Troubleshooting

Probable Cause
• Green wood / wet wood
• Logs are too large
• Not enough primary air
• Insufficient draft
• Too much draft
• Excessive draft
• Flue is cold
• Insufficient draught
• Poor quality wood
This will overheat the grate and cause
premature wear and distortion.
• The internal vermiculite panels of the
appliance should be checked regularly
for soundness. If any wear and tear is
found, we recommend these parts are
replaced immediately.
• Check the rope door seals are intact
and are not worn. These should be
replaced on an annual basis to ensure
the correct operation of this appliance.
• The glass can be cleaned using a soft
damp cloth or a ceramic glass cleaner
(available from your local stockist)
Use only replacement parts
recommended by the manufacturer.
Action Recommend
Use hardwood logs with a maximum
moisture content of 20%
Use kindling and small logs to start the

Open air control
Check the flue is not obstructed
Reduce the air control
Install a draft stabiliser
Burn paper and kindling to increase
heat in flue
Check the flue is not obstructed

Higher calorific value)
