If the stove is properly installed it should not emit any smoke into your room. Should this happen,
Check that your room is not air tight. This can easily be checked by opening a door or window. If the
smoking stops you need to provide an additional air supply into the room. If this is not the problem,
check if your chimney is blocked or obstructed and that you are not getting a down draft caused by
the location of the open end of the ue pipe or chimney.
If the problem persists contact your dealer and ask him to get your chimney and stove installation
checked.
Smoke in Room
Fire Burns too Quickly
This is usually caused by too much draft or air.
• Firstly try reducing the air supply to the stove by closing down your air controls, if this fails then
you may have damage to the sealing.
• Check the condition of the door sealing rope and the joints within the stove.
If neither of these solve the problem you may have too much draft on your chimney and you may
need to t a damper valve into your ue system. You should not install a ue damper without con-
sulting a specialist. Never install a damper that can completely block your ue or chimney. Contact
your dealer to discuss this.
Fire Burns too Quickly
Chimney res occur when soot and creosote that have built up in the ue system ignite. If the stove
is operated properly and the ue checked and cleaned regularly then chimney res should not oc-
cur. These res can be very dangerous and must be avoided. Try to maintain good, hot res in the
stove whenever possible and at least once in every ring open the air controls and allow the stove to
burn on full for a short while until the entire re bed is glowing red. Check your ue system regularly
for build-up of soot and creosote and clean as necessary.
Chimney res can be detected by sparks coming from the top of the chimney, a roaring sound com-
ing from the area of the stove or chimney or vibration in the stove or chimney.
In the event of a chimney re, close the air controls, evacuate the building and call the re depart-
ment. Do not relight the stove after a chimney re until the stove and ue have been checked and
any necessary repairs have been carried out.
