above .07 " W.C.) will allow too much com-
bustion air to be pulled in which results in hotter burns. Too
little draft (below .05 " W.C.) will not allow enough combustion
air delivery to maintain a fire (this may result in improper op-
eration of appliance, i.e. won't maintain fire unless fuel door is
left open. See Care and Operation Section).
Overfiring Caused From Improper Operation
- Operate this
appliance only as outlined in this manual. Never burn the ap-
pliance with the fuel door or ash drawer open or ajar.
Do not operate this stove with the Air Control in the
"open" position (pulled out) for extended periods. This
wastes fuel and can cause dangerous overfiring condi-
tions. NEVER leave the stove unattended on high set-
tings.
Overfiring Caused From Improper Maintenance
-
Strictly adhere to all maintenance requirements at fre-
quent intervals as prescribed in this manual including
cleaning of flue and stove. Should the fuel door, ash
drawer or glass gaskets become worn or damaged, they
should be replaced.
Overfiring Caused From Improper Fuel
- This appli-
ance is approved for use with natural dry well seasoned
wood only (ask your authorized dealer what are ap-
proved fuels for your area). Do not burn garbage, parti-
cleboard scraps, or pressed logs using bonding agents
because they can produce conditions that will deterio-
rate metal. Do not overload or use kindling wood or mill
ends as primary fuel as this may cause overfiring.
